10 Celebrity Moms We Wish We Had

Danny Gallagher — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:26:47 +0000

We would never trade our mothers for any other person in the world. That’s because we love them to death, owe them big time for all the love and attention they gave us as children, and would not have become the people we are today without their care and dedication. That’s also because the laws of time, space and physics don’t allow such a thing to be done.

Of course, if such a thing could be done, we would have a hard time choosing a mother to replace the one we’ve got. The bar would have to be set pretty high just to weed out the potential candidates. These awesome celeb moms would certainly pass that bar, but not by much.

When Is The Minnesota Fishing Opener? Perhaps A Week Early This Year

David Drew — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 06:42:05 +0000

This amendment would only impact this year. It is now in the hands of Governor Mark Dayton to sign. Proponents of the bill say that it avoids a Mother's Day conflict with the Minnesota opener and it takes advantage of the warmer weather the state has experienced lately. Opposition comes primarily from resort owners who say this short notice is causing them stress in preparation and meeting customers needs.

What do you think? Do you support having the Minnesota opener moved up a week this year or do think the state should leave things as they are?

History History of Mother's Day

David Drew — Thu, 05 May 2011 23:20:10 +0000

As Mother's Day approaches, I thought it would be fun to look at part of the history of the day. Much to my surprise, Hallmark didn't invent it!

The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and goes back to the times of ancient Greeks, who held festivities to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods. The early Christians celebrated the Mother's festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. Interestingly, later on a religious order stretched the holiday to include all mothers, and named it as the Mothering Sunday. The English colonists settled in America discontinued the tradition of Mothering Sunday because of lack of time. In 1872 Julia Ward Howe organized a day for mothers dedicated to peace. It is a landmark in the history of Mother's Day.
