Mamma said so! Who hasn't heard those three little words? But that wasn't the only commandment my mamma made during our sixty years together. Each whimsically illustrated declaration you'll read in this beautiful, colorful book is important stuff I never want to forget. The practical and positive messages from a lifetime of motherly guidance are sure to bring memories and a smile as your own mom's advice comes to mind. And if you didn't have a mamma dispensing her wisdom to you, trust me when I say my mamma would have been happy to share hers with you and anyone else she believed needed to hear what she had to say. Actually, some of the greatest lessons I learned from my amazing, sassy southern mamma were not spoken words but rather from her life well lived. Those, too, are messages you'll find among the gems this little book contains. As you read I hope you feel as if Mamma has your back. And she would have! Mamma would be in your corner and on your side unequivocally and unconditionally. She would want you to believe in yourself as much as she did. And that, my friends, is why I'm sharing with you what my mamma said and what she would say to you right now. May you be encouraged by every word!
