It’s for my daughter, she’s a mother to two little plus she takes care of a senile old grandmother that gives no breaks and is selfish and she has a lot on her plate and she still comes through it all like a mother should with kindness and love

Rose: A caretaker, best friend, rockstar, and generous soul all wrapped up into one marvelous woman.


The older I get the closer we become. Since moving out and becoming a married woman, my mom is always a phone call away. Whether it is to tell me how long to keep chicken in the oven for or one of our hour long conversations on the way to work, she is a woman I can always count on.

She is the glue who holds the family together. The one who is always down for a trip to see her grand pup Rocky. The one who will beat all of us in scrabble with her eyes close. The woman who is a 2nd generation Annalee Collector and inspired myself and brother in law to start our own collections.

My Mom makes me smile because she still cooks me homemade food once in a while.

My mom is the most amazing woman! She takes care of my daughter who has a mental illness and she helps take care of a lady from her church. She babysits her great grandchildren and plants a garden for everyone to enjoy. She is simply the most wonderful mother I could have. I don’t know what I would do without her. She deserves the best in life!

My Mother-in-law is just like a mother to me. She is 90 years old, and she is the one who got me into the precious Annalees. I’ve got some really old ones that she has given me. Actually, I have already bought her some patriotic Annalees from your site for her for Mother’s Day. Her name is Marianne, but we all call her Nanny. She has always been the nicest and sweetest lady that I have ever met. She’s a one-of-a-kind lady!

My mom is still serving her community as the Lieutenant of the Harpersville Police Department and will be turning 73 next October! It is always, God, family, friends and community first before herself. She needs and deserves this.

My mom has been my hero since I was 5 when my father passed away and it was her and I. She has done everything to ensure I had the best education and has been my support system even after I am grown and almost died in an accident that critically injured me. She always put everyone before herself. She dresses as an elf at Christmas to share Christmas cheer all for free. She never ask for anything back. My mom is my hero.

My mom is my hero, she has always been there for me. It was only her and I when my dad died. She has gone above and beyond making sure I had the best education working 3 jobs. She has even been there for me as an adult, when I had an auto accident which I almost died. She care for me for 4 months to ensure I was back on my feet. She has survived cancer and even a disabling injury to her spine trying to help another with evacuation during hurricane Irma and yet she still smiles and still puts herself out there doing good for others and does not give up where most would have with the debilitating pain she lives with daily. She has brought many kids into our house while I was in school to live because they had no place. This is all because she has a heart of gold. At Christmas she puts on Elf costumes to spread Christmas Cheer. My mom is not just my hero but a hero to many and yet she never sees herself as just a regular person.

All moms are special but I would say I’m partial in thinking I was lucky to get one of the best. As Ive gotten older I’ve realized just how important and how much she does behind the scenes without every asking or needing acknowledgment for. My mom would go above and beyond not only for her own kids but she would step in and help anyone. She is a lover of all things annalees and loves collecting them. I may give her a hard time for the number of annalees she has but I’d be the first one to buy her one I know she had been looking at but not wanting to spend the money on herself just to see how happy it makes her. Thank you to my mom for being my best friend and wishing all moms a very Happy Mother’s Day!

My mom is a kind hearted person who may not have much but will always make sure her friends and family have what they want before herself. My mom has a huge collection of Annalee doll’s especially Christmas ones. I grew up loving them! Now for every special occasion and Christmas my moms buys one for me and my brothers! The best one yet she gave me was the mother mouse holding her baby for my first child and her first grandchild! My mom truly is just the most kind hearted person who always puts others first. She taught us to be kind and gave us our love for Annalee’s.

This is my bff and she’s a mother to two kids , but she also is raising and fighting for her grandchildrens safety and life and she is one awesome person and she just goes and goes and as you can see she doesn’t rest very well , but she sure puts smiles on others face !

I have the most loving caring kindest sweetest mother in the world. She constantly puts others above herself, she is giving, sweet and truly is my hero. I am the mother and woman I am today because of her. She is the most precious gift to me I cherish her and our relationship with all of my heart. I can't think of anyone more deserving, I'd give her the world if I could <3

Age 93 a farmer’s wife who finally went to college and graduated in her age 80’s from college after joining the GO 60 program and received her first ever paycheck in her 80’s.

My mom was the cool mom and she always smiled and laughed. Everything was about us kids! I didn't realize the extent until I was 12 years old. I was shocked that mom and dad stopped eating with us. Family dinners were taught to be an important time for the family. I didn't realize why it stopped, but mom was still smiling so I figured it was nothing. Weeks later it dawned on me why our routine had changed. Mom and dad didn't have enough food for the family. Rather than us all make a small sacrifice, they politely waited until us three girls were done and they ate if there was anything left over. I still cry to this day when I think about those times. Many times a mother's love goes way beyond what the eye sees.

She always taught us the value of kindness!

My Mom is the greatest person on this side of the equator. She believes in bringing out the best in others and practices random acts of kindness on a regular basis. She created a go fund me project which raised enough money to provide new headphones for all the students in her classroom in addition to an area rug for story time. Besides giving back to the community, she spends quality time with me and never lets adversity stand in the way of her successes.

My Mom is one of a kind who appreciates the good in others, overlooks the bad, and brings out the best. Besides being my best friend, she gives back much to the community. She recently made a generous donation to “Arizona Helping Hands” and volunteers at soup kitchens and animal shelters.

My mom drove Christmas day and all through the night to be here on December 26 to surprise me for my birthday. She came down from New Hampshire to North Carolina. My brother passed unexpectedly in September and she knew this birthday would be a hard one for me. We were less than a year apart (his birthday was Dec. 30th) and we would banter back and forth and have fun. He was my hero. She drove down and I was so shocked because I had just talked to her the day before but that was her plan. This year her birthday is on mother's day and that is awesome. She is an amazing mom!
