Moms are used to hearing advice from every possible corner of their lives -- friends at playgroup, teachers at school, mommy blogs, and, of course, their own mothers.
But sometimes the very best, most endearing advice comes from the mouths of babes. After all, who else knows best about the true impact, warmth and love of a mother than children themselves?

This Mother's Day, we're celebrating the quirky, beautiful pieces of advice kids give moms without even realizing the extent their words ring true.
