First, let me start out by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Yes, today is Mother's Day, but it's also another day for celebration--it's Frog Jumping Day. As I write this, I think what a fitting holiday for the one and only Big Frog 104. Now, I couldn't find much on how to properly celebrate this holiday, so, I say, celebrate by listening to the Best and Most Country Big Frog 104!

There are dozens (if not hundreds) of country songs about moms, and many country singers are even mothers themselves.

We would never trade our mothers for any other person in the world. That’s because we love them to death, owe them big time for all the love and attention they gave us as children, and would not have become the people we are today without their care and dedication. That’s also because the laws of time, space and physics don’t allow such a thing to be done.
Of course, if such a thing could be done, we would have a hard time choosing a mother to replace the one we’ve got. The bar would have to be set pretty high just to weed out the potential candidates. These awesome celeb moms would certainly pass that bar, but not by much.

5 days ago
Today is Limerick Day. Yes, a day to celebrate the form of poetry with a very distinct rhyming scheme. A limerick follows this pattern: AABBA. Meaning, the last words of lines one, two and five have to rhyme and the last words in lines three and four have to rhyme. So, to test out my poetry skills, I have decided to celebrate today by writing a limerick about Utica.
