Elizabeth Smart praised her children and her mother in a Mother’s Day Instagram post over the weekend.

Smart said wished her followers a Happy Mother’s Day, saying she was grateful for her husband, Matthew Gilmour, for giving her two children.

“Grateful for Matthew giving me two beautiful children, grateful to my Mom for being the best mom I could ever ask for, grateful to all the strong women who have impacted my life so much!” she wrote.

Smart’s Mother’s Day is the first time she’s posted a photo of the entire Smart family.

Smart previously made headlines after sharing photos of her new baby on Easter, along with her 2-year-old Chloe and husband Matthew, according to People magazine.

Smart praised her mother in that People magazine story, saying her mother was her true inspiration.

“My mom is a hero and has influenced my life more than any other person, and I’d like to have that same influence on my children,” she said.
