Mother’s Day is approaching, and of course we’ll all be paying homage to the most important moms in our lives. But isn’t it about time someone thanked the fictional matriarchs who came into our homes through the years, making us cackle, cry and cringe at their outrageous motherly antics? We thought so. So, in honor of all the highly entertaining, insanely lovable mamas out there, Red Typewriter has compiled a list of the 10 coolest television moms of all time.

Runway from Alberta Ferretti (first two outfits), Marchesa, Chloe, Michael Costello and Tadashi Shoji.

Perhaps the most intriguing and bipolar of all fashion materials, lace is both innocent and in-your-face, both demure and demonstrative. A peek of it here, a whole lot of it there—no matter how much is used, it seduces with a coyness we somehow buy into. Designers have been all over these delicate fabrics this season, incorporating them into flowing dresses, breezy blouses and pants—even shoes, purses and gowns slit sky high. Patterns range from intricate webs to feminine florals, giving women more options than ever before to embrace the lace.

My pregnancy with our first child was nothing out of the ordinary, except that she kicked and moved a lot. When she was born, the nurse noticed her face looked blue and her cry was not robust, so they whisked her off to the NICU after I held her for a minute. She was in there for two days as they ran tests and determined that she had some fluid in her lungs. The next six months were a blur of bottles, diapers and a baby who slept perfectly through the night after the third week home. My husband and I felt incredibly blessed.

Things began to change after the sixth month. Our daughter began to change from a healthy, active baby to one who was extremely intense. … //READ MORE

Have you been angry with yourself because you know you should know better, yet you just can’t seem to escape the erratic charms of your supposed love—even though the lows with him are so awful? … //READ MORE
