40 Things Moms Did That Are Too Cute And Too Funny To Forget

Life isn’t always sunshine and cookies—but thankfully, we have moms. Whether it’s packing 12 sandwiches “just in case,” misusing emojis in ways that could trigger an international incident, or hand-sewing Halloween costumes that haunt your adult dreams, moms have a special talent for being unintentionally iconic.

This collection of 40 wholesome, adorable, and absolutely hilarious things moms have done is a love letter to maternal mischief, pure-hearted chaos, and the kind of quirky genius only moms possess. From texts that make zero sense to grand gestures that could win Oscars for “Best Intention,” these photos are the serotonin snack you didn’t know you needed. Spoiler alert: You’re going to laugh, possibly cry, and almost definitely call your mom after this.
