"Mother's Day...

... should be every day” my wise ol’ mum always said. Every Mother’s Day, the same thing – Every Day should be Mother’s Day, not just today. [Can anyone whisper “Martyr”?]

At the time, in my pre-pubescent wisdom, I’d think “Yeah, Good on Ya, Mum… just take your knitted doily would ya and leave me be”... Of course now, I know exactly what she meant. It can sometimes be a tough job, but I’m so grateful for my beautiful little girl, I have to whack myself (only in a good way) over the noggin when I have a trying day…

On Friday at creche, I was presented with Scout’s first Mother’s Day crafty surprise – a Scout Purple Sunflower made from an egg-carton cup, green pipecleaner wire and purple spongy-matlike thing! V. proud, me. Reminds me of a T-shirt I bought in Japan:

“Under a Lovely Smile that’s blooming…”

You crafty thing
