A bit of patience is required here but you should watch the entire clip (about 3 minutes total) as the reward — an adorable, fuzzy reconciliation between mother and her charges — justifies it! THIS IS HOW YOU PARENT!

10 Fictional Moms From TV

LesSavyTrav — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:04:48 +0000

Moms are a t.v. staple but they take many forms. Some are traditional (sweet, tender, caring, etc.), others a bit more unconventional (sarcastic, gruff, animated, etc.), but what binds all of them is a matriarch’s love for her family. In honor of Mother’s Day (cue the gentle reminder: this Sunday), we’ve assembled a gallery of our 10 favorite television mothers and included YouTube clips that capture them in their element.

1. Peggy Bundy, “Married With Children”

2. Wilma Flintstone, “The Jetsons”

3. Roseanne Conner, “Rosanne”

4. Clair Huxtable, “The Cosby Show”

5. Marge Simpson, “The Simpsons”

6. Carol Brady, “The Brady Brunch”

7. Morticia Adams, “The Addams Family”

8. Carmela Soprano, “The Sopranos” (Warning: spicy, NSFW content and language.)

9. Sophia Petrillo, “The Golden Girls”

10. June Cleaver, “Leave it to Beaver”

10 Life Lessons Learned From Animal Moms (As Told With YouTube Videos)

LesSavyTrav — Thu, 09 May 2013 04:34:59 +0000

We’ve been celebrating Mother’s Day all week here at From Hop To Pop. Tuesday’s post, a gallery of Mom tattoos, tackled a decidedly human phenomena, but today we’re digging into the animal kingdom for inspiration. Posted below, then, are 10 life lessons that we’ve gleaned from doting animal moms (both biological and surrogate), as told with YouTube videos.

1. Sharing is caring. Take the cat in the video below, who nurses an orphaned bunny along with her litter. A-DORBS.

2. Ask for help when you need it. In this next clip, an elephant gives her baby a much-needed push at a time of need.

[YouTube]

3. Keep up appearances. Daily grooming sessions are a great way to bond, as demonstrated by this tigress and her cub. (I can’t stop marveling at her tongue, it’s HUGE.)

[YouTube]

4. Shower children with affection. And they in turn will learn to love.

[YouTube]

5. Be yourself, stand tall. Take this pug, for instance. She’s fab, fearless, and accessorized with a pink umbrella. She’s also pushing a pair of (plush) pugs in a stroller. On a sunny day. In Portland. MIND = OFFICIALLY BLOWN.

[YouTube]

6. Expect the unexpected. Roll with the punches, like this dog that adopted a panther cub.

[YouTube]

7. Practice makes perfect. You have to start small. Case in point: this otter and her pup’s introduction to swimming. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[YouTube]

8. Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on. Watch as a walrus cuddles her newborn calf.

[YouTube]

9. Embrace new experiences. A polar bear and her new cubs emerge from a 6-month hibernation, and epic cuteness ensues. Sigh…

[YouTube]

10. Everything is better is friends and family. Stay together and don’t let obstacles stand in your way!

Ink Runs Deeper Than Blood: 11 Mom Tattoos

LesSavyTrav — Wed, 08 May 2013 03:35:09 +0000

Mother’s Day is this Sunday — (editor’s note: cozy gift ideas here) — and to mark the moment we’ve compiled a gallery of 11 awesome “MOM” tattoos, as sourced from something we like to call the Internet. The results reveal an array of creative impulses and techniques but the designs all share one crucial element: LOVE.

1. Entwined with rope and roses (hey-o), Mom is presented here as the anchor, and the emotional rock.

2. ~~Nom Nom Nom~~ Mom Mom Mom

3. A cover of the New Yorker from 1993, as penned by Art Speigelman. Considered a tipping point in the tattoo’s long and winding acceptance into the mainstream.

4. NAILED IT!

5. Mom as the nurse, with the power to heal, protect, and safeguard.

6. Hearts on fire, a common element in tattoo design, repurposed here for Mom.

7. Streaked with color, mom takes the form here of a graceful robin.

8. Dagger laced through heart, with neon accents and a pencil-thin, Deco script.

9. The script is ambigram and the effect is oddly hypnotizing.
