TheHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Daysstar shared athrowback photo on Instagramof herself with Hawn forMother’s Dayon Sunday. In her tribute, Kate, 44, said Hawn, 77, gave her and her siblings “freedom” to “be in the moment.”

“Remember when we only had a couple tries to get a good pic? I really love those days,” she began her caption. “A perfect pic was so hard to achieve that a roll of 24 shots was a great reminder that life is profoundly imperfect. If you were lucky you’d get one with everyone looking.”

“My Mama didn’t wait around to get the perfect pic. In fact she has few pics of all of us together because she let us run around and be in the moment,” continued Kate. “The ones she does are always a little silly, a little blurry, half smiles, half cries, chocolate faces and unbrushed hair.”

“She gave us freedom, let us be wild, loved us endlessly and we got the pictures to prove it. I love you Mama. Happy Mothers Day! @goldiehawn,” Kate concluded.

Kate Hudson shares throwback with Goldie Hawn for Mothers Day tribute

For Hawn’s birthday in November, Kate shared anemotional Instagram caption in honor of her mom, saying she feels “so lucky I get to celebrate my beautiful mother every day.”

“She has challenged the toughest minds, stood tall for her worth, she blazed trails for us to walk a little easier through and cut a lot of those weeds that love to scratch at women’s ankles trying to get us to turn back, she follows through during the toughest moments and never takes no for an answer,” Kate added.

The actress said her Oscar-winning mom’s “life is a treasure trove of wisdom that I feel deeply honored to know intimately.”

“Most importantly,” she continued, “she always wanted and continues to aspire to be the best mother and grandmother. And well…let’s just say, she’s winning at that. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA G! You’re my everything.”
