I'm going to compile a list of things I learned from my mother. I think it would be a great way to appreciate her, and also, it's a super way to have a head start if I ever have a kid myself. I'll have a reference.

It would include:
1) how to make hospital corners on a bed
2) that there's good reason to sort laundry into lights and darks
3) the names of dozens of plants and shrubs
4) naps are key
5) it's important to smile a lot, and sometimes smiling makes you feel happier than you did a minute ago.
The list goes on and on...
