I popped my Mothers Day cherry!

Today marked my very first mothers day. I woke up to the deep gurgling and snorting of my husbands snores. I got out of bed and readied myself for breakfast at my parents place, and once I had my face on I walked into our bedroom and wished myself a happy mothers day. My husband Jon, quickly woke up and showered me with lots of compliments and I love yous. I was then presented with a lovely cup of tea and a present picked out by Molly and Jon. I got exactly what I wanted, some new pyjamas! And I love them. They have sheep all over them, apparently Molly is extremely aware that she is part Welsh haha.

We headed over to my parents place where my sister and her family joined us as well as my grandparents. We cooked up a big brekky of scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns (that I made from scratch), sausages, toast, croissants, pikelets and fresh fruit. It was huge and delicious. I had such a lovely morning and my afternoon was equally as lovely as my husband and I went for a walk with Molly. I was a mothers day virgin and now my cherry has been popped. My day was fabulously relaxed and full of love and smiles.

I may have had a lovely day, but I couldn't help but think about the mothers we have lost and the mothers who have lost children. In the past three years I have lost women who I have loved who were mothers. Today their children feel the void. Mothers close to me have lost children, my grandmother being one of these when my aunt passed and a very dear friend who sadly lost her baby. All of these women have had an impact on my life and today I remember each of them. Today I say a prayer to the universe for each of these women and send them all my love.

Last but certainly not least, today I thank my mummy Lily, for being the greatest. She has a wonderfully wicked sense of humour and a quick wit to match. She has kissed away tears and hugged away fears and always loved us unconditionally. Even now at the age of 31, my mummy will make me chicken dumpling soup when I am sick. She drives me crazy at the best of times, but the only reason for that is that we are just so similar. She is the best mother and I wouldn't change her for anything! I only hope that I am as good a mum as Lily. I love her and today I appreciate my mummy.

Happy mothers day!
