Come and listen to my story about a mother named Cheri.
It all started with a wonderful woman we have called “a goddess among women” (really) since childhood…
She’s on the right, joined by some family in all her blogging glory
First, she added me…
Shirt notes a year where my UCSB earned more Nobel Prizes (2) than Parents’ UCLA (0)
Second, although at the time, I wasn’t sure why, she added Courtney…
Showing off her table manners at the high society event of Laura’s 6th birthday
Which made the two of us gooney kids…
On cultural overload atop a double decker bus in London
I guess to shake things up in our female house, and to create another female, she added my Dad…
Enjoying their favorite treats, Dad with Laura (bringing me to my next point)
Next, because she is amazing at making fetus into girl and girl into woman, she added Laura…
That blonde Water Babies kid has nothing on her
And Laura makes three…
At new heights on the London Eye
By association through me, persuasive culinary love, and computer wizardry came this guy…
It’s really Adam incognito
Mom did have the power to add, but he did not come without the approval power of her…
Laura, the toothless
In the end, my Mom is more amazing than a “Godfather” role in our family, she is our “goddess among women”…
Getting a little emo at my graduation
And, for which, I’ve tried to bestow her with awards…
Receiving my gratitude stole from my graduation gown
For more reasons than any story could tell, I love my Mom…
Feel the love
I love you Mom. Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Oooooooh. This is so cool.
I agree – your mom IS fantastic, and so, clearly, are her daughters

Hi Kristen! I’m here from “the goddess’s” blog!! As far as ‘first posts’ go…this one kicked some major blogging butt!! What a lucky group you are to have Cheri in your lives…but…. I guess you know that, huh?!?!
Congratulations on your graduation!!
Lovely tribute – obviously your mom is indeed that great to turn out such a wonderful young woman.
Wow. So glad this bitchin’ family has its own blog. Kudos on the first post Kristen! Cheri is a goddess among many in your family.
Kristen, this is so beautiful! I agree..your mother is an amazing goddess and you are on your way to being the same way!
Kristen-
My question is… how did a picture of my brother in a pink wig and bracelets not end up on the internet SOONER?!
