Taking the first day of school pictures is a time-honored mom tradition. I still love looking back on my own first day of school pics, even when I was at peak awkward stage, in my plaid uniform jumper beside my brothers.

Mom friends are something special. I truly don’t know what I’d do without mine, and I’m guessing you feel similarly. They’re the confidants I can commiserate with about the hard stuff and celebrate the little motherhood victories with that no one else appreciates. Mom friends are always there for you. Like the time they immediately answered your 3 a.m. text or when they offered a drop-off playdate so you could have a break.
