You Know You're A Mother
In honor of Mother’s Day, here’s a crowd-sourced list of “you know you’re a mom when…” lines. Thanks to all the great moms out there. What you do is super important. And it’s amazing how gracefully you do it.

You didn’t know your laundry hamper had a bottom.
Your kid throws up and you catch it.
You’re hauling at least half a dozen bags every time you leave the house.

You haven’t gone to the bathroom alone in years.
You have “Lucy’s Mom” as a contact in your phone.
