18 Pics That Prove Moms Are the Best People on Earth

As one mother puts it, “Moms are multi-taskers because we have to be.” There’s always a lot on their plate — chores, work, raising kids, etc. — and they have no choice but to do everything at the same time. And because of their sacrifices and unconditional love, they deserve all the good things that life has to offer.

Lest we forget that moms are some of the coolest people on this planet, Now I’ve Seen Everything put together 18 photos that will remind us of the sweet and delightful things mothers do for their loved ones.
