It can be from any mom you know and the advice can be anything that has stayed with you. There are no wrong answers! We're looking for advice that is practical, life-changing, comforting, funny, or even something you hated at the time that turned out to be right.

Include the piece of advice, the first name of the mom, their relationship to you, and a short explanation about why you remember it or why she gave you that advice.
