10 of the Best Mom Quotes for Mother’s Day

Last updated on May 12th, 2020 at 01:00 am

A love for ones mother or a mother’s love for her children is like no other.  Sometimes it’s often hard to capture that love into words.   And since Mother’s Day is a time where we celebrate moms of all kinds, I wanted to share some wonderful Mom quotes that I think best describe motherhood and being a mother.

There are so many mom quotes out there: funny ones, short ones, religious ones, etc.  Instead of a very long list of many quotes about moms and motherhood, I thought I’d pick just 10 great ones!

 

 

10 BEST MOM QUOTES FOR MOTHER’S DAY

 

I’ve listed below some of the best mom quotes below.   They sum up different aspects of motherhood.  And I explain why they are my favorites and what they mean to me.

1.  “A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend.”  -Unknown

 

I love this quote because mothers are often our first friends.  They teach us kindness and show us unconditional love.  They have fun and play games with us.

Many of them make the best of friends because they are loyal and stick by us throughout our lives– coaching us, supporting us and cheering us on.  They are there to share in the happy times as well as support us through the difficult ones.

 

 

 

2.   “Being a mother is learning about strengths you never knew you had . . . and dealing with fears you never knew existed.”  -Linda Wooten

 

I think so many of us can relate to this quote. There is no learning curve or transition into motherhood.   You are thrown into motherhood and go through what seems like a “boot camp”–learning to care for  a newborn while getting used to living off of so little sleep. Not to mention all the other changes that come along for new moms.

But that weight and responsibility of motherhood grows a new strength in you that you never knew you were capable of having.  You learn about yourself and the lengths you’ll go for your child’s happiness and well being.

And on the other hand you realize your most precious possessions are the ones you fear losing the most.

You want to protect your kids at all cost.  So from the time they are born, there is always a set of worries, and as they grow, new worries arise.  The fears that arise inside us are from not being able to protect them from things beyond our control in this world.

3.  “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.” -Unknown

 

A mother’s impact on her children last a lifetime.  She holds their hands while they are young and learning.  They hold their little ones’ hands crossing streets, going for walks, or when they’re scared.

And as these children grow, they don’t need to physically hold their mothers hands as often.

But mothers touch the lives of their children with their lasting love in a way that forever leaves an imprint on their children’s hearts.  Children don’t forget their mother’s loving way, gentle touch and happy memories.  They hold their moms in their hearts forever.

 

 


 

 

4.  “There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.”  -Jill Churchill

 

We all want what is best for our children.  And we love our children to no end.  From the time we are pregnant we want to have everything ready for their arrival, buy all the right baby products and supplies, and be the best parents.

But there are no perfect people, and there definitely aren’t perfect parents.  We are human.  And there isn’t one “right” way to parent.  If we love our children, and do all we can to protect and care for them, then we are good mothers.

 

 

 

5.  “If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do matters very much.” -Jackie Kennedy

 

Since I first read this quote, it has stuck with me.  It really explains how important your role is as a mother.  The responsibility of raising healthy, happy well functioning adults is a huge weight and no easy feat.  But done well, can be the greatest accomplishment to be proud of.  I like this quote because it reminds me to keep focus of what is truly important and to remember the importance and sacredness of the role of motherhood.

6.  “Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears. ” -Kate Winslet

 

When becoming a mother,  thinking about my child and wanting what was best for them brought about a clear focus on what was truly important to me.  A lot of things that mattered to me before, now seemed insignificant.  Motherhood has made me a better person.

 


 

 

7.  “There is nothing as powerful as mother’s love, and nothing as healing as a child’s soul.” -Unknown

 

The love one feels for their child is immeasurable.  You can’t imagine it until you experience it.   Being a mom has been one of the greatest joys and experiences in my life.  And that love knows no boundaries–it’s truly powerful.

I also noticed after becoming a mom, that my children brought so much joy and happiness into my life, that they eased other sorrows and sadness in it.  No matter what happens or is going on in the world, if they are healthy and happy, everything else is put into perspective.

 

 

 

8.  “A mother’s love endures through all.” -Washington Irving

 

There is no end to a mother’s love for her children.  I always tell my kids that there’s nothing they could do for me not to love them.  No matter what, I am here for them.  Always.

 

 

10-best-mom-quotes-mom-and-daughter-sitting-at-table

 

9.  “God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.”  -Rudyard Kipling

 

I thought this was such a sweet quote.  Mothers are usually the main source of guidance, support,  and unconditional love in the lives of their precious innocent children.  They give their kids a sense of security, safety and are a rock of strength throughout their lives.

 

 

10. “A mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go.”  -Unknown

 

I could hug my children all day if I could.  And there is no better feeling than having their little arms wrapped around my neck.  And I think the feeling of love we instill in our kids will stick with them for their lifetime.  It will allow them to always feel that “hug” or love we have for them . . . forever.

My family loves when I create food content - it me My family loves when I create food content - it means they get to enjoy it when I’m done taking pics and videos;) 

They dug into these Easter treats I made this week: Easter Bark (posted a reel of this yesterday) and Rice Krispie nests with Easter egg candy. 

The nests are a no-bake dessert and both are easy and fun for the kids to join when making!

And for an Easter outfit idea that’s not a dress, this Spring outfit I’m wearing is head to toe from Target. 

I’m wearing XS in both the top and shorts - I cut the stings off the top, and the shorts have an elastic waistband and pockets. 

I sized up 1/2 size in the braided sandals - they’re  cushiony and very comfy. (Seen in the second pic)

What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever face What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever faced? The greatest lesson you ever learned? 

For me, I faced one of my toughest challenges at 6 years old, learning the meaning of “life is short.”

I’d spent many afternoons that summer splashing around our backyard pool with my Mom, Dad, sister and baby brother. 

It was our first - and only summer, as a family of 5 before life was forever changed.  Soon after, my Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  He died a little over a year later at the age of 35.

His death not only impacted me as a child, but has continued to affect me in different ways throughout my adult life too. 

There’s a sadness with each milestone missed, birthday not celebrated and the wondering of what life ‘would’ve been like.’ 

There’s the worry in hoping my kids never have to experience losing a parent like I did. 

But through this struggle and others, I’ve learned from each of them.

I’ve found strength and resiliency. 

Having a positive attitude and focusing on what I do have has helped so much. I can handle hard times and still find joy. 

I am grateful for having a supportive family and friends whose love allowed me to have a happy childhood despite my loss. 

I gained compassion for others’ suffering through my own. 

I know that every day with the ones we love is precious and to be cherished. 

So if you’re struggling with something in your life, no matter how big or small, know that you are not alone. We all struggle - it’s not fun, but it’s part of life. 

This part of my life hasn’t always been easy to share. 

But speaking your truth is a brave and vulnerable act, and it’s how we build real connections. 

Plus, you never know when a page from your story will turn into a key chapter in someone else’s survival guide!

Thinking of you today and wishing you hope & strength in your journey. 💕

Who could use a little light today? “A smile i Who could use a little light today? 

“A smile is the light in your window that tells others there is a sharing, caring person inside.” —Denis Waitley

During my days working as a pharmacist, my former boss once referred to me and my partner as the “sweethearts of our district.”

I’m an empath to the bone.  It truly makes my heart hurt to see other people crying or suffering. 

I just want to run over and hug them!

And I used to do just that if a patient came to my pharmacy counter with bad news or a heavy heart. 

Sometimes the best medicine is one that heals the soul:)

Nowadays as a blogger/content creator I’m on the other side of your screen, not the pharmacy counter. 

But know that I’m here for you too! 

This is me, sending my virtual smile YOUR way! 😃

How do you get yourself motivated to exercise? Fo How do you get yourself motivated to exercise?

For me, my morning meditation and cup of coffee definitely starts my day off right. 

But not until I’ve selected a cute workout outfit! 

I absolutely LOVE how good and energized it feels on the inside after a workout. 

But ya know the saying ‘look good, feel good?’ 

The fashion lover in me gets a little extra motivation when the outfit I’m wearing has me feeling cute on the outside too.

It gives me a little extra boost and puts me in the right frame of mind before breaking a sweat. 

*Tip: Selecting and laying out my outfit the night before makes it even quicker & easier to get going the next day!

So how about you? 

Does a cute workout outfit motivate you too?

These 4 workout sets from Amazon have been getting me extra motivated lately! (Swipe to see them all) 

I’m wearing size small in all of them.

To shop these outfits, just click the link in my profile, head to stories or message me for a link!
