Sometimes life calls for a little extra sweetness and a little tough love too. That’s where Ninny Momma comes in — dishing out practical wisdom with a wink and a smile. She answers the serious, the silly, and everything in between.
A: If you’re squinting to read the signs, chances are they’re not writing in bold. Affection is clear, not a puzzle.
A: Let her walk. Don’t chase the bus that left you behind—stand on your corner, and better friends will stop for you.
A: Only if you’d like to be remembered as the coward who hid behind a keyboard. People deserve your honesty in person.
A: Pretend you’re teaching your little cousin. If they can understand, anyone can. Nerves turn to strength once you start.
A: “Practical” people invented spoons. Dreamers invented airplanes. Which do you want to be?
A: You fail forward. Exams aren’t tombstones, they’re signposts—showing where you need to plant more time.
A: Freedom is earned by trust. Show them you can carry small weights, and they’ll hand you heavier ones.
A: That’s their job. But when life hits hard, they’ll be the first to stand beside you.
A: Houses full of silence are colder than houses full of noise. Arguing means people still care enough to speak.
A: If you’ve learned from it, it’s no longer a mistake—it’s a lesson, and you’ve already paid the tuition.
A: Count your blessings, not the minutes. Gratitude stretches time.
A: Anger is fire—use it to cook supper, not burn down the kitchen.
A: Labels don’t make you shine—your confidence does. The glow of self-respect is never out of season.
A: Knock on ten doors. Nine may close, but the tenth is the one you were meant to walk through.
A: Filters can’t hide empty hearts. The prettiest face is wasted without kindness behind it.
A: That’s because you’re not supposed to. Some people are lanterns—you’re meant to light paths, not follow crowds.
A: If you need a red cup to fit in, you’re in the wrong room. Find a table where water’s enough.
A: You can’t. But you can outlive them. Rumors die; character endures.
A: Put your phone to bed before you. If it’s asleep, you’ll rest too.
A: Move your body like it’s a car. You don’t have to race it, but you do have to keep it running.
A: Broken hearts don’t heal back the same—they grow tougher. You’ll love again, and wiser.
A: Loneliness is a signal, not a sentence. Use it to build yourself, and the right company will come looking.
A: Honey, if you waited this long to ask, someone else already ate it.
A: Only if your thumbs are training for the Olympics.
A: Give up. Wear your husband’s socks, that’s what I do.
