Full Circle – My Mom and Me: Bianca Bujan

In this series, we invited some of our local moms to have photos taken with their moms, and talk to us about their relationship. As we get older, it’s not uncommon to find ourselves caring for our parents as well as our own family.
Local mom, blogger and marketer Bianca Bujan hears her mother’s voice when she tells her kids: “My saying so is reason enough!”
Even though Bianca is adopted, people often tell her that she looks like her mom. “I think I’ve adopted her mannerisms.”
The best piece of advice her mom gave her is “that positive reinforcement and a whole lot of love is the key to successful parenting.”
