    Top 5 Wednesday: Best Moms

Molly Weasley from Harry Potter She’s undoubtedly the best mother figure and handles 7 children, as well as Harry, with ease. She’s got this mothering thing down. I wouldn’t mind a trip to the Burrow myself. 2. Mindy from Eleanor and Park She’s real, and I think that’s my favorite thing about her.

Natalie Prior from Divergent Natalie is one of…
