The best advice from New Jersey moms

Mother's Day is May 14. It's a time when families will be gathered around the table be it at home or a restaurant, perhaps brunch and celebrating mom. Lots of memories will be shared of the advice she gave you which you may now be passing along to your children or simply harkening back in your mind to the days she gave you the many tips to get you through life.

What sets Jersey Moms apart from the rest is their attitude. Jersey Moms started off as Jersey girls and if you're a "Jersey Guy," you know not to mess with them. Just keep your mouth shut and do what they say and not as they do. Which is one of the main things my mother used to say to me. Here are some other bits of advice from moms on my social media.
