Everyone knows that the suburban moms are "mom goals," and surely most girls aspire to be them someday. While everyone dreams of someday achieving "suburban mom status," some of us are just already a little closer than others. If you say "same" to most of the following, you're certainly on your way to suburban mom success.

1. You were a nanny as a teen.

Giphy

It takes a special kind of person to spend hours a day around children, especially those who are not your own.

2. You shopped around in the baby section to look at cute clothes before having kids of your own.

Giphy

While most teenage girls spend out their days searching for the perfect outfit for themselves, some of us would rather dream about the adorable outfits our future kids will wear.

3. You are comfortable driving a mini-van.

Giphy

Driving a boat for a car is simply something most of us would rather not do, unless of course, you're determined to take on the role of classic suburban mom.

4. You already have TONS of Lululemon.

Giphy

What else are you going to wear grocery shopping? You wouldn't be caught dead in something as low as off-brand leggings.

5. You love to cook and bake.

Giphy

Something has to get you ready for nightly home-cooked meals and freshly baked cookies for after-school playdates.

6. You basically already have an obsession with organic foods.

Giphy

You may not know what "GMO" is, but you do know that "non" is the way to go.

7. You plan to stay at home through their childhood (obviously).

Giphy

No matter what your career aspirations are, they will surely be put on hold until your children are in elementary school, at the least!

8. You and your friends have already planned play groups for your future kids.

Giphy

Because spending those stay-at-home days all alone as simply not an option, and your children will clearly be their children's best friends as well.

9. You've had your children's names picked out since forever.

Giphy

The list created on the notes section of your iPhone are the only options, your husband has no choice in the matter. Middle names could be up for discussion, if he's lucky.

10. You love the gym, and already have a membership.

Giphy

After all, you need somewhere to wear all of those lulu clothes.

11. You know all the cool kids places in town.

Giphy

Maybe from your nanny kids, maybe from your own curiosity. Parks, museums, and exhibits have created a never-ending list that your children just must experience.

12. You have a Pinterest account, and avidly post about your future.

Giphy

Future Wedding, Future Dream House, and Future Kids boards are among your most frequently pinned to.

13. You are perfectly content just watching kids play and be themselves.

Giphy

Your house is sure to be the place everyone wants to be at, because your favorite pass time is watching your kiddos play with their countless new toys, that simply pile up in glory.

14. You live your life by a planner, which is kept with you at all times.

Giphy

Brand-name and color-coded, every sports practice, PTA meeting, and play date are penciled in at least 2 weeks in advance.

15. You love volunteering your time.

Giphy

From PTA to being on the board of the kids' sports teams, you're the guarantee go-to person to get everything done.

16. You're obsessed with yoga.

Giphy

It's the best way to greet each day and guarantee that you'll be at your best.

17. You already have plans for the sports your kids will play.

Giphy

Dance from 5-6, followed by gymnastics every Tuesday/ Thursday and soccer on the weekends. Hopefully they're ready, because surely they'll be the best on every team.

18. You have a blog, and will totally continue it for your family.

Giphy

How else will all your distant relatives know of the A your first grader got on her spelling test and the tooth that the kindergartener lost last week? It is crucial that they all stay up-to-date on your kids' vital accomplishments.

19. You're coffee obsessed.

Giphy

You start out each day with your favorite barista who knows your go-to drink, and the coffee shop around the corner is the most common place to meet up with all your other stay-at-home suburban mom gal-pals in the area.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
