11 Things To Do With Your Mom

Although Mother's Day is a great time to try some of these things out, our moms deserve more than just one day of the year where we make them feel special. There are so many more things to do with your mom on Mother's day or any other day other than brunch.

1. Go on a weekend getaway

Whether it's just to a cute city in the state you live in or a little bit further away, take the weekend to yourselves and find a cozy Airbnb to spend some quality time together!

2. Thrift the day away

If your mom loves to shop, take her thrifting and spend the day searching through all of the items and finding hidden gems.

3. Do some yoga together

Make it a day of relaxation and get your chakras aligned with some yoga that will leave you both feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

4. Take a hike

If your mom loves the outdoors, go on a hike somewhere you've never been and enjoy the time together while you break a sweat and admire nature.

5. Have a game night

If your mom's anything like mine, she loves a good game of "Trouble". Break out your favorite board games and compete to no end! You'd be surprised how fun a game of "Candy Land" can be after years of not touching the box.

6. Have a pizza party

When dinner time comes around, break out all the goods and make your own pizzas! Start with the dough and then set up an array of toppings to personalize your own pizzas.

7. Plan a picnic

Instead of just sitting inside and making some lunch, put together a nice little advantage and soak up some vitamin D while enjoying your food in a nice park or a relaxing beach.

8. Take a cooking class

Try out something new and sign up for a class instead of making a recipe you already know by heart! It can be a competition to see if you or your mom is truly the better chef.

9. Take a trip down memory lane with some old photo albums

If your mom has photos from when she was younger, they will definitely be worth seeing. If those don't exist in your household, then it's always a good time making fun of your awkward stage too.

10. Host a party for her and her friends

You've probably noticed that your mom spends most of her time by herself or with your family, so plan a little something for her and her closest friends so for once she doesn't have to worry about making sure everyone else is okay.

11. See a Broadway show

Hit the town and see a live show to spice up the evening! You can even dress according to the show you're seeing to make it more fun.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
