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. The ones I 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. And finding the perfect holiday gift for mom friends is one way to show how much they mean to you.
