My mom and I love to go to musicals together, especially in December. She used to be a season ticket holder at Seattle’s 5th Avenue theater before she and my dad became snowbirds. I’m still a season ticket holder and at least once a season, if there’s a show she wants to see, one of use will get her a ticket as close to my seat as possible so we can see it together.

Although my mom and I haven’t always seen eye to eye, what she has done for me and my siblings cannot be truly expressed in a comment. She’s been essentially two parents in one. Growing up, I had to save money to buy the things that I wanted, big or small. Almost every time we went to the grocery store, I anticipated the candy that would await my selection near the cash register. I’d scan for some of my favorites like Kit Kat, Sour Gummi Worms (was obsessed with the blue/pink ones because the color alone reminded me of cotton candy) and Peach Rings. Choosing only one, I’d place it on the conveyor belt alongside the groceries and right on time my mom would say to me, “Did you bring your money?” LOL. It’s a bittersweet memory, but the question is a running joke in our family now! It would be funny if I took her to Lolli & Pops and (in spirit of April Fooling her) tell her to fill as many bags as she wants to the top because it’s priced per bag, only to see her being informed later at the register the total by weight and I, standing right next to her highly amused, say “Did you bring your money?” XD I love you Mom!

My momma has always been my rock, she’s been by my side through it all and has always supported me in everything I have done or put my mind to. She’s become my best friend and the best Gigi to my daughter, I don’t know where I would be without her. She’s my voice of reason, sounding board and the best mom I could have ever asked for. My daughter adores her and they have the best relationship. Nothing has been better seeing my mom become Gigi and the love she has for my little girl.

My mom is my hero <3 She was the only girl out of 5 brothers and me being the only girl out of two brothers, she has always taught me how to be strong and independent as a girl growing up. She worked really hard growing up and still found the time to be the best parent to all of us. She made Easter baskets every year out to Lolli & Pops candy which was our favorite candy time (besides halloween). She loves to help everyone and even became a foster parent once we all grew up to give kids the chance of a nice home and loving parent. She’s the best and she deserves more than I could offer!

I always loved the holidays with baking in the kitchen with my mother. The tradition of getting Thanksgiving dinner ready with the parade on the TV. I try to create those memories for my children.

My mom is the best, I have a single mom my mom has help me so much…

My mom always let me stay home from school when my allergies were bad or I wasn’t feeling well in the morning. I enjoyed our time alone in the car when she would take me into school late. Being the oldest of five, I didn’t get a lot of alone time with her.

I haven’t seen daughter in a year due to traveling and she will be coming over to see me and I would love to take her to this.

How sweet and sour our lives are !!! I’d do this with my daughter and ask questions about how each candy describes our lives!! She has a special needs brother and has been such a great sister

My mom is my hero, my rock, and my best friend. She is a single mother who made the decision to travel all the way to China to adopt me, and I am forever grateful for the sacrifices she made to bring me home. From the moment I met her, I knew that I was loved, and as I grew up, our bond only grew stronger. We’ve been through so much together, and no matter what challenges we faced, my mom was always there to support me and lift me up. One of my favorite things to do with my mom is to cook. We’ve always loved experimenting with new recipes, trying out new ingredients, and creating our own delicious dishes. It’s been a way my mom helps keep me close to my heritage. There’s something magical about the way we work together in the kitchen. As we chop, stir, and taste, we talk about our days, share stories, and laugh together. It’s our special time, and I treasure every moment we spend cooking together. I feel so blessed to have my mom in my life. She is a shining example of courage, strength, and love.

My name is Carlee , I feel my Mother is the best because when things aren’t going right for her family she’s always there to support her 4 kids. She has been the breadwinner making sure we have the things we needed. She’s a great supporter, she smiles even though things can be difficult. She a very loving and giving woman. In my eyesight she a ROCKSTAR!! Her smile is GOLDEN. My most memorable memory is when Hurricane Katrina hit my Mother made sure her family and friends were safe and out of harm’s way. I seen her struggle to get back on her feet and she helped everyone get relocated after the Katrina disaster. I always wanted to thank her for being strong and caring.❤️

my mom worked very hard to provide for all 3 of her children, she had crazy hours and we raised ourselves a lot of the time. however, there would be days where she would stay home from work and skip us from school and we would all lay in her big bed together and watch all our favorite movies. she would order us pizza for dinner and read us our favorite books. those days were rare, but they meant the world to us. i get weapy just thinking about how wonderful those days were to me. and i am so happy i carry that tradition on with my own children.

My Mom painted my room when I was away at camp, pink with curly stencils on the top. Even the air was pink in my room!

My mom and I have always been really close. She’s the person that I always seek approval from. Sometimes we’re so alike that it actually freaks some people out. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times we’ve been thought of as sisters when in public. I always try to go out of my way to make things easier for my mom because she does way more than she has to and that’s why she is and always will be my role model for when I decide to have children.

My mom is my absolute hero. She raised four kids and when I was 16 years old, we lost my dad who was also the breadwinner. She had been a stay at home mom. This is when I saw what a hero was. This woman got three jobs she held down while still being the best mom in the entire world. She turned her heavy volunteering at the elementary school into a paraeducator job while working in the deli at the grocery store and delivery driving at night. Eventually us kids grew up, as I am now 31. And she is officially retiring from the elementary school this year at 64. I live for the time we get together. She is all I have left. We bond over puzzles and great movies. I still remember her sharing Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret as a young girl. (My moms name is Margarete so it felt close to home). Would love to share this film with her now as a way to go down memory lane together.

Hi my name is Jennifer and my mom and I have a great relationship. She has been there for all three of us kids. She raised us herself as best as she could. She has dealt with losing her oldest daughter to two types of cancer at the age of 38.

My mom is very caring to me, we pretty much do almost everything together. We love each other very much I don’t know what would I do without her in my life. But anyways, because of all the hard work she does by raising me and taking good care of me, she deserves the best and be rewarded once in a great while.

My mom and I like to go to the beach together. We’ve been to the ones in our home state of New Jersey as well as Maryland, and Florida. Our favorite vacation together though was in the Bahamas where the sand is soft, the water is warm, and there is lots of candy to enjoy.

My mom is my best friend, she works so hard for me and my family. She could really use the time for me and her by ourselves she deserves all the time in the world, she deserves everything but a daughter can only do so much for her mom I want to do everything for her because I love her and this could be one of those things she deserves one of these things. Thank you for reading

My mother was always too busy with her life to make herself happy. She had kids quite young and not on purpose. She never took me to these American stores so it was just this year when I had my first “kid in a candy shop” experience. I’m 15 and I can’t pay for food and my mother is still unemployed. She has a big sweet tooth and loves holidays since they’re excuses to spend a bit of money on candies and treats. I haven’t been out with her in a few years, but every year we’ve tried to go to California or go travel out of state and come back with treats from wherever. Though this year it’s not looking like we can afford to, I’d like my mom to be able to try treats without feeling guilty. She and I used to play chess and drink tea while trying a candy from some place new, I’d like to be able to do that again some day.

My mom and I have a relationship more like best friends. Even as a 33 year old we do everything together. She’s a superstar. She’s my manager, cheerleader, workout buddy, partner in crime and no matter what she’s always there for me and I will always be there for her. We are constantly traveling for my profession and I know she could use a nice relaxing movie date and candy binge for a Change and lolli and pop is our favorite luxury treat. When we travel we always stop at movie theaters and just get movie theater popcorn eat it at home (movie theater popcorn is the best) but to pair that with lolli and pop candy would be heaven. We all deserve moments especially for us and this would make a lovely simple sweet caring way for my mom to be able to remember that she deserves a little extra and I would love to help achieve that.

My favorite Mom & Me memory isn’t just one specific memory, but all the fun times I had with her as my troop leader. She would always setup these amazing activities and presentations. Now as an adult, and a mom myself, I truly appreciate the time and energy it took to make those special memories. I love you mom and thank you for guiding me to become a strong, confident, and empowered woman. ¡Te amo!

My mom is my best friend and I would do anything for her! She is funny, resourceful and creative. She blesses all the lives she touches. My mom is truly my favorite person in the world.

My mom sacrificed a lot while raising my siblings and me. She didn’t have a whole lot of money to work with but she always made sure we had all our necessities. I really loved the moments when she took my brothers and me crabbing down in Galveston. Those moments will always stay with me. It was always a lot of fun.

My mom is one of the greatest people I know, she’s inspired me so much throughout my life, she’s achieved so much, when she was younger she was in her own band, which included her brother and my grandma. She’s helped me through school with my homework and projects, and whatever issues I had. I couldn’t ask for a better mom.

One of my fondest memories with my mom growing up is when she would take my brother and I to the candy store. She was a hard working mom at the post office, but she would always find energy to take us places, especially in the summer. I would love to show my mom how much I appreciate her by taking her down memory lane!

I don’t have a mom anymore BUT, my sister-in-law has been just like one since I lost mine to a long cancer battle several years ago. She is one of the most caring, sweet person I know. Sometimes when there is no real mother for many reasons, there is the "mom 2,0 that will be there to catch you and take care of you when you need it most.

My kiddos told me they were planning a special dinner, sweet treat, having daddy get me a chai latte, and they also did a cute chicken dance for me on my birthday! It was super cute and I always tell them all the presents I need are hugs and kisses and for us to spend time together for my birthday and during the holidays! Of course they love receiving presents too so some of those as well, but most important is family time together.

I miss my mom, my best friend. She was my Scrabble partner. My lovely daughter now has two beautiful daughters of her own and an awesome son. I am also mother to a wonderful son. We would all enjoy a Lolli & Pops shopping spree and movie tickets. “Are You There God? It’s me, Margaret.” looks like a must-see movie. Looking forward to its’ release.

I’m a parent to a 7 year old, I work a lot so I never really get to spend enough time with her. On my days off we go to the park, shopping, or play outside.

My mom is a rockstar! She has one of those smiles that silently relays, “Everything’s going to be alright, darling.” And, it’s true! She’s supported me and my sister through our curious toddler years, daredevil teens, and into young adulthood. Now, I’m a mom to two-under-2 babies, and get to enjoy seeing her relive her parenting joys as a Grandma, :-). Discovering Lolli & Pops brought the sweet childhood days of summer flooding in for both of us. Lemonade stands, opening night at the Minor League Baseball game with freshly popped popcorn, and homemade rice krispy treats, here we come!

My mom bought me this book back in the 70’s and I still have the copy to this date. Mom always encouraged me to read growing up and we’re both avid readers with an absolute love for books!! I can’t wait to see the movie as this was TRULY my favorite book growing up as was Judy Blume as my favorite author. Super excited!!
