Moms are great. They love you, they gave birth to you and they want to hear from you. So give them a call, use this list to help compile some ideas you two can talk about.
1. Ask her to help you with a problem

2. Ask about family

3. Tell her some good news

4. Tell her about your day

5. Plan time to see her

6. Tell her about something new

7. Ask her about her time when she was your age

8. Ask for some advice

9. Tell her you love her

And while you're at it, call your dad too.
