The day for a Mother.

In all honesty, Mothers day wasn't going to be anything special for me. I love everyday that I spend with Stella and every moment is special. Mothers Day is no different, except for a chance to reflect on how wonderful being a mother is!

I was unexpectedly brought to tears Sunday morning. My beautiful friends had arranged for flowers to be sent to me complete with cards and gifts, they had even written the card as if it was from Stella. I am so humbled and grateful to have such thoughtful friends. I have said it many a time, they are my family. The support and love they give me daily is immeasurable. I am truly lucky, as is Stella to have such amazing people in my life.

Here are a few pictures from my very first Mothers Day.

 

Its hard to imagine that one day, that will be Stella's writing in a card. That one day she will be old enough to write, old enough to say my name, old enough to fight with me, old enough to date. I really do have to pinch myself every morning, I am surrounded my such positivity and happiness. Beautiful daughter, wonderful friends, comfortable lifestyle. Here's to many more Mothers Days to come and with them a new set of challenges and achievements.

How was your Mothers Day? What did you do to celebrate?

Plenty of love...

Mothers Day Wishlist

Unfortunately Stella isn't old enough to take her pocket money and buy something special for Mummy, it is also Nothing New month...so I shouldn't be advocating buying. But, a wish list is just that- a wish. So here's a few things I'm dreaming about for this Mothers Day.

1. Jessica Rowes new book 'Love, Wisdom, Motherhood'. Full of conversations with inspiring women and talk of all things Motherhood. Sounds like the kind of book that would love to keep me company in bed. Available here

2. Jean Paul Gaultier 'Classique', My absolute favourite in perfume. D-I-V-I-N-E.

3.  Mummy doesn't often wear shoes anymore; These would be the cutest ever on my feet around the house!

4.When I do leave the house, I would love one of these beautiful brooches on. We all know of my addiction with That Vintage. 

5. It has been a very long time since I had pretty underwear, and as impractical and dysfunctional as it may be...It's still oh so pretty!

6. Anything that uses 'moisture' and 'hair' in the same sentence is definitely something I need. Sukin why didn't I discover you sooner?

And here is something I received that was totally unexpected and heartwarming...A 'Happy Mothers Day' card from my friend Annalese telling me what a good job I am doing. It brought such a smile to my face! How sweet of her!

How are you celebrating Mothers Day in your family? I hope it's a happy happy happy one for you!

Plenty of love...
