Mom's are the best, aren't they?

They are up at the crack of dawn doing loads of laundry, cleaning the dirty dishes, and sweeping the messy floors!

Many of us don't even know how to begin to thank our moms for all they have done. I mean, they have given us the beauty of life, right?

When we want to thank our moms in some way, some of us go off and blow our budget to try and show appreciation for our mother.

But that doesn't have to be the case!

At least, not with me.

I have gathered 5 ways to honor your mom for all she has done for absolutely FREE!

FREE?

Yes, free! No cost at all.

Here we go.


1. Bring her a home-cooked meal in bed. This can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

That one morning she takes a little extra time to sleep in, surprise her with her favorite breakfast! Or let her know she doesn't have to cook dinner and instead tell her to go to bed, then bring her in a meal on a tray. And while you're at it... make me one too!


2. Do her laundry for a change. I mean, she has been doing yours for years... How about returning the favor for the day?

Those dirty socks of yours that she is always cleaning and bleaching that shirt over and over. How about you switch roles for the day? Let her take a break!


3. Give her a massage. She is your MOM! She has to put up with YOU all the time.

I don't know many people that would turn down a massage. So why not? Next time you see your mom either at hard work or just chilling around the house. Tell her to lay down and relax, then go grab the lotion and have at it. I am sure she has several knots on her back that you can help get out!


4. Wash and clean out her car. freshly vacuumed carpets. She will definitely appreciate that one!

Your mom is so busy trying to take care of you that she barely makes enough time for herself. Treat her with a nice new scrub to her car and freshly vacuumed carpets. Next time she gets inside her car it will smell so nice, she won't have anything to do but breathe in, then smile, and thank you later!


5. Write her a letter.

Write how much she means to you and how much you appreciate her. Remind her of what she has done for you and how you wouldn't be here without her. This one is the best because it is personal and can be saved forever to look back on.

But, no matter what you decide to do for your mom, I am sure she will love it!

After all, she loves you!

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
