Mother’s Day How I Remember It!



Being the youngest child of 8 kids, my mum was loved and cherished as any mother should be.  When it comes to the time of Mother’s Day, I remember that the spring time is always making its appearance so for me the main thing was either flowers, chocolates or perfume.  There was one year that I thought I would make the effort for something out of the ordinary and make her some lovely hanging baskets full of the most colourful flowers that I could find.  I’m no gardener but these were good if I do say so and lasted for years, with the changing of the annual blooms.

Throughout the many years before I had my own children, I would make sure that on the day my mum would not lift a finger and try to either cook or take her out for the day and let her be treated like an angel.  I would do it all again now if she was with here with me, sometimes we forget how special our mums are to us, they started us with the circle of life and we then go on to do it to our kids.  

What do I expect from my children?

Well not much at all.  I’m extremely lucky in that my children tell me they love me and show me in affection 365 days a year so the special days come along and I look and realise that I have them all the time.  I love the home-made presents that come from their bedrooms all smelling of my favourite perfume. 

There are the arrays of presents that can be purchased for your mother, step mother and even now mothers to be.  Times have changed in that we celebrate the occasion even before we have the children.  This starts the whole mothering experience that little bit earlier but can give you some cherished memories that will be with you and your children forever.
