10 Reasons Why Dog Moms Should Get Mother's Day Gifts

Moms of the world were celebrated on Mother's Day this year. Fur moms so often get overlooked. I personally think that my sweet pup Ellie is just as much my baby as I'm her mommy. All these and more are reasons why I deserved my new purse and adult coloring book. At least that's what I'll tell myself.

Don't judge me.

1. These precious balls of fluff need our love and protection.

Protect this floof at ALL costs.

2. Middle of the night potty cries are common wake up calls for us too.


"I'm glad you think this is cute mom but for real, I have to PEE."

3. We want our babies to be the smartest of their peers too.


Don't tell me this doesn't impress you. If you do, I'll know you're a liar.

4. We're softies to their pout faces.

I WILL BUY ALL THE LEMONADE YOUR PAWS CAN MAKE

5. Two words: Potty. Training.

Color me severely impressed. I can't even get my dog to understand that her poop is not a toy.. Sigh.

6. Snuggles are the best part of our day.

7. We doubt our parenting decisions.

Ow. So many doubts. Where did she go wrong and how can I make sure I get no where near that?

8. Judgement from the world is real.

"Oh you give your dog THOSE treats? Hmm. Well that's not how I raised my sweet fluffy."

Well, maybe that's why your fluffy secretly hates you!

*We all do it, let's not kid ourselves.*

9. Raising them can be the most frustrating yet amazingly hilarious work at the same time

THE SHAME.

10. But the excitement when our babies see us makes it unquestionably worth it.


*Just a quick disclaimer before the mommies of the internet grab their diaper bags and light their pitchforks. I in no way think that being a dog mom is anywhere near as difficult as being pregnant with, birthing and raising a real live human child. I think that Mother's Day can celebrate any woman who loves, protects, and cares for someone (human or otherwise) more or as often as themselves. My life changed when I got my sweet Ellie. (See My Dog Saved My Life to see her) and I just feel like my dog is my baby. Also, any excuse I have to give my husband to get me that new adult coloring book I want, I’ll take it. Moms of the internet, dog, cat, and otherwise, Happy Mother's Day!*

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
