Best Parenting Tweets: What Moms And Dads Said On Twitter This Week
It's always fun -- and a little bit scary -- to show off your former life as a non-parent to your children. Whether you're sharing school pictures or the wedding album, it's amazing to see what kids think of Mommy and Daddy before they were Mommy and Daddy. So what if one of piece of your history was appearing as the ultimate teen heroine in possibly the most classic 80s movie ever? Molly Ringwald answered that question for us this week when she tweeted, "Showing 'Pretty in Pink' to my nine year old for the first time. She's 'Team Duckie.'"
Clearly, we could stop right there and call our beloved brat-packer's statement the parenting tweet of the week, but many moms and dads were in top form on Twitter, thanks in part to Easter planning. Click through the gallery below to see our favorite quips and make sure to follow @HuffPostParents!

AT&T Has One Of The Best WiFi Hotspots You Can Buy (T)
Mobile hotspots are a great way to connect to the Internet on-the-go.
The tiny devices use a wireless carrier's network to connect at high speeds and then beam it your computer or other device through a WiFi signal.
I've been using Novatel's latest hotspot, the AT&T MiFi Liberate, for some time now and overall I've been pleased with the experience.
The Liberate has a long battery life (11 hours), easy-to-use touch screen, and a bunch of features that let me to know just how strong my connection is and how much data I have left on my plan.
Using the Liberate
While my MiFi did struggle a bit in New York, which is inundated with people and competing for wireless bandwidth, its awesome battery life trumped the temporary lags. The device pushed out fast speeds and a stable connection in Las Vegas and Washington, D.C.
While Novatel's addition of a touchscreen to the MiFi may seem unnecessary to some ,I saw it as a benefit because it was very easy to swipe through options like connection status, data usage, and screen brightness.
It was also super useful to have the WiFi password displayed on the screen so I never had to remember it. Besides the basics, the Liberate also features GPS, a messaging program, and media streaming that lets you beam videos, music, or photos from an SD card on the device to your laptop.
You can connect up to 10 devices at once.
Design
It is very easy to slip the Liberate in a bag or pocket thanks to its slim profile. The MiFi is made from a combination of plastic and glass. I will say that for the next version I hope Novatel uses more durable glass.
The battery rests in the circular area at the top of the device and it is removable. It charges using a standard Micro USB port. The device took a while to charge up but once it was full, it lasted several hours with life to spare.
Conclusion
If you're in the market for a mobile hotspot and are stuck between a few choices, I strongly urge you to consider the Liberate. Its long battery life and LTE connection definitely make it stand out from the rest.
The MiFi Liberate is available through AT&T for $49.99 with a two year contract.

Best Steakhouses In The U.S.
Regulars don't need a menu at Peter Luger, the Michelin-starred chophouse in Brooklyn, where not much has changed since 1887--except the newly hip neighborhood.
While the constancy of that dry-aged porterhouse and old-school vibe is comforting, the past decade has ushered in an equally worthy breed of steakhouses that are more stylish in the dining room and more inventive in the kitchen.
