15 Signs That You and Your Mom Are BFFs

I have no shame in telling you that my mom is my best friend in the whole world. Nobody knows me better than her, and now that I have gotten older, it's easy to see how much we have in common. She's my biggest cheerleader, and I look to her for advice on a daily basis (phone calls are a must!). Even when I feel like the world's against me, she's by my side. I know I'm not the only one out there with an incredibly cool mother, so here are 15 signs that your mom is your BFF.
