Mother’s Day looked different for many this year as restaurants were shut down, stores were closed and most couldn’t even visit their fam-jams as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. These celeb mamas made the most of their special day in quarantine, celebrating their loved ones, enjoying a few well-deserved treats and just being thankful for the gift that is motherhood.

Breakfast in Bed

Moms might not have been able to do the typical brunch thing this year, but that doesn’t mean the kids (and partners) didn’t step up their stovetop games to bring deserving mamas some treats in bed to start the day off right. Kim Kardashian shared a snap to her Instagram stories of some bedside French toast and bacon, January Jones spent the entire morning in bed and Heidi Klum gathered her impressive crew for some snuggles and pancakes.

First-time mamas

Plenty of new moms were experiencing the Mother’s Day thing from the other side of it this year, from Shay Mitchell and Maren Morris to Ashley Graham and Rachel Bloom. It seems like these ladies were just taking in the miracle of life on Sunday, grateful to be on the journey with their babes… their adorable, giggly, brand new babes.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the new, sleep deprived moms. To all the newish moms who are finally getting their bearings and adjusting to a new normal. To all the moms of multiples. To all the working moms. To all the single moms. To all the moms of rainbow babies. To the moms who have lost children. To those with difficult relationships with theIr moms. To mother figures in the absence of children. To all the women who are moms in their hearts but their bodies aren’t cooperating. To anyone who woke-up this morning with a pang of sadness because they no longer have their mom here. And let’s not forget the moms who are totally content with fur babies, or nothing to take care of at all. Wherever you are in this relationship, celebrate that today.?

Like mother, like daughter

Whether they’re expecting like Gigi Hadid or Katherine Schwarzenegger, a new mom like Jodie Turner-Smith or Jenna Dewan (for the second time), or someone who has been doing this mom thing for a while now (mom-of-three Beyoncé, Courteney Cox), one thing many celebrity moms made clear this Mother’s Day is just how much they appreciate their own mothers and how these important women have influenced their lives and made them who they are today.[video_embed id='1948605']RELATED: Gigi and Zayn are expecting a beautiful baby together[/video_embed]

MOTHER... words cannot express how much you mean to me. you have always been a powerful woman and you have always been an excellent mother, but my journey into motherhood has only taken my appreciation of you to another level! i am so glad that nothing could keep you from being by my side for the birth of your granddaughter. in so many ways, it felt like she waited for you—so that you could be there to hold my hand through contractions, so that you could stand watch over me while we welcomed her into this world. i am humbled by the way you have selflessly rallied around us and taken care of us, cooking every day (!!!), filling our house with laughter and love! mummy, i love you and my heart is so full! it is my greatest hope that i will make you feel proud of the mother i now get to be. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, my scorpio queen!!! & Happy 1st Mother’s Day to me ???

Dear Mama, I am thankful for every part of you and every second I share with you. Thank you for giving me life and thank you for expanding my consciousness. I would not have been able to do any of what I’ve done in my life without your strength, your wisdom and your prayers. My biggest goal in life is for my children to feel the love you make us all feel. I appreciate you and thank you with every ounce of admiration and respect. To anyone reading, please thank and appreciate your mom today and everyday. I’m sending all my love and positivity to anyone missing their angel moms today. I love y’all deep. Gang gang gang gang ? and thank you for all the Mother’s Day wishes. Sending Big Texas hugs, Mama B?

Getting crafty

This year, moms didn’t have daycare centres and schools helping their wee ones out with the best Mother’s Day gift of all, homemade crafts. That didn’t stop some star kids from creating their own cards and presents though. Some, like Busy Philipps’ daughter, even went the hilarious, uncensored route.[video_embed id='1954743']RELATED: How to make the perfect DIY flowers for mom[/video_embed]

The heartfelt roundups

One thing most moms can agree on is that motherhood is a journey. There are ups, downs, strange moments, happy memories and everything in between. Plenty of celeb moms got real about their experiences and shared some adorable pics while doing so this Mother’s Day. From JLo’s honesty and Mindy Kaling’s musings about her own late mum, to sweet snaps from Gabrielle Union, Cardi B. and Kylie Jenner, fans were very much into these personalized family photos.

This photo was taken by my beautiful friend @elizabethmessina just a month before I became a mama for the 1st time. Now, I’ve been blessed to have created, carried, nourished, and continue to raise 5 amazing human beings. Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau I love you with all my heart and soul. And, Jack my bonus babe in life I love you so much. Mom hood is a privilege. An opportunity and a test to create and teach and love selflessly. I wear my scars and marks with pride. I thank my body for growing and nurturing life 5 times. I thank my husband for choosing to create life with me and love me. And, I thank myself! I rarely make me time and am quite hard on myself. But today, I take a moment to accept that I deserve every bit of love I get daily from my babies. I love from the deepest of my soul with all my heart. That love is returned because I give it unconditionally. All my love and blessings to all moms across the world. Love always wins. Love with all your heart. Everyday. The greatest love we will ever know in life is being moms. Nothing else will ever compare and no greater job in the world! Xoxo #happymothersday

Shout-outs from the dads

Sometimes moms just need someone else to toot their horn and appreciate all of the hard things they do—especially right now with physical distancing, home-schooling and zero breaks. Proving that they’re the partners with the most, Cary Hart, Joshua Jackson, Benji Madden, JT and John Legend all got in on the action and recognized the sacrifices their leading ladies have made for their families. Even Jay Cutler, who is going through a very public divorce with Kristin Cavallari, took some time out to thank the other of children.

Dear Jodie, On this most special of mothers days I want to thank you for the being the light that you are. For the the passion with which you threw yourself into nurturing and protecting our child when she was in your womb. For the dedication and will you showed bringing her into the world. I have never witnessed a more powerful being than you through those moments. Thank you for the depth of grace you have found since our daughter has arrived. The commitment that you make look so effortless but I know is anything but. Thank you for making me a father. For trusting me enough to embark on this journey together. I am humbled more and more every day by that. I love you. I love seeing you enter the pantheon of mothers. And I look forward to walking this path by your side as we nurture this little engine of joy you have blessed the world with.

Best Wishes for All the Mother’s, we’re all lucky to have you ?It’s special day for us this year, Forever grateful to my wife for making me a Father, and taking such good care of us everyday. Best Mom and Wife and Friend. Wether waking up extra early to take care of everyone (3 humans and a dozen animals) or doing all the research and reading to make sure we try our best to be good parents for our daughter, she’s a force of nature and I’m very grateful. 6 years together just get more meaningful and true love each day. What a blessing. For me, I think wise to remind ourselves everyday, when we have a rare special person like this in our life, not to be the foolish person who takes it for granted. Fact is, No matter what happens at work, or what the world thinks/says, Cherish the Mothers and you can’t lose. Everything else you’ll be able to figure out- Happy home is worth more than Gold? Thank G-D for Moms❤️❤️❤️Happy Mother’s Day ❤️?❤️?❤️??????❤️❤️❤️??????
