Craig Matthews — Sun, 12 May 2013 16:20:42 +0000

A very Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom. I KNOW she is looking down from heaven waiting for her special message I have sent to her every Mother’s Day since 1976. Every year, on the second Sunday of May, she could expect her son to play Jimmy Dean’s Mother’s Day tribute, “I.O.U.”, and dedicate it [...]

With Mother's Day just a few days away, it's nice to hear how stars interact with their moms.

Mother's Day Turns 99 This Year

Dale Mussen — Thu, 09 May 2013 09:57:09 +0000

Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday. In this country it’s always observed on the second Sunday in May. It was back in the late 1800s when Julia Ward Howe came up with the idea for what she called a “Mother’s Day for Peace” in honor of all mothers. It was mostly a regional thing. Some parts of the country and some states began to adopt it, but it wasn’t until 1908 when Anna Jarvis of Grafton, West Virginia started campaigning to make Mother’s Day a nationally recognized observance.

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. Thatâ€™s where you come in: If you [...]

No Anderson Cooper. Lets see what he has to say about North America's largest Dyngus Day Party here in Buffalo this year. It continues to grow bigger and bigger. I'm 100 percent German, but, I'm sure like many, I find a way to be Polish on Dyngus Day (and I think I did the hokey pokey like 12 times yesterday, haha).
