Your Mama Wears Last Year's Combat Boots

Your Mama Wears Last Year's Combat Boots

If I woke up Mother's Day morning to two smiling children bearing breakfast I would be delighted. If I woke up to two smiling children bearing breakfast and roses I would be extra-delighted. But if I woke up to two smiling children wearing the super cute screenprinted My Mom Is Cooler than Your Mom tee I think I would just collapse from the joy.

Provided those children were my own. Of course.

Find it at Childish, along with tons of awesome gear from bona fide rock mama (and all around amazing gal) Skye Hoppus. Hope you're reading, cool dads. -Liz
