Homage to My Mom...and Paper Products


"The Parade of Paper Products"

This is just one of the many reasons I love my mom so much!!!
And not just for the obvious tangible benefits I receive, but because it is so unique and so my mom's heart!


I always joke that my mom's love language is paper products. Any time she comes to visit, along with her comes an array of toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, diapers, etc. As I mentioned above, I call it the "Parade of Paper Products." I can literally count on one hand how many times I have had to purchase these products for myself since I have left home. The Cozy Cone (aka Granny's house) is like a mini-Sam's Club with her back room stocked with an assortment of paper products, shampoos, laundry detergent, and whatever other personal or household cleaning necessity you can think of.


What a tremendous blessing it is and the Workman household is extremely grateful for Granny's generosity. That is just my mom's heart. She just has a heart to give and give. And not just to my sister and I and our families, but to anyone who needs it, she will do her best to provide. On multiple occasions I have witnessed my mom make sacrifices herself to give to others. She is a true servant and for as long as I can remember, has had a genuine heart for other people. The most valuable thing I learned from my mom was to love others as I love myself. Thanks Mom!



I love my mom!

Ha! That is so funny because my parents house is exactly the same way. I ran out of paper towels over Christmas so I called my dad (who was coming over anyway) and asked him to bring over a roll. Instead he brought six, and told me that they had more than double that at home! It must be a generational thing...was there a great paper famine in the 60's that no one ever told us about?
