Thank You Mom

My Mom is the best. Here's a list to tell you why and to tell her thank you.

My family rocks

And its all thanks to my mom

She picked this guy to be my Dad

She brought this menace into the world

:/

She made my brother and I her whole life

And we made sure that being a stay at home mom was a full time job

She dressed me in all the coolest accessories

Bc she knew I would never be embarrassed by these looks in the future

I mean seriously what was with all the hats?!

She's always helping me

From school projects to trying to be a functioning adult, my mom has always been there to support me when (9 times out of 10) I mess up.

She's a real-life Kitty Forman

She encourages her children to challenge traditional gender roles

Sorry Jimmy

She got me this shirt

Instead of actually getting me a pony

She has a great sense of humor

*see above pic of girl who wants a pet pony for proof*

Sometimes she wonders why she ever had kids

Like that one time when I gave her a birthday card that said "Happy Mother's Day",

or when her son kept jumping in water despite not knowing how to swim as a kid...

But I'm so glad you did

Because I wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for you

So thanks for taking me to disney world

And to all of my childhood activities

and to that dark and loud hell also known as Holister so that I could wear the latest 7th grade fashions

And for exposing me to different viewpoints

Thank you

For shouldering the weight of motherhood and making it look easy

Thank you

For teaching me the value of handwork and sacrifice

Thank you

For setting a 25 year long example of what love and partnership look like.

Thank you

For not smacking me when I gave you this look for talking to me in front of my friends and for loving me through those hellish tween years.

Thank you

For providing me a life full of incredible opportunities.

Thank you

For everything.

For giving Jimmy and I your everything, everyday of our lives.

If I ever become a mother I'll have some very large shoes to fill

I love you Mom.

Happy Mother's Day.
