In Mother’s Day, Kate Hudson plays a woman who’s trying to rebuild her rocky relationship with her mom. But off-camera, Hudson is more focused on being a good parent herself. In InStyle’s May cover story—on newsstands and available for digital download now—the star sounds off on all things motherhood, and while she admits to sometimes feeling “like a bad mom,” she’s certainly always a cool one.

VIDEO: Kate Hudson and Her Son Show Off Their Matching Buzz Cuts

A quick scroll through Hudson’s Instagram feed proves why she’s a must-watch mama both on-camera and off—and in honor of her latest film hitting theaters tomorrow (April 29), we’ve rounded up 23 times that Hudson proved she’s one of the coolest moms in the ‘gram game. Scroll down to check them out below.
