It’s Mother’s Day, the day that we honor and thank the wonderful women who brought us up and counseled us on everything from fashion to friends to feelings. At times, their advice was sage and other times, not so much. But we’ve been lucky, because when the advice from Mom was maybe not quite on point, we’ve had a whole bevy of other moms to turn to…right on our televisions. So as we celebrate our real moms, let us also recognize the words of wisdom provided to us by moms on TV.

Jenna used to be known as 2NOTBrokeGirls, but then one of the girls actually went broke, so she's struck out on her own. Jenna spends her free time saving the world, one sorority girl at a time (usually while wearing yoga pants), questioning why she decided to get a doctorate, and documenting her love of all things cheese related. You can ask her anything you want about football, using your boobs to get what you want, and pizza at @JennaLCrowley on Twitter or via email at JennaLCrowley@gmail.com.
