Kaley Cuoco is celebrating her second Mother's Day by honoring her village!

The actress, 38, marked the occasion with a touching Instagram post on May 12 that not only pays tribute to her 1-year-old daughter, Matilda, but the little girl's father, Tom Pelphrey, and all the other special caregivers in her life.

"Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Especially all the ladies who help us raise our little Tildy! We couldn’t do it workout you 🌸. And dada behind the scene’s making today so special," Cuoco wrote in the caption of the post.

She concluded with a sweet message for her daughter: "Lastly To my Matilda girl who changed our whole 🌎 🩷."

The post featured a series of photos of Matilda happily posing and spending time with her mom and dad, as well as several other adults including Cuoco's mother.

"Tom and I were sitting with Matilda the other day, and she was literally staring at us, and she touched both of our faces, and just gave us this innocent, just really joyful, 'Hi' smile," Cuoco said.

"I mean, I could cry right now," she continued. "We both looked at each other and we started tearing up. He goes, 'Is this our life now, where we just cry at everything she does?' "

The vocal animal lover — who launched her line of eco-friendly dog products, Oh Norman!, last year — also spoke to PEOPLE about Matilda's relationship with the family dogs, saying, "They have jumped on her. They have crawled across her. We have let them lick her, kiss her. Our pediatrician was like, 'It's okay.' So they love her so much."
