It’s no secret that motherhood is the hardest job of life.

Most days there is so much to do, you don’t even know which way is up anymore. Being a mom is a special something that you love it and can hate it at the same time. (Guilty.)

But I have always been the kind of person to make light of the situation and find a bit of humor in whatever you do or go through. Here is a roundup of my favorite mom humor letterboards that have me stop my scroll on Pinterest and give me a giggle or two.

These are all relatable and that’s why I love them so much. You will see me posting these types of letterboards on my Instagram Stories almost every day. So follow me @onetopknotmama if you want more of these!

If it can’t be washed in the laundry (even hand wash only is pushing it) or at least top rack safe for the dishwasher, just don’t buy it.

Messy hair, don't care. Actually, I do. But motherhood has lowered my standards. Like a lot.

It’s just part of my look now.

Some days I amaze myself. Other days, I look for my phone while I'm talking on it.

Yup. And the kids’ food is always juuuusst right, because they’re little tyrants.

Both of us can't look good at the same time. It's either me or the house.

Never both. And if both look good, watch out!

I hate when I'm waiting for Mom to fix dinner, then remember I am the Mom.

Everyday. Whyyyyyy??

There should be a "My kid got up at 4:30" discount at Starbucks.

And a fast pass like at Disney too to cut in front of everyone.

Talking to my kids. Me: I'm not going to tell you again. Narrator: She did in fact tell them again.

Motherhood is so exhausting. But worth every little bit. And naps help.

The day isn't complete unless I have threatened to throw all of something away.

Or actually throw something away only to have your kid see it, dig it out of the trash, and be so upset you didn’t hold onto their paper with one orange crayon scribble.

Sometimes self care is wandering the aisles of Target.

Have you heard of a swear jar? I started a Mom jar. The kids have to put in $1 every time they say "Mom." I'm up to $59 million. We started 30 minutes ago.
