Being a mother has been one of the toughest and most rewarding jobs I've ever done. It has certainly helped me to appreciate all that my own mum has done for me.
I entered motherhood at the tender age of 24, naive and clueless! I didn't have a support network around me, lacked greatly in confidence, and read copious books to 'learn' how to be a good mum.
17 years later, and by the grace of God, I'm a changed person (for the better!) and have 3 happy, healthy and beautiful girls! When I look at my daughters, my heart swells with pride and joy! I love how special and unique they are in their differences. They constantly make me laugh, surprise me and inspire me.

Yes it's been jolly hard work, and there is still hard work ahead, but I wouldn't change the last 17 years for anything!

And for my own mum, I made her a Welcome Wallhanging:
Happy Mother's Day mum!
To all mum's everywhere - Well done, keep going, remember the good times.
You are an amazing mum to three amazing girls. Happy Mothers Day you!

ReplyDeleteAw, what a nice post. You're a wonderful mum and have three gorgeous girls. Keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely girls! I suspect there are as many ways of being a mum, as there are children!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous girlies.
ReplyDeleteThey are lucky to have such a great mum.
They look like they are probably as much of a laugh as you too.

Happy mothers day to you and to your mum too! The cake looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMmm cake... Lovely photos, lovely girls :-) Happy mothers day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! Happy Mother's day!
ReplyDeleteNo one would take on the job of "mum" if advertised in the job centre coz the T&C's are terrible! But it's still the best (hardest, most infuriating) occupation in the whole, wide world!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics of your lovely girls and remembering Mums who are with us no more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers day! What a great cake. Hope you enjoyed it

ReplyDeleteMotherhood is rewarding, frustrating, demanding but ultimately a privilege. It is also amazing that our children survive our 'practicing' the art of motherhood. Di x

ReplyDeleteOh was it Mothers Day in UK? Ours is in May in Aust. I identify with your thoughts on motherhood at 24. I was 26 when i had my eldest, married, buying a house and thought i was so grown up. Man, did i feel different after Amelia arrived! Young, vulnerable, etc. I think i grew into it!
