I’m a lucky gal. I am very close with my mom and feel comfortable opening up to her with just about everything under the sun. But there are still a few things that I never, ever, ever, evvvvver want my mom to know about me, mostly because I really don’t want to see or deal with her […]
Planning a wedding sounds like one of the most stressful undertakings imaginable. So, the idea of planning a wedding only to have it canceled last minute seems not only emotionally devastating, but also a giant waste of effort. Faced with this mix of emotional disappointment and logistical bullshit, one bride turned her cancelled reception into a party for underprivileged kids. […]
My mom’s a middle school English teacher and over the past, oh, 25 years or so, she has taught thousands of kids. Her reputation precedes her too.

We were thinking over here at The Frisky: No one gives better advice than a mom (well, 90 percent of the time). Meet the experts ¦ we mean our mothers. Amelia’s mom Cheryl is an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor and oil painter/multimedia artist. She’s practical, but has an adventurous and idealistic spirit, so […]
We all love our mothers, and there isn’t anything that’s more satisfying than seeing the warm smile on their faces when we hand them over a gift on Mother’s Day.
