Real MVPs—Moms!
Posted by Nika Rivera on Apr 25th 2025
Let’s take a moment to honor the real MVPs—moms. These tireless warriors have superpowers that include hearing a snack wrapper open from three rooms away, predicting the weather based on joint pain, and finding that one Lego piece you swear you checked for.
They’re chefs, therapists, chauffeurs, event planners, human Kleenexes, and the reason your dentist still sees you twice a year.
The True Mom Experience
Being a mom is like starring in a high-speed action film where no one appreciates the main character until something’s on fire.
She’s managing homework and dental appointments while mentally calculating how many nuggets are left in the freezer. She’s Googling “how to clean slime out of carpet” at 2 a.m. She’s saying “I’m fine” with the tone of someone who hasn’t finished a hot coffee since the Bush administration.
What Moms Really Want on Mother’s Day
Forget the 27-minute wait at a brunch place where she ends up cutting everyone's pancakes anyway. What moms actually want is pretty simple:
-
Silence. Not the suspicious kind. The good kind.
-
A nap that doesn’t get interrupted by “Mom? MOM? MOMMMM??”
-
Appreciation. Like real, heartfelt, “we see everything you do” kind of appreciation.
-
And maybe… just maybe… a pair of cozy socks that make her feel like a human burrito for a few glorious minutes.

Okay, Hear Me Out on the Socks
Look, we’re not saying socks are the gift. We’re just saying that when you’re constantly on your feet (and stepping on plastic dinosaurs in the dark), socks that feel like little clouds on your toes start to feel pretty magical.
Wrapping It Up (Without Needing Tape)
So this Mother’s Day, give her a break. Tell her she’s doing an amazing job. Let her sleep. Hand her something soft. Maybe something warm. Possibly… foot-shaped. Just saying.
Happy Mother’s Day to every mom who’s ever said “I’m just resting my eyes” and meant it with her whole soul.
