Mother’s Day 2009: The Cool Mom
When you were young, everyone wanted to come and hang out at your house.
“Dude, your mom’s so cool,” all your friends would say.
She didn’t try to eavesdrop when you were whispering about boys. She didn’t embarrass you by interrupting with milk and cookies just when you were about to tell all the girls about your huge crush on your lab partner.
She didn’t tell you to turn down that racket when you were listening to the radio. In fact, you could talk to her about the music you liked because she liked it, too.
She didn’t own a single pair of Mom Jeans (and, by the way, she’d think this link was totally hilarious). All of your friends were jealous because you could raid your mom’s closet and always find something great to wear. And she never yelled at you for spilling dip on whatever you borrowed, either.
She was your mom, but she was also your best friend.
She’s the Cool Mom and she always gave you the freedom to just be you.
Alex & Ani Expandable Bangle Set, $300 at saks.com.
This expandable bangle set will show her that you love her. It’ll show her how lucky you feel to be her daughter. And it’ll reflect her ultra-hip fashion sense, too.
Because, hey, a mom that totally gets you? That’s about as cool as it gets.
Always Hip, Never Square,
Olivia
