Mother's Day is right around the corner...Hey Moms! Mother's Day is coming up soon and I know you'll be getting lots of presents from your kids... handmade crafts made at school, cards lovingly drawn with crayons and maybe a homemade breakfast or brunch.

To me, the most meaningful things we Moms can receive on our special day are those with "heart" in them... although a giftcard to your favorite store or spa would be a pretty nice addition!

Here's another idea that you can do with your kids or (hint-hint) your husband can organize-- it's fun, free and gives you some hilarious insight into how your kids "see" you.

Do you know what your guy is worried about? One of the fabrications in our culture that has always driven me bonkers is the myth that "real" men don't succumb to worry or stress. It's the idea that guys are somehow genetically engineered to shake off the rigors of everyday life-- that no guy should crack under pressure, fear or insecurity.

Never let 'em see you sweat.

We guys wish it were that easy. From an intellectual perspective, we all agree that this belief is silly. Unfortunately, the gut reaction to actually witnessing a man's will being broken is generally something less than empathetic. So once and for all, men DO have their own insecurities - just as many as women - and I've listed below a few of the most common concerns that men feel.

What Men Worry About

1. Making enough money. This one has mass awareness. But the depth of the anguish men feel when confronted with the possibility of not being an adequate bread-winner can be unimaginable. We've all

Keep your fights clean! Flipping through an old Cosmopolitan magazine the other day, I was drawn to the title of an article called "Bacon Sex." You might think it was the sex that drew me, but really it was the bacon. I am shamelessly addicted to bacon, and the thought of combining bacon with another thing I adore was intriguing.

The "Bacon" in this case referred to Kevin Bacon, the actor. And yes, I was disappointed when I realized that. Cosmo had asked him the secret to his long and lusty marriage. His answer was short, sweet, and dead-on: "Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty." It's worked for him and his wife Kyra Sedgwick for twenty three years, despite being under intense scrutiny by the media over the years.

Unfortunately, most people don't know how to fight cleanly. What is a clean fight, anyways? It's certainly not the way many couples fight. Here are five ways to keep your fights clean.

Spring Clean Your Home

1."Let Go of Clutter" with Baby Steps

Make room in your closets for your spring clothes by using my Stay-Maybe-Go system. Make 3 piles:

· Stay for the items you will keep.

· Maybe for the items you are undecided about and

· Go for donations, recycling or trash

Things that you find difficult to separate from go into the "Maybe" box. Seal it and date it. Before you open the "Maybe" box 6 months later, make a list of the things you missed. Open the box and whatever is not on the list then goes!

Throw a party on just $80!

Host 12 people for $80... that's less than $7 per person!

We've got a solution for those yearning for "good times" on a budget. Instead of dining out in a bar or restaurant and sharing appetizers and a big bill, bring the party home and ask guests to share their favorite "small plate" while you serve up cocktails.

Our modern twist on "Your Parents' Potluck" combines the spirit of potluck (everyone shares in the expense and effort) with a fun style of eating, "small plates".

Our Potluck Cocktail Party avoids the potential pitfall of a traditional potluck (a table of uncomplimentary entrees and sides that leave you feeling full, yet unsatisfied) by substituting "small plates" (dishes intended to be shared in small appetizer portions).

Although this party celebrates coming together to freely share and enjoy each other's creations, company and cocktails, there are a few criteria we suggest you

L'Oreal Sun protection is always in style. That's why sunscreen is an essential part of my beauty wardrobe! And when it's sizzling outside, I need to apply it again…and again and again. (And again. You get the picture.)

I used to believe that all sunscreens were created equal. I'd reach for the first one that caught my eye at the drugstore and call it a day. Oh, how I was wrong!

First, you've got your super thick formulas. They tend to clog up pores and take forever to absorb. Then you've got the ones that leave behind a white residue. And don't even get my started on the greasy ones! Bottom line: The wrong sunscreen can make you feel more beach bum than beach babe!

Ladies, I proudly introduce a collection that has the right stuff: L'Oreal Paris Sublime Sun ($9.99-$10.99). The sunscreens are infused with potent anti-oxidants (like white grape seed and vitamin e) that help fight free radicals while fending off those harmful rays. (Which, FYI, they
