Teen Drama Links for May 10, 2022

Happy (belated) Mother’s Day!

My mom and I have spent most Mother’s Days apart over the last decade, but we were fortunate enough to be together last year and again this year. To celebrate this time around, we spent the weekend at one of my favorite destinations, the O.Henry Hotel. It was her first time there and it brought me so much joy to share with her a place that I love so much.

For Mother’s Day last year, I put together this look at the teen drama moms. The more I think about it, the more I don’t think I have a favorite matriarch. Maybe you do? Take a look at my list — and similar listicles below — and drop your pick in the comments.
