In honor of Mother’s Day (coming up on Sunday, May 10, btw), we asked our Instagram followers and staff members to send in the best advice they got from their moms.

We got answers on all topics ranging from cooking to beauty to family and more. And now we’re celebrating moms everywhere by sharing this treasure trove of life wisdom with you.

We think you’ll hear your mom’s voice in your head as you read through our list. We know we did!

Family

1.  Things can wait – don’t stress. Enjoy spending time with the little ones – they grow up too quickly.

2.  My mom did lots of prep before Yom Tov, so once we came to stay, she was readily available to enjoy us.

3.  Shower them with kindness.

4.  Always stay close to family.

5.  Always make your home a heartwarming and comforting place for your family.

6.  Make your guests feel welcome and comfortable.

Cooking
