You Know You’re a Mom When

Motherhood is synonymous with joy. No, make that pure joy. In fact, imagine a double soy non-fat latte wrapped in a rainbow and delivered directly to your lips by a flock of butterflies and you might be able to touch the joy of motherhood.

Bwahahahahahahaha!

Mothering is the best gig on earth, but you have to sift through a lot of everyday detritus to get to the happy nuggets. So. much. sifting.

So to mark us as a Band of Mothers slugging through it day in and day out, we thought about printing up silicone bracelets with “YKYAMW”–you know you’re a mom when–but then realized they were totally unnecessary. Mothers are pretty easy to spot from the bags under our eyes, the spit-up on our sleeves, and the laundry piles blocking our halls.

Plus who wants their battle cry to have “YAM” in the middle of it?

So bracelets? We don’t need no stinkin’ bracelets. What we really need is commiseration, and we here at The Sisterhood can deliver!

    Love all of these! You left out “you attempt to catch vomit with your hands,” my personal favorite 🙂
