Mother’s Day isn’t just for traditional moms—it’s for every woman who shows up with love, care, and a fierce kind of loyalty that feels like home. Whether she raised you, helped raise you, or simply made you feel like you were hers, she deserves to be celebrated.

Here are 5 kinds of moms we’re shouting out this Mother’s Day:

1. The Single Mom Who Does It All

She’s the planner, the provider, the cheerleader, and the disciplinarian—all rolled into one. Single moms juggle more than most of us can imagine, and somehow, they still manage to show up with strength, love, and maybe even a packed lunch.

💐 Celebrate her with: A well-deserved break, a heartfelt letter, or even just taking something off her plate for the day. She won’t ask—but she’ll remember.

2. The Tita Who Stepped In Like a Mom

She might not have kids of her own, but she treats you like one—always ready with advice, a hot meal, or a dramatic reaction to your love life. Whether she’s your mom’s sister, a family friend, or the neighborhood tita, she deserves the love too.

👑 Celebrate her with: A surprise visit, her favorite snacks, or a personalized gift that says, “Thank you for being my second mom.”

3. The First-Time Mom Who’s Figuring It Out

She’s in the thick of sleepless nights, diaper changes, and wondering if she’s doing it right. (Spoiler: she is.) This is the season where reassurance means the world.

🍼 Celebrate her with: Encouragement, a check-in message, or better yet—an offer to help so she can nap, shower, or just breathe.

4. The Working Mom Who Balances It All

She powers through meetings and homework help, school pickups and late-night reports. She’s the queen of multitasking, and somehow, still shows up with grace.

📅 Celebrate her with: Time. Whether it’s a planned day off, a massage, or just a quiet meal, what she needs most might be a pause.

5. The Lola Who’s Still a Mom (and Then Some)

She’s raised her kids, maybe even helped raise her grandkids—and still gives advice like it’s 1992. Lolas carry traditions, family stories, and love that never runs out.

🧵 Celebrate her with: A trip down memory lane, a framed photo, or a simple meal together. Her favorite moments are often the quiet ones.

This Mother’s Day, expand the celebration. Honor the women who mother in all the big and small ways, regardless of titles. Because motherhood isn’t just biology—it’s presence, love, and the quiet act of putting others first.

To every kind of mom: you are seen, you are loved, and you deserve to be celebrated.
