The 10 Worst Moms in Pop Culture

Donald Deane — Sun, 12 May 2013 20:27:09 +0000

If movies and TV have taught us anything, it's that all mothers are NOT created equal. While some fictional moms might be willing to play the doting matriarch, others engage in twisted mind games, dole out severe corporal punishment and even commit murder most foul. Think about that the next time you forget to call your mom on Mother's Day.

10 Things No One Should EVER Give Mom on Mother's Day

Stephanie McMaster — Fri, 03 May 2013 21:34:24 +0000

Shopping for Mom can be stressful. She’s the woman who brought you into the world, who cleaned your face with her own spit when you were little, who asked you on a daily basis if you were raised in a barn (and did so lovingly). There’s no gift that can thank her for all that [...]

Does Father's Day Get The Same Attention As Mother's Day? — Survey of the Day

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 17:30:20 +0000

Retailers and greeting card companies would like you to think Father’s Day is just as important as Mother’s Day. Is that really the case? According to most people, the celebration of fatherhood — which was created to complement Mother’s Day — doesn’t get the same amount of attention as the original. A RetailMeNot.com poll of 1,005 [...]

Moms do a lot for us. Even after we are no longer their responsibility, they are still doing things for us that we take for granted. We should be celebrating these great ladies every single day of the year, not just on Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is the time for pretending that preparing breakfast for [...]

Kindergarten Graduations and Mother's Day

Sarah H. — Fri, 13 May 2011 15:30:16 +0000

I have been absent the last few weeks, but it’s not because I haven’t wanted to write, it’s because I just haven’t had time! I can give you a million excuses, but here are just a few.

I have been planning my sons Kindergarten Graduation. While I am so excited to see him ‘graduate’ and wear his little homemade graduation hat and stand with his classmates, I have to wonder, if planning a graduation for 50 six year olds requires this much planning and detail, how much detail goes into a high school graduation ceremony? I better start planning now!

My kiddos also had an entire week off from school the last week of April and the week they were home I tried to sit down, many, many times and blog, but somehow I always got interrupted. My favorite interruption was the one where my middle son came to inform me that my youngest son had pooped in the garage. My youngest son has been potty trained since October, mind you, but apparently he wanted to try out the garage instead!

Mom's Pearls of Wisdom

Sarah H. — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:00:46 +0000

This is 'take two' for me. I was almost finished typing my blog and my 2 year old pressed the power button on my laptop. Of course, I didn’t save it and I couldn’t find the recovery file! Never a dull moment around here!

The first call I made upon the erasing of my blog was one of desperation to my mother. She is my ‘go to’ girl for anything that I need advice about. What better person than one who has been through, and survived, three children? If one of my kids does something awful, I call her. If I need motivation to clean my house (or write my blog) I call her!
