Never praise your Cider, Horse, or Bedfellow

Benjamin Franklin

I am proud of my kids, but I also want to make my mom proud of me. I'm still a momma's girl at the heart of the situation.

Tori Spelling

When I grew up we had gym at school, two or three dance classes after school, ice skating lessons, and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist, so being active was all we knew.
