Get the On Mommie mug.Momity is what you call someone that fills the hole in your heart from not having a mother. She isn't a mom, she isn't a stepmom either, but really she's something much more special then that. It doesn't take knowing her well or talking to her often to know that she cares about you anyway. And, even though she's your momity, she makes you wish you could be there for her more then you have, because she is always there for you, and because she always manages to turn your frown upside down when you’re having a bad day, no matter how bad of a day it is. If you have a momity, always remember that they're an irreplaceable individual, you can only ever have one momity, so you need to make the one you have count, always love your momity and never forget how much they do to make you smile... even when it's unintentional.

Get the momity mug.The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books by Finnish writer Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish. They are a family of Scandinavian trolls who are white, round and furry in appearance, with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses. The carefree and adventurous family live in their house in Moominvalley, though in the past their residences have included a lighthouse and a theatre.
Moomintroll - the main character of most of the books, a spirited teenager with a keen sense of adventure and fun, and a generous spirit.
