Celebrating All Types of Motherhood

Redefining Motherhood: Celebrating Every Kind of Caregiver

Motherhood is so much more than biology. It’s not just defined by giving birth or raising a child — it’s about the act of nurturing, protecting, and showing unconditional love. While we often associate Mother’s Day with traditional moms, the truth is that motherhood comes in many forms. From single dads, to cat/dog moms, to caregivers and those who’ve stepped in to offer love and guidance — motherhood is about showing up, offering comfort, and being a steady source of support.

My mother died when she was 30, so I was raised by my father. He was 31 with four young daughters he raised without the help of others as his parents had passed and my mother was an only child. I learned early on, that Mother’s Day should include the parent/people that “are acting mother’s” that help raise, nurture and love us.

Motherhood Beyond the Traditional Definition

Single dads who play the role of both parents, pet parents who provide love and care to their furry companions, and caregivers who devote themselves to nurturing someone through life’s challenges — all of these experiences embody the heart of what we call “motherhood”. The patience, the sleepless nights, the quiet sacrifices, and the joyful moments of connection — they define what it means to love like a mother.
