Today I will be sharing my first day of gratitude.
I am grateful for my friends. So in honor of all the fabulous women in my life I will give you 10 friends every mom needs. Some of my friends fill multiple positions because they are just. that. good.
1. The Childhood Friend.
This friend is the one who has known you the longest. Who knows you better than you know yourself. They have memories galore and there to remind you of how far you've come when you're doubting where to go.
2. The "F**k that!" Friend.
She is the fierce one who doesn't take crap from anyone and won't let you take crap from anyone, either! When you're upset she will tell you "f**k that, girl!" She doesn't make you feel silly for being upset about anything. Your feelings are valid and she knows it! You always leave conversations with her feeling empowered. F**k yea.
3. The Independent Woman Friend.
She's a career woman. She has kids but knows that she deserves her own identity, too. She is encouraging and pushes you to meet your goals. She is a powerhouse. She runs her family. She runs her career. She runs it. This friend makes you feel like you can take on the world!
4. The Playdate Friend.
This friend has kids around the same age as yours and doesn't like pants, either. She rocks the mom bun and loves having playdates with you. You get to watch your kids without the fear of judgement. As long as your kids are happy and healthy, she won't look at you crazy if they're still in their Pajamas at 2pm and only had six handfuls of gummies for lunch.
5. The Adventurous Friend.
Oh, girl! She is playful, funny and a ball of energy. Wanna make a small road trip? Let's do it! Want to just go store to store and window shop? Get in my car, we're going! She is spontaneous and fills your life with happiness. She values your company and that is priceless.
6. The Drinking Friend.
No, I'm not talking about the dancing on a bar friend. But the friend who might be eyeballing that purse to help hide wine in it. The friend who knows that a ladies night out with a few drinks is helpful after a long week of adulting. This friend will show up at your house with a bottle of wine to share. She's talkative and ready to laugh.
7. The Nightowl Friend.
She stays up late and is always there for you. You can't sleep and need to vent? She's got your back. Your kids is vomiting all night and you just need to stay awake before the next puke fest? Shes awake, too, binge watching Netflix and happy to keep you company. She's one sleepy, nighttime goddess.
8. The Emotional Friend.
Whenever you're all up in your feels and just need someone to be up in them, too, she's there. She is loving and empathetic. She cares about you. This friend feels WITH you and not just for you.
9. The Hype-Girl Friend.
I love this friend. She hypes you up. When you're feeling down she reminds you of how wonderful you are. She gets upset when you don't see it. "Don't you dare think you're worthless!" Whether it is preparing for an interview, preparing for a speech, or simply tackling a grocery trip with 3 kids she will make you PUMPED for it. She reminds you how stunning you look, how intelligent you are, and overall fantastic.
10. The Timeless Friend.
You don't talk to this friend daily, monthly or maybe even yearly. But when you do? No time has passed. You don't guilt each other for the time that has passed. You both understand that life gets busy and that doesn't diminish the value of your friendship. When you're in town, she meets up with you. When you call randomly, you can talk for hours effortlessly. She's got your back. No. Matter. What.
