You ever been in one of those “omg, that’s nasty!” moments that you wish someone else would clean that sh*t up? If not, then I dunno what to tell you, and you can stop reading now. I’ve been there, and guess what I’ve learned? All those times I “left it,” it was majorly my mom who cleaned it up -whether it was a pet’s poop, dirty laundry, dirty dishes, whatever…

Being a mom meow, I will ask you to do one simple thing: Mother’s Day is coming, and if someone you know and love has always cleaned sh*t up when you ‘didn’t wanna’…. honor them. If you have or had an amazing mother, think of her now, before a hurried last-minute gift is necessary, because whether good or bad, you are here because of her. Whether good or bad, she did her best. Do I now understand just how much mothers are underappreciated? Absolutely. Just because the saying goes “it’s a thankless job,” does not mean she should not be thanked… and where actions speak louder than words, the best gift is a helping hand.
