Every time I play Kenny Chesney’s Big Star for you, I’m reminded of this great collaboration of the song with Taylor Swift (from Nashville last year)!

I find myself daydreaming about a Dairy Queen blizzard throughout the day – what about you?

We all have our favorite meals from Mom, but what about the worst?

Something you hated each time she made it, and she never stopped, no matter how much you begged?

For me, that was SPAM.  Jelly on top and all!

We’re trying to put together a list of the best mother-isms you heard from your mom, or maybe you said it to your kids … share with us here!


* Just wait until your father gets home!

* Two wrongs don’t make a right, but two Wrights made an airplane!

* Do you want me to give you a reason for those tears?

* Kid:  ”Mom, where ‘ya going?”  Mom:  ”Crazy, want to come along?”

I just found a fun suggestion to make this Saturday’s celebrations even better: Corona popsicles!

Pour the Mexican beer into a popsicle mold, add a little lime juice and let the freezer do the rest!
