CELEBRATING SUPERHUMAN'S DAY
Mother’s Day is more than just celebrating your mom or your partner, it’s about letting all the moms in your life know that you see them, in all their glory and their struggle, and they are crushing this whole #momlife shiz.
So why are we dubbing Mother's Day Superhuman's Day instead? When you look up synonyms of superhuman in the dictionary, you’ll find words like magical, miraculous, phenomenal, supernatural, and MOM. Okay, okay, we mayyyyybe added in that Mom part but it’s for good reason!
To be a mom IS to be a superhuman... the words are one in the same to us here at Friends Do This. And these superhuman's deserve to be told that they ARE in fact magical, miraculous, phenomenal and supernatural, whether they believe those words or not.
This Mother's Day, we want to help you celebrate and remind the superhuman's in your life that they are crushing it. Whether it’s your own mom who kicks ass on the daily or your best friend who is totally crushing the whole mom thing, we want you to nominate the superhuman in your life so that we can send them a care package!
Here’s how it works:
- Post a picture on Instagram or Facebook of your superhuman nominee between April 19 and May 7.
- Your post must be public, you must tag @FriendsDoThis and use the hashtag #MomsDoThis to enter the contest.
- In the post, tell us why this human is in fact Super. Bonus points for making us giggle!
We’ll choose 5 of the best posts and the contest winners will get the official Mom Essential Pack that includes greeting cards, a stack of bracelets from Bom Bom Beads, cookies from Cheeky Boy Bakery, a gift card from Seabird Coffee, a tumbler, and face masks.
Looking for more ways to uniquely celebrate the superhuman's in your life? We recently launched a line of witty Mother's Day cards to make any mom smile (and blush). So grab a pen and let’s remind all of the moms out there of their superhuman status!
