Dear Magical Moms, 🦄✨
A letter of appreciation from your magical kids
Thank you. Thank you for love, kindness, acceptance, compassion, forgiveness, support, dedication, boundaries, strength, clarity, and silliness.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for being there. Thank you for bringing onto this planet, and for being with us on this wild adventure — and for doing it all without a manual (though maybe ChatGPT is that manual now?!)!
Thank you for showing up when we were (literally) covered in sh*t. Thanks for letting us puke on you, and laughing about it (maybe after crying a few tears of despair, and tossing your favorite shirt in the hamper, irreparably stained). Thank you for your endless patience as we learned to sit up, walk, crawl, talk, and share everything – including you!
Thank you for showing up for yourself, too. Beyond being a mother, you are an incredible human – even though mothering has been one of your most defining roles. You are creative, fearless, visionary, loving, capable, active – a leader, supporter, guide, and friend.
Today is your day to remember what it was like to be a little girl – to play and have fun, free of any responsibilities! 🧚🏽 To be celebrated, because it was YOU who gave children the gift of love and joy and play and laughter – the most precious gift!
Today is also your day to honor yourself as a mother – grounded, present, strong, fiery at times, a guardian, a protector, a cheerleader, a comforter, a playmate, a muse, a confidant, a guide. You come from a long tradition of mothers, and are part of a global community of amazing women dedicated to protecting, nurturing, and raising children. 🌍🌱
Thanks to who you are, future generations can trust that they will have creative, curious, moral, courageous, humble, grateful, and compassionate elders.
Thank you for keeping us safe, for teaching us that we can keep putting one foot in front of the other, and for showing us that we are strong enough to handle a world that contains as much darkness as it does light.
Thanks for giving 100% of what you had to give; even when it didn’t feel like a lot. It was and is always enough. Thank you for your commitment to self-love and self-improvement. When you do better, we all do better.
Thank you for making every day so special. You are truly magical! We love you!

P.S. We’re sorry about all the sleepless nights, meltdowns, diaper blowouts, sticky fingerprints, mystery stains, and kitchen “experiments” gone haywire.
And the glitter. All the glitter.
Thank you Angel!!
