Mom’s Hilarious “Missed Connections” Post To Another Woman At Target Goes Viral.

Kentucky wife and mom Nikki Pennington is keeping it real for all the mama’s out there.

In her blog– Grief To Hope–she’s totally honest about the everyday struggles and joys of parenting after the loss of her mother. But she also writes about everything from marriage advice to hilarious anecdotes to which every mom can relate.

Now one of her most recent posts–featuring a cup of Starbucks coffee in a Target craft’s aisle–is going viral.

It’s a missed connections post– you know, like the ones you see on Craigslist– but Nikki wasn’t trying to connect with a potential lover; she realized while shopping in Target, that she had spotted a potential bestie.

“To The Mom In Target,”writes Nikki.


You were at Target last night about 7pm in the crayon aisle. I was wearing my mom couture complete with dry shampoo hair, no makeup, yesterday’s T-shirt and yoga pants.

You were also wearing yoga pants with flip flops and a messy bun. The venti Starbucks in your hand was a dead giveaway that even though you were wearing yoga pants you had in fact not come from the gym. I know because I was doing the exact same thing #yogapantsarelife.

I tried to glance at your cup to see the name of my future BMFF (best mom friend forever) but let’s be honest, at my age I’m on the verge of needing readers to see that far away.

In your cart you had diapers, soda, wine and chocolate. Again, confirming my suspicions that we in fact were meant to be best mom friends.

Our carts hit once as we rounded the corner from aimlessly pretending to be shopping for something in our favorite store when in reality we were both just having a mom’s night out. I mean we all know that’s where all moms go for a night out.

So, to the fellow mom in Target last night at 7pm, if you see this and recognize this story and my Starbucks drink please know I’ll be back at Target again next week because let’s be honest, I live there.

Maybe I’ll see you again, same time, same aisle and this time we can wander around aimlessly in Target together for our moms night out.


Here’s hoping Nikki finds her BMFF!
