22 Things I Learned From My Mom

Rosie Plunkett has taught me plenty in 22 years of motherhood. Happy Mother's Day, Ro! XOXO

1. Have a sense of humor.

Red's a good color on her.

2. Always be willing to go on an adventure.

Especially if it involves shoot-outs or flashing the Amish.

3. Never underestimate the importance of a daily cocktail.

4. Emojis are a fun and effective method of communication.

5. "Bitch" is a term of endearment.

"Love you, bit."

6. You're never too old to snuggle.

7. Take no shit.

8. The Bachelor is quality entertainment.

And should always be watched without your bra on.

9. Be a bargain shopper.

10. Dedicate your life to your passion.

11. Get in your pajamas before 5PM.

It's liberating AND comfy!

12. Start every morning with coffee.

Duh.

13. Order your martini with blue cheese olives.

And eat them.

14. Puppy breath is the best smell.

It's an amazing stress reliever.

15. Share!

16. Sing in the car.

ESPECIALLY if it's the Mama Mia Soundtrack.

17. Welcome others into your home.

18. Choose a life partner who is also your best friend.

19. Midnight snacks are required to be delicious.

None of that healthy shit past 9:00PM.

20. Dance.

It's better when you make up your own choreography.

21. Resilence.

What may seem bleak could turn out to be a source of strength.

22. Say I love you every day.

And mean it.
