Ever heard about a job with no pay, where you’re on duty 24/7 and will have to undergo severe changes, physically and mentally? Cardstore released an ad in 2014 that highlighted how tough it was to be a mother. With mother’s day around the corner (it’s Sunday, for those of you who don’t know) Paul Writer decided to take a walk down memory lane and revisit our favorite mother’s day ads.

Amazon #MomBeAGirlAgain
Amazon’s #MomBeAGirlAgain campaign was well-received by the viewers. The ads featured children presenting their mothers with gifts from Amazon that would have them relive their youth. This ad displays a daughter who goes to study in a boarding school where her mother studied too. It’s here that she learns from a coach that her mother was a legendary football player. We won’t give away the rest of the story, you can watch it for yourself.
