#MCM -- My So Called Life

#MomCrushMonday

This week our mom crush is EPIC.  SO epic that we both shared the exact same article she was interviewed for.. and then texted each other about it.

We have LOVED Claire Danes since we were in Middle School. 

 

 My So Called Life spoke to us.

It taught us that being different was ok, and that friends are FAMILY. It also taught us about the birds & the bees, drugs, and the dangers of boozing too hard too young. Rayanne was the cool girl, but Angela – she was all of us teenage girls…  Also – we ALL wanted a best friend like Rickie and wanted Jordan Catalano to LOVE US TOO (we still do Jared Leto.. come over ANYTIME).

We loved her in Romeo + Juliet

(while being secretly were jealous of her because she got to underwater kiss Leonardo DiCaprio).

Homeland is our guilty pleasure.

She plays a seriously flawed character, who we continue to root for.

She also worked on season two until she was 8 months pregnant.

She’s also super bad ass on the show (until she forgets to take her meds)

She’s a Lady Lover

Interview after interview she just says what we are all thinking. Being a Mom is hard – but WORTH IT.  Being a Woman is HARD – but that’s why we have to work hard!  She said in an article this week:  "I care about things; therefore, I have fears. I like to think that I'm brave, which is different. Brave means you're able to admit that you care. If you care, you are vulnerable."

Well girlfriend -- we think you are the MOST brave.  You take roles that are challenging.  You make conscious choices with your children and the media, and you are beautiful inside & out.

And for that – you are our Mom CRUSH!
