I'm basically the soccer mom of the Millennials.

My mom is awesome. She's strong and not afraid to speak her mind. I've inherited both of those traits from her. I have also inherited the "mom" gene. This doesn't mean I'm baby crazy or anything like that. No, the "mom" gene is the gene that makes you "mom" everyone. You may not even know you're doing it until your friends say "Thanks, Mom." Being the "Mom" of your friend group isn't about the big gestures it's about the little things you do and say.


1. I'll make/bring food

2. Did you get your homework done?

I just don't feel right asking you to go get food if you don't have it done. School first.

3. You don't feel like you have a fever

Being the mom friend basically, means you're a doctor. Need Advil? Got it! Need allergy meds? No worries! Need Gatorade? I have that too.

4. You might want a jacket.

5. Good luck today!

6. I have that!

This could refer to the 10 million things I keep in my Mary Poppins bag. Bobbi pins, Band-aids, a stapler, or anything else you may need.

7. We can take my car.

To make my mom status even more awesome, I should tell you I drive a mini-van.

8. You probably shouldn't jump off of that.

9. Have you eaten today?

That's probably why you're grouchy.

10. What do you mean you don't have insurance?

11. Well, what time did you go to bed?

You wouldn't be tired if you went to bed before 3 AM.

12. Take a nap. You'll feel better.

13. Don't forget your keys!

They're on the kitchen table.

14. Do you actually need that?

I'm just trying to keep you from spending money we both know you don't have.

15. Because I said so.

16. Stop.

17. What's wrong?

We mom's are the best listeners.

18. Don't touch that.

19. Don't talk with your mouth full.

Maybe the most mom thing we say.

20. How was practice?

21. Yes, you can use my ironing board.

I also have interview questions, because let's be honest that's the only reason you're ironing your clothes.

22. I'm going to the store, do you need anything?

To be clear, by store, I mean Target.

23. Don't talk to strangers.

24. I can sew that button back on.

Just let me grab my needles and thread.

25. How are you and *whoever you're talking to?

26. Yes, I have food.

Yes, always. Chances are if by some craziness I don't, I'll make some.

27. Drive safe! Let me know when you get there!

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.

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.
