Which Real Mom Are You? Headbands for Every Mom Type


4 minute read

We all know those mom types at the play date, sporting event or birthday party. Ready to find out which one YOU are? Check out this list of "real mom's" and the Lilac Market Headband that's perfect for each one!

You've heard of those certain motherly personality type tests that label you with the same old boring titles: like "helicopter mom". Can't they come up with anything more interesting, or even real, then that?

We think the true-to life-moms are the best, so we matched a headband for those unique mamas you know and love!

Keep reading for our list of real mom types. Which one are you?

This Mama loves to have their cake AND eat it! She'll happily pack up the kiddos for a little retail therapy to get them a cute new outfit while grabbing a couple essentials, Starbucks in hand and saying a quick "hello" to their friend they meet in the deals aisle. It's highly likely that this sacred routine started well before children were in the picture.


Some Moms never change! This mother leans on her elder fellow-parents for advice, and expects her kiddos to be polite at the dinner table and finish up the last of that chore before going to play. While her standards may seem a tiny bit high, you can almost always trust her advice is sound.


The most lovable mess, this Mum is happy to prioritize her babies over all! She's got a lot going on, and she doesn't sweat the small stuff, but secretly wishes she could just manage to get that laundry both folded AND put away. Snuggling her kids or taking them to the park is definitely way more fun than organizing the pantry, and we all know it.


This Momma is the queen of her independent brood! Keeping a hands-off approach when it comes to problem solving, this mom says that self-education is best and allows for lighter supervision. Except for that one time their child said they found "chocolate balls" in the chicken coop, it's always a fun play date at her little farm.


She's not like a regular mom! Rules are boring, and this mamma would rather go to the skate park or let you use her make up, as long as she gets to join in the fun. She may get a little too heartbroken when the little ones would rather hang out with each other, but she's always there for them when they need.

Mom's deep in their feelings will relate! With every item too sentimental to part with, the worst day of this mom's life was... well, at basically every single milestone. It's nothing a 2-hour phone call won't settle, but you do remind her that it's actually going to be awesome now that their littlest one is potty-trained.

Heads up, this mother has no room for secrets! This open-book personality type is the mom who will just ask if you also had that weird postpartum belly rash, too. Maybe you didn't want to know that their kid just got over wiping their boogers under the front car seat (of which you were just in when she picked you up), but you never have to feel ashamed around her.

Cheers to this Mama! You're most likely to find her in a Whole Foods, grabbing this week's haul just in time for her bonfire podcast night in the backyard while the kids burn after-dinner energy. Sometimes you just need to take the edge off of parenting. At least you know you won't be thirsty in her house!
