Love Yer Mom — She Taught You to Make Stuff (And Clean It Up, Too)
Mothers. The original creative directors.
The first ones to hand you a crayon and say, “Go nuts.”
They didn't teach you art history. They didn’t need to. They taught you that construction paper could be magic. That a cake could be a canvas. That every holiday deserved a table centerpiece made from whatever was in the junk drawer.
Before you ever heard the word “aesthetic,” your mom was hot-gluing googly eyes onto pinecones and calling it a day.
These women—mothers, grandmothers, aunties, stepmoms, neighbor-ladies who just sort of took over—were the first to show us that creating isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up. With scissors. And tape. And way too much glitter.
So this Mother’s Day, take a second to think about the woman who first told you your stick figure was amazing. Who helped you make that diorama. Who baked you a birthday cake that may have defied physics but never lacked heart.
She taught you to make stuff. And she taught you to care. That’s the whole point.
If you're lucky enough to still have her around, tell her thanks. If not, make something weird in her honor.
To all the moms and mother-types:
Thanks for making the world. And then decorating it.
Love Yer Mom by showing her you know exactly what she needs to unwind!
