Questions For Our Mothers: Emily’s Mom

Emily PosterMay 7, 2010 //

In honor of Mother’s Day, we’re interviewing our moms to find out how their lives changed when we were born and what they learned about love and life as a parent. Today, Emily’s mom.

I am not one for words, which is why I am a designer at The Frisky, not an editor, but my mom is one of the most amazing people in my life. After constantly fighting with her throughout my teenage years, my mom and I have become best friends (finally!). I talk to her just about every night and I don’t know what I would do without her and her words of wisdom. I know a lot about my mom, but not that much about what it was like for her when she had me — besides the fact that she got gestational diabetes and it stuck! — so it was really interesting to learn what her life was like before me!

Emily’s Style Diary: Week In Review

What I’m Wearing Today:

  • American Apparel gray T-shirt
  • Floreat polka dot skirt
  • Eloise tulle slip
  • black tights
  • brown heels from Urban Outfitters

I don’t think I would normally wear this outfit on a usual work-from-home day. As much as I love the tulle slip it drives me nuts after a while because it never lays flat. But besides that, I love this skirt! I mean, what is more fun than big polka dots paired with yellow tulle? Nothing!

The Frisky Guidebook: The Twin Cities

Emily PosterAugust 1, 2008 //

The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota may not be the first place you’d consider to vacay — after all, isn’t the cold basically unbearable for most of the year? Yes — but you know what they say about people who are forced to hibernate inside for nine months out of the year — when the sunshine finally starts to melt the snow off the trees, they come out to play and party with the best of them. That’s why the end of August is one of the best times to visit and coincidentally it’s also the time of year when the Minnesota State Fair is in full effect. Because who doesn’t love a pickle on a stick, don’t cha know?
