40 Times Moms Did The Most… And We Loved Every Bit Of It
Let’s face it—if superheroes wore bathrobes and could find literally anything you’ve lost in under five minutes, they’d be moms. Life may feel like an endless loop of emails and existential dread, but sometimes, a photo of a mom doing something ridiculously sweet or unintentionally hilarious is all it takes to pull us out of the void.
In this feel-good collection of 40 happiness-inducing pics of moms, we’re celebrating all the soft, funny, over-the-top, and heartfelt things moms do—often with zero recognition. From mailing your lost sock with a handmade card to battling -25 degree weather just to feed the squirrels (yes, that happened), these snapshots are proof that moms are built different. You don’t need a cape to save the day. Sometimes, you just need a mom who remembers where your other sock is.
#1. -25 degrees today; my dad just sent me this photo of my 70 year old mom, who is perpetually cold no matter the temperature brave the polar vortex to go outside and put food out for the squirrels so they don’t have to search.

#27. My mother found my cat online after a whole year of being lost.
His name is Basil. He is around 10 years now, we don’t know for sure because we found him outside and “adopted” him. He had been gone recently for a whole year, and my mother had found him online, as someone was offering to pass him to a new family. They drove all the way to my work place when I was working and surprised me.
We lived together for 8 years and he had finally come back after a year of absence. This photo is my first reaction when I was allowed to see him and pet him. I missed him alot, and he was like a brother to me.
