When it comes to planning something special, children have different ways of expressing their gratitude. However, some of the most common practices of the day are surprising your mum with some beautiful Mother’s Day cards, gifts, flowers, chocolates and so on. While these Mother’s Day cards and gifts are delightful, what makes the day more special is a sincere gesture of gratitude for everything mums do.
Not everyone has a mum to celebrate on Mother’s Day, but many people have motherly figures in their lives that they like to celebrate. Motherly figures (mums, step-mums, grandmas, aunts, friends of our parents) in our lives are often there to help guide, protect and care for us. So this year whether it’s their first or 50th Mother’s Day celebration, let’s make it special with a personalised gift as unique as she is.
Most of the mums this Mother’s Day will be exhausted. Having just finished, or at least approaching the end of another long period of home-schooling, characterised by a bigger juggle than normal.
For the one who was pregnant for nine whole months in her womb. For the one who spent the night with you while you were reading to pass your exams. For the one who, no matter how old you are, will always remind you that breakfast is the most important meal of your day.
There’s no motherhood manual. Maybe you learn what you think you should do from watching others, from the way your were parented by your own mother, or other mother figure. Maybe you read books, or watch Supernanny even. I once knew someone who read Gina Ford and became an instant expert on all things baby – for about five minutes of motherhood.
Mother’s Day in the UK is fast approaching. Not always an easy day for many people, but if you are looking for something to buy for your mum, or a mother figure in your life, or equally, if you are looking to drop some hints on things for yourself, take a look at what ASDA Photo have.
When entering the world of parenthood, your world changes completely. Some, parents choose to become stay-at-home parents, some try to work from home and stay with their children and others head back into the world of work.
Each ‘option’ comes with its highs and lows, positives and negatives.
