In an interview with SheKnows, the Busy This Week host revealed her longtime friend and former Dawson's Creek co-star's wise words, saying, 'The best piece of parenting advice I ever received was actually from my best friend, Michelle Williams, that when you have to have a really uncomfortable conversation with your kids, do it in the car.'

'Because they're trapped and you're trapped, and you can also just focus on the road, and they don't have to look at you if they're embarrassed.'
Williams is a mom to 19-year-old Matilda with her late ex, Heath Ledger, as well as sharing three younger children with her now-husband, Thomas Kail.
Philipps, meanwhile, is a mom to 16-year-old daughter Birdie and 11-year-old daughter Cricket with her ex-husband Marc Silverstein. So it's safe to say that she's looking to Williams for help with parenting teens!
Philipps also opened up about some of the challenges of raising her daughters, saying, 'It's really hard. Just knowing and trusting that you've done the job that you needed to do, so that they are safe and make good choices, and if they don't that they feel like they can either come to you or somebody close.'
Philipps and Williams met in 2001 when Philipps was cast as Audrey Liddell in Dawson's Creek. Fans of the teen show will remember that Williams played Jen Lindley for all six seasons. The duo recently opened up about their first time meeting in a May 21 episode of Philipps' QVC+ show.
'My entire life I've always been like, misunderstood and prejudged by people,' Philipps said. 'And for whatever reason, you just instantly were like, 'I got you.''
'I loved you,' Williams added
'We just know each other and get each other in such a deep, fundamental way at this point,' Philipps told Page Six of their friendship in a March interview, adding that they've 'been there' for each other 'through so many different moments in each other's lives.'
'When you have a friend like that, you're blessed,' she told the outlet. 'That's all you can really ever hope for in this life.'Best of SheKnows

Drew Scott & Linda Phan's Adorable New Videos of Parker & Piper Give Fans an Intimate Glimpse Into Their Sweet Family Time
Family time is important for Drew Scott and Linda Phan. They just shared some of their sweetest summer memories with their toddlers Parker, 3, and Piper, 1, and we are taking notes! The Property Brothers co-host shared several photos and videos of his family's adorable adventures so far this summer on Instagram. 'Our quality time with the kiddos is all about shared experiences,' he wrote. 'We limit screen exposure in our house to only a couple times a week. And even when watching Bluey or Ms. Rachel, they always encourage kids to dance, sing, play and just experience life!' More from SheKnows Busy Philipps Shares the 'Best Advice' Michelle Williams Gave Her for Parenting Teens & We're Taking Notes He shared some of their favorite things to do lately, which includes exploring museums and aquariums because 'Parker is OBSESSED with sharks.' Scott holds up Parker to see some cool interactive displays at a museum in one picture, and a clip of Parker watching a shark swim at an aquarium. There is also a photo collage of Parker and Piper watching puppet and magic shows. 'I love seeing their little faces light up when @rikemind and @realfunnyeddie do their thing,' the HGTV star wrote. So sweet! Other pictures included swimming, watching table tennis matches, and going on nature walks. But one of the coolest? Family jam sessions! There are tons of pictures of Parker and Piper playing with toy instruments and real instruments, like a huge harp! A video of Parker playing the piano and a clip of Piper dancing to someone playing guitar and playing the accordion shows their budding talent. 'My dad plays guitar and so do I,' Scott wrote. 'Parker has been gravitating toward piano (shoutout to Reese Massey at @rhodesschoolofmusic) and Piper loves her little accordion, so we're well on our way to one big Scott Family Band!' 'Creating memories ❤️❤️,' one person commented. This family is so adorable, and it looks like these two are having the greatest summer now! Last month, Scott revealed his son's most unhinged behavior: 'Parker went through a phase where he was making out with the mirror,' he wrote on Instagram, adding, 'Now Piper's started the same 😳 🤣.' That's definitely wild! He also asked followers to share their toddlers' behaviors, and the comments didn't disappoint. 'As soon as my husband's hairy legs are exposed, my daughter calls them 'kitties' and tries to pet and kiss them 😂,' one person wrote. Another said, 'Washing his face with toilet water 🫠🫠🫠🫠' Kids definitely keep life interesting!Best of SheKnows These Podcasts for Parents of Teens Will Make You Feel Seen These Hot Famous Dads Are Making Fatherhood Look Finer Than Ever 36 Times Prince Louis Proved That the Third Child Is a Wild Card

A Lobster, 110, Is Finally Free. Why 1 Restaurant Decided He Should Be Swimming in the Ocean — Instead of Butter
A 110-year-old lobster, Lorenzo, is free of his tank On Thursday, June 12, Peter's Clam Bar in Long Island released its mascot to the ocean with the help of local officials "He's now living his best life — clawing his way to freedom," the restaurant wrote on FacebookA century-old lobster has returned to the ocean after being pardoned by two Long Island officials. On Thursday, June 12, Lorenzo — a 21-lb., 110-year-old lobster — was released by Butch Yamali, the owner of Peter's Clam Bar in Island Park, where Lorenzo was an iconic staple, CW affiliate WPIX, News12 and NBC affiliate WNBC reported. In honor of National Lobster Day and Father's Day, Lorenzo received a full pardon with the help of Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and Nassau County Legislator John Ferretti, according to WPIX. 'Lorenzo just kind of slipped through the cracks and ended up in our tank for years,' Yamali said of his restaurant's mascot. 'People would come see him and take pictures with him, and he was just an object of the store.' The move mirrors the restaurant's release of another lobster, Lenny, years before. While Lorenzo will be missed, Yamali told the outlet that it's better this way. (The owner didn't immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.) 'If he passed away here, it wouldn't be a good thing,' he told WPIX, 'and I couldn't have the heart to sell him.' Lorenzo traveled to Atlantic Beach Reef with a full escort on a Hempstead Bay Constable boat, according to WNBC.

'Most people celebrate National Lobster Day with butter,' Ferretti told the outlet. 'But not today!" The restaurant also had fun celebrating Lorenzo's newfound freedom. 'He's now living his best life — clawing his way to freedom,' wrote the clam bar on Facebook, 'and soaking up the salty breeze (instead of butter).' Read the original article on People
