Mother's Day

Being a mother is hard work, but there are just some places where it’s easier than others.

It was a beautiful sunny day in May of 1996, Mother's Day 1996 to be exact, when the whole family gathered to salute my mom. We were standing outside, getting ready to hop into a couple of cars for trip to her favorite restaurant for Mother's Day dinner when I handed her a card and a cassette tape.

Is it easier to find a gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day?

Oh, moms. A generation of "digital immigrants," our moms have a real love/hate relationship with technology. While most moms we know love their iPads/Kindles/iPhones/weird off-brand tablets, they also seem to have a very hard time figuring them out, and have a tendency to get overwhelmed by tech problems.

Madrid Zoo just welcomed a cute new arrival, a shy new Asian elephant calf. He is one of just 260 Asian elephants in Europe. For some reason he wanted nothing to do with the crowd who came out to see him.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, we thought it might be a good time for some reflection. Our moms can be pretty annoying sometimes, what with all the calling and emailing, but it's only because they care. Unfortunately, not all moms have a warm, motherly heart; here's our list of 10 Mothers Only a Son Could Love, some fictional, and some terrible, horribly real...

Mother's Day is May 12th.  Need some gift ideas?  Here's what moms don't want for Mother's Day this year.

So, you think you know what to get for Mother’s Day? Think again.

Ever wonder what an action sci-fi movie like 'The Matrix' looks like to your mom?

If they ever have a contest to find the world's best son, we've got a clear frontrunner.

I have a 19 year old son who sometimes clashes with his step-mom. They used to get along, but my wife has made it pretty clear to him what she wants and doesn't want around the house. Often my role as dad has me caught in the middle. I'm pretty sure he doesn’t want to get his step-mom anything for Mother’s Day. I don't think she expects anything from him, but I do...am I right or wrong?

Macaroni art is as much a part of Mother's Day as brunch and sentimental cards featuring sunrises.
