It doesn’t matter what the subject —fashion, beauty, healthy living, relationships, anything! As you know, my mom is one of my best friends, and I just wouldn't be where I am without her (love you Mommy!). So shout out your mom (by commenting below) and let the rest of us know how great she is. Check back every now and then, we’re going to compile the best stuff mama says right here.

So my best friend told me my biggest fear is weakness. She's right. I hate crying and I rarely admit to missing people. I recently moved out on my own.

I recently moved out on my own. I'm 19 and I now live six hours away from my mama. I was coming home to visit after about a month and didn't realize how much I missed my mom. I surprised her and came home early and walked in, sat on her lap and just cried because I missed her so much. My ma is my best friend. I love you Marmie!

She had me at such a young age and im so proud of her by going so far without anyone to help her. I love my mother so much and i wish I could make up for all the times i have ever made her feel upset. My mom has always told me that we will try our hardest to never go to bed mad at eachother because we don't know what tomorow will bring us.

So I rush home all scared that I lost contact with ALL my friends......and it turns out she had just clicked the button to hide it. BAHAHAHAHA. I still make fun of her for that. All I have to say is 'Sarah, how much do you love your mother?' and we both crack up! I love my mom. She's my best friend :-D

I was over at a friend's house for a sleepover and I had the computer set up at my house so that it automatically signed me in to msn. But like I said, my mom was new with computer stuff, and she was nervous to like press the wrong button and make it spontaneously combust, lol. But anyways, my mom goes on the computer, and it automatically signs into my msn. All of a sudden, I get a phone call from my mom saying 'Sarah, how much do you love your mother?' I said 'What did you do?' *continued*

We were fairly close when i was young but when i became a teenager we didn't get along, it took us 3 years before we talked everything out, and now we have a relationship building stronger as the days go by =). I must say i truly LOVE my mom even when she breaks out and does the running man even the cabbage patch dance LOL ! and tells my friends she needs to be "down" with Facebook..oh gosh lol.
