I'm going to take this time to completely and explicitly brag about how amazing my mom is. I don't show my appreciation for my mom as much as I should. She is superman, batman, and the hulk all built into one. She is literally super mom, and I admire her for it. Mama Linda is a shoulder to cry on, a warm hug after a long day, a home cooked meal after months away at college, a best friend to steal clothes from, and a belly laugh after an argument. This women is my person, and I could never ever express through words how much she means to mean. So whatever you do, try to find a Mama Linda, you won't regret it.

1. Endless Love.

Every morning, without a doubt I wake up and check my phone for a good-morning text from Mama Linda. This puts a smile on my face and gives me positive vibes to get through the day. It reminds me how much she truly cares, and she's always thinking about me, even while I'm away at school. Of course, I can't forget to mention her endless hugs. Without a doubt Mama Linda will hug you, even if you run and say no, she'll find you. But honestly they're the best hugs ever, and they're exactly what I look forward to when I get home.

2. Important advice.

As much as I hate to admit this one, Mama Linda is always right when it comes to her advice. Between boy issues, school, stress, friends, Mama Linda knows all. I wish I listened to her more because I could've saved myself from a lot of heart ache, and a lot of sleepless nights. Now that I'm away at school I text her almost everyday asking a million and one questions because lets me honest, adulting is hard shit. And I can't do it alone.

3. Built in best friend.

I love spending my lazy days with Mama Linda. We kick back, drink some tea, and binge watch every Hallmark movie that's ever been made. I love shopping trips with Mama Linda, we can both spend a ton of money in Target and console each other afterwards. Oh and she's the best Starbucks date, or gelato date. Wherever or whatever you want to do, Mama Linda is the best friend ready to go. And she'll always hype you up on your instagram selfies!

4. The perfect role model.

I would not be the woman I am today if I didn't follow Mama Linda in her footsteps. From her job, to family, to working out, to cuddling Finn, she's always on the go, and she's always doing something for other's. Mama Linda is the kindest, most compassionate, caring, loving, supportive, and motivated person I know. There's never a moment she's not doing something, and I admire her for her endless energy. I hope one day I am a half as good mother as she is.
