… a real mom knows that in order to make everyone else happy, she has to make herself happy first.
… a real mom knows how to pick her battles, and forcing her husband to come up with the perfect gift isn’t one she’s opted into.
… a real mom is pragmatic, a realist, and (let’s face it) slightly opportunistic. Why sulk when you can shop?
… a real mom knows that the laundry will always be there. But a 20% off sale with free shipping? Now that’s urgent.
Real moms. Making sure momma’s happy.

Oh Jenny! this is brilliant. I hope you win! That photo is hysterical and I can relate. I am trying to talk myself into buying myself an iPod for Mother’s Day. I’m not there yet. You got me closer though!
