Dear Nuts:

Constant criticism is never fun, especially when one is a functioning and capable adult. We’re all walking in different shoes but there is no doubt you want (and deserve) to feel respected and your opinions and choices to be taken seriously. Even if the critiques come from a place of love, that doesn’t mean they are healthy. So what does one get an “Almond Mom” for Mother’s Day? Sign her up for a “Nuts of the Month Club” subscription. Not only is it a healthy snack, it’s also a salty treat all year long — just like her! It may go over her head but the feast of private laughter you will enjoy will be DELICIOUS! Cheers!
