Maren Morris Inspires Moms All Around

Maren’s “Bones” are good, the hair is good, the face of motherhood is good, all of it! It sure looks like it too, in her latest Instagram post. Maren Morris is inspiring mothers everywhere by saying, “look, we are not talking about getting ‘my body back,’ I’m never going to use the term again!” She goes on to say, “No one took it! I didn’t lose it like a set of keys. The pressure we put on mothers to snapback is insurmountable and troublesome.” Maren has proven over, and over again, that she is not afraid to fire back over social channels when users talk about her body. She is definitely proud, as she displays her post C-section photos on Instagram.

Carrie Underwood Loves Her Hubby, But How Much?

Carrie Underwood was reminded just how much she actually likes her husband Mike Fisher when they were forced to quarantine together. She says, “I’ll never forget. He just looked at me and said, ‘You know what, I really like you,’ and it was the sweetest thing.” She went on to say that, “couples can be in love, but when your schedules change and you have to be stuck with one another, it is kind of important to also ‘like’ each other.”

Garth Brooks Always Bows to the Queen

If you have ever seen the “Shallow” duo perform together on stage, then you know that Garth Brooks always bows to Trisha. Its kind of their thing. Garth jokingly says, “She makes me do it.” We all know that is not the case and, as a matter of fact, Trisha was a bit weirded out by it at first. He says that she used to bow back until he told her not to. Garth went on to say, “Naturally, I was just in awe of her talent and continue to be, so I take my hat off and bow.”

Hillary Scott Offers Up Some Advice

The Lady A singer, Hillary Scott talks about raising three daughters and says, “The best advice on raising these young ladies is not always saying you’re gorgeous, or you’re beautiful.” She says, “I comment on their talent more than anything. I teach them to be brave and strong, just as many times you tell them they’re beautiful, which you should.” Hillary wants to make sure she doesn’t leave that out, but to also focus on words that empower them inside and out. We could not have said it better ourselves.
