To celebrate moms this Sunday, we’re sharing some of the touching tributes we received and the heartwarming photos we took as part of this year’s Tribute Tree campaign. Thank you to the mothers of the world who encourage our girls to believe in themselves, to try their best and to make their wildest dreams come true.
Happy Mother’s Day to you all.
