To Mums everywhere – I hope your nearest and dearest are spoiling you today.
I just had to share the ‘tray of joy’ I received from my daughter this morning. She’s been busy crafting over the past couple of weekends, and had made me a card, a wonderful bunch of foam and pipecleaner flowers, a super little girl figure with a bunch of roses, and a booklet of Mother’s Day gift coupons. These came together with some sweets from her own stash, and some Thornton’s chocs – I am so lucky!
The coupons are wonderful – they include ones for doing cello practice, going to the postbox, not pestering me for a go on the computer, and have her bath straight away, amongst others. They made me chuckle – she is a good girl though, so I hope I won’t have to use them!
That is so sweet
How lovely, Annabel! I was lucky enough to receive a penguin mug and some vouchers for the beauty salon. We’re going out to an open farm later – much nicer to get out in the air and go for a walk than sit in a restaurant. Happy Mother’s Day.
Nice gifts – I love the penguin mugs too. Have a good trip to the farm.
argh ,hope you have a great day ,all the best stu
Your daughter is so cute:) Sounds like you had a wonderful day.
What a gorgeous girl and a real present to treasure too! Senior son forgot until it was too late to post a card but I will forgive him since with a rising three year old and 11 week old twins, he had to concentrate on organising Mother’s Day for his wife! At least he remembered to phone!
Lovely cards from junior son and both daughters though and nice presents from the two youngest though I will have to wait for senior daughter’s present until she comes back up for Easter next week as she is currently living and working in London.
Would it sound insufferably smug to say that the best present is knowing that all four are healthy and happy and good people?
Not at all smug – I think we all feel that. Hope the twins are doing well, and not wearing their parents out too much!
Juliet was agonising over buying a present for me – I knew she was making something and kept saying that that was far better, and that cuddles were enough anyway. The flowers are by my bed in a little vase now.
She’s a sweet girl and that’s a lovely photo of her. Homemade gifts are by far the nicest.
Absolutely the best.
