Did you even celebrate Mother's Day if you didn't share photos on social media? Not these days, and reality stars are no different than many of the people who watch their shows. The Real Housewives shared photos of their families celebrating Mother's Day. Some of them are mothers themselves and others honored their own moms.

Many these women are known for throwing over-the-top celebrations on Real Housewives, but it seems like most of them kept it pretty low-key for Mother's Day. This is in stark contrast to the catered affairs and themed events that they have on their shows season after season.

The Real Housewives Mother's Day photos show that they actually are "real" people who are just like their fans. They, too, went to brunch with their families, received homemade cards, hugged their kids, enjoyed breakfast in bed, took selfies with their moms, rocked matching outfits, and put Mother's Day themed filters over their pictures. They may up the ante on every other holiday, but they were all just focused on family time for Mother's Day.

These women are known for their palatial mansions, product lines, and reality TV drama, but they really are so relatable when it comes to celebrating Mother's Day. Check out the photos of the Real Housewives keeping it real with their mothers and children to celebrate the holiday.
