May 11 / Motherhood Monday

1. "Someday (I Will Understand)" by Britney Spears; When Eva was really into Britney Spears growing up, this was a song her mom and her would sing a long to. She said it was relatable and hoped for her to feel the same way if she ever wanted to become a mom. 2. “Dear Mama” by 2pac; This song is dedicated to the love of a mother and how important a mother is. 2pac is able express the appreciation for a mother, one Eva can identify with. She knows the hard work and pure love her mother put into raising two daughters. 3. "House of Gold" by Twenty One Pilots;  To me this song is about a Mom asking once dad is gone or whatever is thrown at us that you won’t forget about her. Of course, the son tells her that she is the most important person and he would always take care of her and build her “a house of gold.” 4. "Perfect Fan" by Backstreet Boys; This song is dedicated again to the beautiful moms in the world. Thanking them for always being there to support and nurture while also teaching us how to “walk without their hands.” Eva is definitely grateful for her mom being supportive of her move to the states. 5. "I Got It From My Mama" by Will.i.am; This song says it all. Eva’s charm and good looks are all because of her mama. Her and her sister are physically the same height and build like their mother. 6. "Your Mother Should Know" by The Beatles; This is a song about giving your mom more credit, she knows more than you think. The years have made her wiser and smarter. 7. "Does Your Mother Know?" by ABBA; Every time Eva was out and about doing something she shouldn’t be doing or asking herself what would her mother think, this song comes in mind. ABBA is Eva’s moms favorite 70s quartet. It just reminds her of mom dancing and singing along to anything ABBA. 8. "Mother Knows Best" by Mother Gothel in Disney's Tangled; When Tangled came out, Eva remembered her mom being the complete opposite of Mother Gothel from the movie. She has always been loving, caring, and unconditionally supportive. She has shown Eva the world and has encouraged her to pursuit her career unlike Mother Gothel who selfishly wants Rapunzel all to herself. 9. "Mother" by Kacey Musgraves; The lyrics just hit home for Eva because moving away from her family, especially her mom was the toughest. She hates not being able to share all of her life from the OC with her, but knows this is where she belongs at the moment due to her career. "Wish we didn't live, wish we didn't live so far from each other/ I'm just sitting here there/ Thinking 'about the time that's slipping/ And missing her mother, mother." 9. "The Best Day" by Taylor Swift;  This song is all about her mom's positive influence on her when she was growing up and the one special occasion they shared together. Of course, it is something Eva can relate to because she has a strong bond with her momma. 10. "Mom" by Meghan Trainor and Kelli Trainor; The lyrics such "Ain't nobody got a mom like mine. Her love's 'til the end, she's my best friend." hit Eva home. She loves her mom and is forever grateful for her.
