15 Times When Kourtney Kardashian Was The Best Mom Ever
Kourtney Kardashian first rose to fame when Keeping Up with the Kardashians started in 2007, and lots of people warmed to her for her sense of humor and style.
After two years of filming for the show, she gave birth to her first son Mason Dash Disick on December 14th, 2009. Since then she has had another two children; Penelope Scotland Disick and Reign Aston Disick (who was born on Mason's fifth birthday, so the pair share a birthday!)She gained thousands of new fans as a caring, loving mom - especially since so much of her parenting is shown to the public! From throwing awesome birthday parties to making sure her kids never miss their dance classes, she proved that she was one of the best celebrity moms out there.
With a career as a reality TV star and model, as well as running a clothing chain and a popular app, Kourtney's life is definitely hectic - but she never struggles to find time for her children. Here are 15 times when Kourtney Kardashian was the best mom ever.
15 When She Took Them To Disneyland
Kourtney may be a busy woman, but she has found the time to take all of her children to Disneyland - multiple times! The popular resort is the perfect holiday location for children, but it can be pretty exhausting for parents. Despite that, she still chooses to take her children to a resort that they will love, rather than taking them to a luxury resort that she might prefer.
She uploaded this snap to Instagram while her and her children celebrated North's third birthday. She got into the spirit of the outing by teaming her practical outfit with some super cute sparkly Micky Mouse ears and a Micky Mouse top. Penelope wasn't to be outdone, wearing an adorable Micky Mouse dress. The pair looked very happy together, and in other pictures, you can see Kourtney carrying her tired children on her arm - even though we bet she is just as tired herself! The pictures showed a truly happy family time, and we're sure she will treasure them for a long time.
14 When She Threw Penelope A Mermaid-Themed Birthday Party
Who could forget these sweet pictures of the Kardashian children as mermaids? Kourtney and Kim threw Penelope and North the ultimate joint birthday bash, which was mermaid themed - Penelope and North's birthdays are just three weeks apart, so this was the perfect way to celebrate. They even had a cake each; the cakes were matching three tier cakes with a picture of each girl on the top, set against a pink background!
For most little girls, getting to dress as a mermaid is like a dream come true. North, who turned three, wore a blue sparkly bikini top with purple scales, and Penelope, who turned four, wore a starfish-shaped bikini top with her turquoise tail. The pair looked gorgeous, and you know that it was all down to their wonderful moms. They spent time planning and arranging the perfect party so that their daughters would have an amazing day - which is something any great mom would do for their child.
13 When She Took Her Children To The Beach (Instead Of Going To The Met Gala)
Most children love a trip to the beach, and it seems that Mason, Penelope, and Reign are no exception. While the other members of the Kardashian family attended the Met Gala in New York City on Monday night, Kourtney spent the night at home so that she could take her children to the beach the next day.
She went to a beach in Florida with her children and Kardashian family friend Pastor Rich Wilkerson on May 3rd, and she looked seriously beautiful in a black one-piece by Onia. She didn't spend the day tanning, and instead devoted all of her time to her children. She was seen venturing into the ocean with Penelope in her arms (who was also dressed stylishly in a swimsuit by Mara Hoffman). Afterward, she sat down to relax with Penelope, and the pair watched the two boys play.Although she could have chosen to go to the Met Gala, Kourtney preferred to spend some down time with her three children - which most moms will be able to relate to!
12 When She Goes On Mom-Son Days With Reign
Reign is the youngest of Kourtney's children, and the least photographed. However, the pair recently managed to enjoy some alone time without Mason or Penelope. The pair spent the day out in Calabasas, California, and it looked like a relaxing bonding experience. Kourtney dressed down in gym wear and APL 'Prism' trainers, and Reign spent the whole day sat on her hip with a protective arm wrapped around him.
It is very important for moms to spend time bonding individually with each of their children, and a close mother-son relationship has been proven to be good for a boy's mental health. A study presented at the American Psychological Association found that boys who are close to their mothers are less likely to become super-masculine stereotypes; instead, they know that they don't always need to act tough and that they can express their emotions freely. Kourtney may be a busy woman, but she always prioritizes her children.
11 When She Told Kris Jenner Not To Say The Word 'Fat' In Front Of Her Daughter
In an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kris Jenner asked her daughter, “Do I look fat?” Kourtney Kardashian, who was in the middle of eating her dinner, quickly responded with; “Don't use that word in front of my daughter, please.”
“Okay,” Kris replied, with slight laughter.
“My son, he uses that word in front of my daughter all day,” Kourtney continued. “It's what he calls the paparazzi.”
The brief exchange ended there, but for most women, it stood out as an important moment. No moms want to raise their daughter to have body confidence issues, but it can be difficult in today's society. Women face judgment from others from a very young age, and Kourtney is clearly aware of this. She doesn't want her daughter to grow up feeling insecure or unconfident, and choosing not to make her aware of issues like being 'fat' or 'thin' is a great way to maintain her innocence.
10 When The Whole Family Dressed Up As Super Heroes
Every child loves Halloween; the candy, the costumes, and the parties all make Halloween one of the most child-friendly holidays. For Mason, Penelope and Reign, Halloween was a pretty spectacular occasion - especially since mom Kourtney dressed up with them. The mom-of-three wore a skin tight gold Wonder Woman outfit, and no doubt her children thought that she looked amazing.
Penelope dressed up as a ballerina superhero, and she looked totally adorable. Mason went for a cool superhero outfit, and Reign looked similar in his mini-super hero costume. Their cousin North joined them for the celebrations, and she wore a super-cute unicorn outfit.
Halloween is always exciting, but it is definitely more exciting for children when their mom joins in the fun and dresses up too. Instead of quickly running her children around the neighborhood to trick or treat, Kourtney threw herself into the festivities and turned Halloween into a fun bonding experience for the whole family.
9 When Kourtney Makes Sure That Her Children Are Safe
When you're a child of a Kardashian, there isn't much that you want for in life. Kourtney and Kim and lucky enough to be able to give their children amazing gifts for their birthdays and Christmas - but for Kourtney, the number one priority is the safety of her children.
Penelope and Mason look seriously cute in this snap of them playing together on their little yellow trike. In the picture Mason is taking charge of the trike, riding Penelope around as she stands on the platform at the back - but the main thing that stands out in the image is their helmets. We are very happy to see that Kourtney takes health and safety seriously, making sure that both her children are wearing bright blue safety helmets.
All moms should be concerned with their child's safety, even though sometimes the child doesn't understand why! It may seem 'boring' to her children, but Kourtney doesn't care so long as they are safe.
8 When She Took Her Children To Tyga's Son's Birthday Party
Kourtney Kardashian was seen with her children when they arrived at Tyga's son King Cairo's birthday party at Racer's Edge in Burbank, California on a warm Friday afternoon.
The star seemed to be having a fun day with her children and niece North, and she made sure that all of the children were having a great time. Her eldest son Mason, who was rocking a super-stylish pair of black Timberland shoes, was seen enjoying himself on an inflatable ride with North, and the whole family was there - even 10-month-old Reign.
No child likes to miss a birthday party; especially one as awesome as King Cairo! You can rely on celebrities to throw their children the best birthday bashes, and Kourtney makes sure that her children never miss out on these amazing experiences. Not many children get to go on such extravagant playdates - and Kourtney stayed for the whole party, making sure that her kids were having fun.
7 When She Takes Her Children To Music Class
Kourtney seems to be a very hands-on mom, despite her extremely busy lifestyle. She is frequently photographed taking her children to their music classes, even when her on-and-off again boyfriend Scott Disick is nowhere to be seen.
After the media covered Scott's heavy night of drinking and partying until 5AM with a mystery blonde, Kourtney was still up bright and early to make sure that her children attended their music class. She was seen taking their youngest children Penelope and Reign to their music class near her home, and the whole family was dressed in coordinating black outfits. Penelope was wearing a stylish pair of black Doc Martins, and she was holding her baby doll possessively. The family looked relaxed and casual, even with the paparazzi following them. Even though it was undoubtedly difficult for her, she understands that you can't take a time out from parenting - it is a 24/7 job!
6 When She Took Them To The Toy Store
Every child loves visiting the toy store, and it is always guaranteed to be a fun day out. Kourtney has been snapped at the toy store with her children on lots of different occasions, and she always makes sure to buy them awesome gifts. This truck looks like the perfect toy to get all of the children playing together!
She was seen at Crazy For Toys on a recent Sunday afternoon, and she treated Penelope and Mason to some seriously cool toys. She was also photographed a few months beforehand at Toy Crazy when she came out with a big bag of goodies - we're certain that her children were very happy about that!
Trips to the toy store can get expensive, but every child deserves a treat now and then. And let's be honest; the easiest way to put a smile on your child's face is to offer them a new, shiny toy!
5 When She Takes Penelope And North To Dance Classes
Kourtney often shares pictures of her daughter Penelope in a dance studio on Instagram. In one snap her and her partner Scott Disick's daughter is wearing black tap-dancing shoes, a white tank top, and black tutu. "Tap shuffle step," Kourtney captioned the adorable picture.
The media is usually filled with pictures of Kourtney taking her children to their various classes and clubs, and she is also often seen taking Penelope's cousin North to dance classes. She clearly wants her children and niece to learn lots of skills, rather than relying on the family for money when they grow up. All good moms know how important it is to encourage your child's skills, as it helps them to be more confident and successful adults. Even though she is a very busy woman, she always finds the time to personally take her children to their classes - and no doubt her children enjoy the regular walks together.
4 When They Were Dressed Super Stylishly
Penelope, Mason, and Reign Disick are all unquestionably stylish - they clearly inherited the Kardashian love of style and fashion! Of course, it helps that their mom has the money to deck them out in head-to-toe designer wear, but they often put their own outfits together; Penelope is often seen out and about in her mom's oversized t-shirts!
Clearly, Kourtney lets her children wear what they want, and we love her relaxed attitude. Sometimes children want to look cool and grown-up, and sometimes they just want to wear their mom's top. We totally get it - that's what being a child is all about. However, it is hard not to be jealous when you see children that are more fashionable and put-together than adults!
We love all of Kourtney's photographs of her children's outfits, but the best picture by far is this one of Penelope's shoe collection. It might be the best child's footwear collection in history. #jealous
3 When She Took Penelope To Disneyland To Be A Disney Princess
Disneyland is known as the happiest place on earth, as well as a place where dreams come true. This is definitely true for Penelope, who got the chance to dress up as a Disney Princess with her cousin North and best buddy Ryan.
The trio got amazing princess makeovers courtesy of Disneyland's Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, where children are made-over by employees - they can even choose which princess they want to be! The children are then given costumes and accessories, as well as a new hairstyle and some makeup. Penelope was transformed into an adorable mini Elsa from Frozen, and the pictures are seriously cute.
"The girls got princess makeovers at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique!" Kim Kardashian, 35, captioned the photograph, which she shared on Instagram. "I've never seen anything sweeter! Thank you @Disneyland for the magical memories!"
No doubt the girls will treasure those pictures and memories for a lifetime - you can't beat family bonding time!
2 When She Spends Time With Them In Bed
Most moms love to go out on day trips with their children, but for them, the best part of the day is normally coming home and snuggling up in bed or on the couch with their kids. Children grow up quickly, and it is wonderful to get the chance to just sit down and have a chat and a cuddle.
Kourtney Kardashian clearly agrees that snuggle time is the best time, as she frequently shares adorable pictures of her and her children relaxing in bed together. After a long day of filming, she loves to curl up in bed with her family. We can't question it; it seems like the perfect way to wind down after a long, stressful day.
In some of the pictures, you can see Mason and Penelope holding hands as they sleep. These pictures will be treasured as they grow up, as well as the memories of their family slumber parties.
1 When She Had To Look After Scott Too
Kourtney may only have three children, but sometimes it seems like on-and-off again boyfriend Scott is her fourth child. The couple recently broke up after Scott was photographed canoodling with celebrity stylist Chloe Bartoli. In the pictures, the pair had their hands all over each other, and two days later Kourtney reportedly dumped Scott.
However, this wasn't their first spilt. The pair first got together ten years ago in 2006, when they met at a party at Joe Francis' house in Mexico. They then spilt up in 2009 after Scoot allegedly cheated on her, but they got back together when Kourtney found out that she was pregnant with first child Mason. In 2015, Scott checked himself into rehab in Costa Rica, but he left after one week to go back to his partying ways.
It seems like it is more work for Kourtney to babysit Scott than it is for her to raise her three children - but somehow she still does it. Kudos to you, Kourtney!
