Happy Mothers Day ~ to ALL Mothers ~ everywhere
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE.
I am so excited this Mother Day.
Tiana has been buzzing about making “Special” Mothers Day presents and was so excited going off to school with some money to buy a present at the school Mothers Day stall… ALL BY HERSELF!
Mothers Day is a day I cherish and lap up. Every day is special with kids about, but today is even more so…
I love the excitement, the buzz and secretiveness in our house about the presents, how they make so much noise trying to be so quiet whilst making me a suprise breakfast in bed… and I pretend to be asleep when they come in… (and eat every little thing she made all by herself…. even the cold toast with piles of butter and jam. I rave on how I just love it). I love seeing her beaming face
I love the fact that I AM a mother.
I love getting up in the middle of the night, many times a night and tending to a cry…
I love the fact I can clean up after gastro and am there to pop on a bandaid and kiss a bruise better…
I love the fact that there have been tantrums in our house ….
I love the fact that I fight/negotiate about what my little one wears and eats,
and how she sometimes thinks its unfair I wont let her have junk food all the time.
I love the fact she thinks I am the “best mum in the whole world” when we read a bedtime story together
I love the fact that we can be silly and have tea parties in the paddocks and collect “gold treasure” amogst the granite hills where we live
I love… everything about being a mum.
The alternative is too hard to think about.
Have a wonderful Mothers Day….
now off you go… kiss and “cuggle” your little ones.
They are THE most precious beings in the whole world!
I am so very greatful and blessed
warmly
Elizabeth xx
