Sometimes it just takes just an insanely cute picture to send an important message.

Emilee Player, who is stepmum to 4-year-old Maelyn, posted a photo on Facebook of her stepdaughter at a soccer game surrounded by her blended family.

Besides Player, there is Ricky Player, Maelyn's dad, Clara Cazeau, her mum and Alex Cazeau, Maelyn's stepdad.

And they're all wearing T-shirts saying what they are:

"Because of us, I will never believe co-parenting can't work! I KNOW through experience it CAN WORK! Choose to do what's best for your child and everything will just fall into place," she said.

In a week, the picture has gone viral with more than 87,000 shares and 34,000 reactions.

Cazeau said she split with Maelyn's dad in 2013, when the girl was just 8 months old.

But even though they have a blended family now, both Maelyn's mum and stepmum still wanted to keep a family tradition alive by attending all her soccer games together and wearing jerseys supporting her:

“It was really positive, a lot of people would just say we wish we could be like that," Player, Maelyn's stepmum, told WTVM.

"We do holidays together, we do birthdays together... we're basically like best friends," Cazeau and Player both say.

If this is not co-parenting goals we don't what is.
