Mother’s Day is finally here, and I am thrilled we have a day set aside to celebrate our mum’s. My mum is an amazing woman who always gives her all to ensure that her children all three of us are happy and comfortable. She is my number one fan and supporter. Her love is truly selfless, and she has a huge heart.

I only got to fully understand what it means to be a mum now I have two lovely boys of my own. I love seeing their lovely smiles or the warm, loving gaze shared while nursing my youngest. Although some days can feel overwhelming, I cherish the legendary hugs from Tim (He currently holds an award for this at his nursery) and seem always to be smitten by Baby J’s smiles.

I am grateful to God for the gift that he has given and thankful for the opportunity to be a mum.

As I reflect on my journey so far and the comments made by other mum’s (especially new friends at”*** supermum” – a lovely group), I  have few words just for you on this special day

THANK YOU

For all the late night feeds and despite the sleep deprivation, you make sure we are comfortable

Cleaning up after our mess

Staying calm and patient, even when you were tested

Being our number one cheerleader and feeding our imagination

Fond memories we shared

Being a source of comfort

FOR BEING YOU

I hope you feel special and loved today and regardless of what season you find yourself in, just know that you are doing enough (and no the other child isn’t neglected or getting less love) and you are appreciated.

You have what it takes for this journey, relax and I pray you enjoy the reward of motherhood.

I am really pleased with my first mother’s day gift from my soon to be 2yrs old son, Tim
