I need to just say sorry now...

11 Things My Future Kids Will Have To Put Up With
Hughston May

Sorry kids, but I am going to be a pretty ridiculous mom. I'm clumsy, I get stressed about really little things, and I embarrass the heck out of myself. You'll probably survive if you're willing to put up with these 11 things.

1. Having super uncommon names

You’ll thank me, Indigo, after you get past people you’ve known for years misspelling it every SINGLE time. Seriously how does that still happen, you’re talking to me on Facebook it’s RIGHT THERE.

2. Making up songs in public

3. Wearing their clothes

Um, hi, yes I paid for all of these so I can do what I want.

4. Being overly friendly with my daughter’s guy friends

I’m a great wing-mom.

5. Being late

Look, your mom tries to juggle a lot at a time and the world won’t end because we left 3 minutes before you should have been at band practice. If you get in trouble you can be SURE your teacher will feel my wrath.

6. Grabbing an intense amount of napkins at restaurants

I will never stop doing this. Kids are dirty and kids are sticky and their nasty hands will not touch me.

7. Forcing them to eat strange foods I like

If I say it’s good then it’s good. Maybe we’ll all be vegan this week, who knows? But you're eating it either way.

8. Always dressing up for Halloween

I don’t care what you think, moms can dress up for Halloween until they turn into actual skeletons. Your mom’s gonna be Beyoncé and you can deal.

9. Getting way too excited when they start dating someone

Unless it’s that kid Ben - you stay AWAY from him or I will homeschool you.

10. Having their old things thrown away

Hope you're not too attached to your 3rd grade field day trophy because it’s going in the trash. I promise you won’t care when you’re 20 or even the next year. An empty house is a clean house.

11. Having lots of pets

I am keeping every dog I see. I don’t care if it’s ugly, I don’t care if it has a third eye, it’s mine and we are going to love it.

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.

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.
