Things You Know To Be True If You're The Mom Friend In A Mostly Male Group

The world is a big place, especially when you're 4'11.5". When all of your friends are extremely tall males you feel even shorter, but you also feel super relaxed because those are your boys. I might be small but I'm the mom of my group of male friends and here are a few things I learned from being the tiny boss of them.

1) They literally call you mom and will proceed to say "sorry mom" when you tell them not to do something.

2) Those are your boys and you are beyond protective of them, you will always go to bat for them.

3) You are the mom friend and because of that you constantly try to be the wingman, and threaten to fight any girl that hurts your boys.

4) You yell at them to wear jackets and put hoods on when it's pouring rain (@Dustin)

5) You put your arms in front of them when you stop short in cars just to be safe.

6) You've gotten to the point you yell the wrong names at them.

7) You love them fiercely and take care of them when they need it no matter what time of day.

8) You've put them to bed and literally tucked them in after a long night. Your phone volume is always all the way up even when you go to bed. Just in case they need you.

9) You literally take naps with them and cuddle with them like it's nothing. They literally fall asleep on your lap.

10) No matter what ,they're your family and you would never give up being the tiny mom for anything.


This ones for you loves. I love you and I will continue to be a pain in your ass because I worry like crazy and because I'm just naturally mom like. So stay smiling my beautiful boys.

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.
