This Sunday, being Mother's Day, is entirely devoted to all the beautiful moms out there. They do the work of a chauffeur, a nurse, a chef, and a teacher all wrapped in one, plus more, and with no days off. Sometimes we can overlook all that our moms have done for us and the women that gave us life deserve much more than that. Mother's Day comes around once a year, but really, everyday should be Mother's Day.

I love my mom. She was my first best friend and has kept that title ever since. Nothing stops the belly laughs we share when we are together. No one makes me laugh the way she does- probably because we share the same silly sense of humor- but I wouldn’t give it up for the world. She has the absolute best taste in music and I thank her for opening me up to the music world at such a young age. She is my biggest supporter and that means more to me than she'll ever know. She'd had my back through all the ups and downs in life and I would have been lost without her.

I hope that this year everyone tries to acknowledge their mom's hard work all throughout the year. Never forget all that she has done for you and continues to do, even as you enter the adult world (can't I stay a kid forever?)

Here are 30 things you should never forget to thank your mom for:

1. She brought you into this world (and she "can take you out of it" as every mom says).

2. She changed all your dirty diapers.

3. She bathed and fed you as an infant, toddler, and small child.

4. She sacrificed many hours of sleep in order to put you to bed.

5. She's found many toys and sports equipment that have been misplaced.

6. She has believed in you and all your dreams (even those of being King or Queen of the world).

7. She has nursed you back to health after a cold or flu... wiping your nose for you, giving you medicine, and making homemade soup.

8. She has tied your shoe laces and taught you how to do it yourself.

9. She has washed your clothes and your dishes.

10. She always reminded you that "you're only human" and that it'll "be okay".

11. She has allowed you to make mistakes.

12. And she has dried up your tears afterward.

13. She drove you to school every day until you got your license.

14. She volunteered as "team mom", "club mom", "class mom", "PTA mom", etc.

17. She's given tons of excellent advice.

19. She has provided rules to keep you in line.

20. She has dealt with lots of back talk and attitude, when most of the time she is right.

21. She has taught you to be honest.

22. She has never given up on you.

23. She has been so understanding, sometimes without you even having to say a word.

24. She has given you space to grow as a person.
