My mum still recounts the first attempt I had at making her breakfast in bed, I would have been all of 3? toast and tea in bed with a side of mayonnaise garnished with capsicum seeds (what was my father thinking? letting me serve that up!) the capsicum seeds were for added "flavour" riiiight....
My first Mothers day as a Mum myself, was a bit of a disaster. Lunch was being had at my Mums place, so Jman, Jboy and myself got in the car and went for the looong drive down to the parentals. I guessed Jman was holding out on me and would pull out some fantastic surprise some time during the day, sadly that wasn't to be...Jman stopped the car next to one of those "last minute" flower stalls that seem to pop up overnight on Mothers day.
He returned to the car with 3 bunches of chrysanthymums. I DETEST chrysanthymums, they stink, I dont even think they look very nice, he handed me one and said "happy mothers day baby" nice.
The other two bunches were for my Mum and grand mother. (who were pleased as punch to get "purple" Mums) My Aunty K was there too so I
Jman has since made up for the lack of Mums day creativity, last year I even got a card! with Jboys scribble in it! and a badge that I was made to wear all day (not that I was complaining!) emblazoned with the words "no 1 MUM!" Also Lindt balls are always appreciated :)
So to celebrate Mums Day in a biscuity way, I have a Mothers day gift pack to give away! $30 worth of hand made, hand decorated Biscuits, flowers, hearts and a message cookie.

Being hundreds of kms away from my own mum, my ultimate mother's day might just be to have my husband at home....usually he has to work or is away for court. My kids are too little to pre-plan, so someone who actually knows it's mothers day would be nice company lol.

my perfect mothers day would be to have my cast of my broken ankle so i could ran around and play with my little man followed by a big family lunch with my mummy as well... but very mothers day is special for me to spend with my miracle baby michael-john who was prem and very sick when he was born. :)

ReplyDeleteA perfect mothers day for me would be to be able to cuddle my too little boys at the same time ~ just once. If i could just have one more moment with my angel and on mothers day it would make my day. His angelversary is the day before and i am sure his brother would love to meet him. miss him so much everyday
