Some of us make it to Wednesday with a skip in our step, a good amount of sleep behind us, and even a glimmer of hope for the joys that the coming weekend may hold. However, if you have kids then this is likely not a part of your reality and is in fact about as far from your reality as you could probably imagine. That is why we are taking a moment to appreciate our marvellous moms who always put in 110% effort and have probably already done so several times by this point in the week. Today's collection of magical maternal moments is full of wholesome, inspiring and funny moments from the journey of motherhood, with some irony stuffed moments thrown in for good measure.

So whether you become a tattoo mom at the age of 40, drink pumpkin spice without a care in the world, still give your 18-year-old piggyback rides or you simply got caught by your two-year-old at two in the morning doom-scrolling and eating cheese sticks in bed, this list has a wholesome and heart-warming meme for you to indulge in and help restore hope in the rest of the week.

    "Our kids are always learning from us"

    Font - When my kids are anxious or upset, I sing them lullabies. It doesn't matter what time of day, it's something that I know comforts them. Last night, my toddler noticed I was upset, and began singing to me. Our kids are always observing and learning – Let's make sure we make it worth their while, and ours too.

    Font - My daughter has been throwing tantrums lately any time we leave somewhere. My friend suggested that I try giving her small choices to make her feel like she has some control and prevent the meltdowns. So the other day at the playground when it was time to go, I said, “Would you like to go home in the stroller, or would you like to walk home?" Instead of answering the question, she gave ME two choices and said, "Would you like to carry me home, or would you like me to run away from you?" A

    "A sweet reminder"

    Orange - When we went up to the mountains with our friends for a weekend getaway, most of us ended up getting sick while we were there. We weren't able to do any of the outings we had planned with the kids: No hiking. No museums. No hayrides and pumpkin patches. Instead, our kids just stayed in the Airbnb and played. On the drive home, my toddler said, "That was such a fun time! I loved playing at that house." It was a reminder that I don't always need to come up with grand gestures for my kid t

    "There's a fine line between annoying and cute."

    Font - Most times I don't tell my kids I'm taking them somewhere fun in advance, but sometimes, I tell them just so I can watch the extra spring in their steps and listen to them squeal in excitement as they ask me if it's time to go for the 77th time. Scorpion

    "Good teachers make all the difference."

    Font - My daughter moved to a different classroom recently, and her teacher from her old classroom, Ms. O, knows she's especially stressed by change. When I went to pick up my daughter from school the other day, she said, “I love Ms. O." "Why do you love Ms. O?" I asked. And she told me Ms. O has been dropping by her new classroom every day to check in on her and make sure she's doing OK. Teachers, thank you for going above and beyond for our kids. It means so much.

    "Preschool buds"

    Font - When I first started dropping off my daughter at preschool, she would cling to my leg and cry when I left. Recently one of her classmates has started running up to her when we arrive, holding her hand, leading her to the play mat, and handing her books and toys to play with. She has made drop-off so much easier, and I can tell my daughter feels more at ease when we arrive at school. Knowing my daughter has a kind friend like this in her class makes all the difference. Raise the kind kid.

    "When home is your safe space."

    Terrestrial plant - When my daughter comes home after school, she'll take her shoes and socks off, put her feet up on the couch, and drink her milk while she watches a show. "I like being home,” she says. And girl, I could not relate more. She looks exactly like me on a Friday night: feet propped up on the couch, drinking a glass of wine while watching a movie, and enjoying the quietness of being home. To all the other introverted parents and kids: we see you.

    "Our latest mom rant: all the school apps."

    Font - There is not enough storage in my brain or on my phone to manage all of the apps that parents of school-aged children are now expected to juggle. I am going to run out of storage soon and if the soccer coach thinks I am deleting TikTok or Pinterest to make space for preschool field assignments he is very mistaken. I need 24/7 tech support staff just to make sure my kids are doing their homework. So I am begging you, teachers and coaches of the world (or at least my children), please chill

    "H*ll yes."

    Font - I used to be so worried about how a tattoo might be perceived by an older generation, or at a fancy gathering. But now, at almost 40, I'm kind of just over it. I'm over worrying about the opinions of others and overthinking these kinds of decisions. Even if I regret a tattoo later in life, it still tells a story about a time of my life that is a part of me and my growth. And that is why I just made an appointment to get six more. So to the person who sarcastically said to me recently, "I

    "Grandma and Grandpa FTW!"

    Font - Our daughter was having a major meltdown in the car, and none of our usual tricks would calm her. Then her grandparents happened to Face Time and asked to talk to her. They showed her all of her favorite stuffed animals at their house and their dogs on the camera. They played "upside down" with her as they spun the phone around. And her tears immediately stopped. Grandparents really do have the magic touch. se

    "Kindness over everything."

    Font - I'm sure there are kids at my first grader's new school who are good at math, good at science, or good at sports. But you know the ones she remembers at the end of the day? The kids who come up to her, offer to help her, offer to be her friend so she doesn't feel left out. The kind ones. That's important.

    "My heart "

    Font - I was having a rough night and found myself crying next to my toddler who was tucked in my bed. At some point my sobs woke him up, and as I panicked to get him back to sleep, he softly whispered "Mommy, are you okay?" I nodded my head. He took my hand, and gently kissed it. "Don't be sad, Mommy. I love you." And just like that, I wasn't having a rough night anymore.

    "Love this"

    Amber - At the end of the day (or week, or month, or year), ask your kids for something terrific (their rose), something not so great (their thorn), and something that could be the seed of something getting better (their bud). This reminds kids to expect good, bad, and hopeful things to be happening in their lives at all times. The good can be enjoyed, and the bad does not need to be fixed, just accepted. so man

    "Oh that ugly monster over there? His name is Greg WorkNemesis."

    Font - Amy Colleen @sewistwrites As spooky season approaches, my very interested toddler has been asking "WHAT HIM NAME?" when we see a skeleton or other ghoulish figure on someone's lawn, and since "I don't know" is unacceptable to people who are almost 3, I have been spitballing names of people I don't like.

When we picked her up from the airport, she gave me the biggest hug and then immediately said, "Is it OK if I sit in the backseat with your daughter? I'm just so excited to meet her." The rest of the weekend, she played with her, read to her, and really made an effort to spend time with her. It meant the world to me that she treated my daughter like her own. And those are the type
