In This Article:

Moms are great. They love you, they gave birth to you and they want to hear from you. So give them a call, use this list to help compile some ideas you two can talk about.

1. Ask her to help you with a problem

Even something small! Moms are so good at knowing things, and she will be touched you thought to ask her.

2. Ask about family

Ask her about your aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents! Anyone you don't speak to regularly but, could check up with through your mom. It will also make your extended family glad you asked about them.

3. Tell her some good news

Did you get a good grade? Meet someone new? Get an offer at work? Tell her! Even if it's as small as a compliment someone gave you, let her know. She wants to celebrate you.

4. Tell her about your day

I am sure she wants to know! Even if you did nothing, give her a quick ring and let her know about that nothingness. Give her a chance to tell you about her day too - that call is sure to be the highlight of it.

5. Plan time to see her

Ask her to come visit you, or just plan a FaceTime night. She will be so excited to talk with you a little more, and you can see the rest of your family too.

6. Tell her about something new

Tell her about an article you read or a rumor you heard. If you tried a new restaurant you think she'd like, tell her that too! She can try them out as well, and offer her own opinions, and she'll be excited to have something else to share with you.

7. Ask her about her time when she was your age

This one may sound a little dumb but, if you're having an experience because of your age, ask her what she did! She's probably been through it, even if it's something you think is absurd. Moms have lived lives we have no clue about, so ask her to let you in.

8. Ask for some advice

What are you struggling with? She wants to help you. Let your mom in, and let her give you some comfort and advice. You'll both walk away from the conversation feeling better.

9. Tell her you love her

Do it!! Do it right now. It will mean the world to her.

And while you're at it, call your dad too.

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.
