Oh, Mother! Written by co-founder, Mireille.

Our dear mothers. They brought us into the world and we love them for it. They drove us to school when we were late, took care of us when we were sick, and threw us the most wonderful birthday parties.

And then we grew up. Became women just like them, a competitor in the female arena. We have our own set of dreams, and goals, and plans just like they had, like they have.

Now that we too are adults, it feels like our mothers' criticisms and little comments have become more of an attack. A clever way of bringing us down, drowning us in their condescending river of motherly love. They mean well but often times it comes out wrong and we take it that way.



And with the holidays approaching we will all have to face our moms and their hurtful jokes and snide comments. But we will also be the very willing victims of a thousand hugs and kisses and true unconditional love.

She means well. You know she does. So that it with a grain of salt, and tell her you love her damn it!
