Mother's Day: Favorite Mom Memories



My favorite thing to do with my mom is go to concerts. We used to go all the time to this small venue in La Crosse, Wisconsin to see one of her favorite bands, Just Surrender. They knew both me and her and always made her feel welcome. I miss those days. We don't get to go to concerts much anymore, but I still enjoy spending time with her, no matter what we're doing. -Kate R. 

My favorite thing to do with mom is play games! -Bodie R.

 If i am 100% honest, my favorite memory is all of them. My mother is ny favorite person in the world -Gina D. 

My mom passed away right after I turned 4. I made mother's day cards for my dad, since he raised me. I also grew up with step moms and made sure to make or give them a card or gift as well. I was once blessed with a wonderful mother in law. I was the daughter she didn't have and she was the mom I had always hoped for growing up. Lots of wonderful memories of spending time together watching movies, doing crafts, shopping, cooking and eating together, and just living life.💓

I love that she is always there for me, no matter what she is going through. She is amazing in everyway!! -Sandy A. 

 My mom is awesome and we are going to Duluth for our mother daughter trip -Lori M.
I just love spending time with my mom. I love going for rides with her. -Heather K.

 My favorite memory isn’t with my mom but my grandma! And she was amazing. But her teaching me anything and everything is my favorite memories! -Charity L.

My favourite would be the way it makes me feel, when I am with her or talk to her. She is my ultimate go to for everything...when i am happy or sad, afraid or in pain, ill or on vacay...sharing things with her makes them more real and easy. Even her scolding me feels nice (not at that time exactly 🤣🤣) but I just know someone is looking after me. If i could be even 1% as talented and intelligent like her...i would be so proud of me as I am of her. I couldn't imagine my life without her. [Now all I want to do is go and hug her]. I love my mom and everything about her 💛💛 -Twinkle V.


The woman I considered my mother died almost a year ago. She is my aunt but was more of a mother than my real one. We used to sit in her room and color. We always did the big fuzzy posters. We could talk and talk and talk. I miss her. I have not been able to color since. Just not the same.

Drug Use in High School and College

Image
Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family memories and history.
