What mums REALLY want for Mothers Day
Mothers day (in the UK) is the 4th Sunday in Lent and a day that causes children (including grown-up children!) and husbands to wrack their brains wondering exactly what mums really want for mothers day…
While flowers, chocolates and breakfast in bed are all lovely to receive (and a day at the spa is even better), the one thing worth more than anything else to a mother, is to know that she is doing a great job. Our mums do much for us without expecting anything in return, always putting us first and constantly doubting themselves.
Want to know what mums really want for Mothers Day..?
Rather than an expensive gift, your mum really wants to know in your own words how much you love her and why you are thankful for her.
How would your mum feel if you sent her a card on Mothers day telling her how much you appreciate her and what an inspiration she is to you? I am sure it would mean more to her than any gift.
We asked some of our favourite bloggers, penpals, Instagrammers and customers what they would like to thank their mums for. Here is what they said…
“I would like to thank my Mum for being a strong woman who showed me that women can do anything they put their mind to. For being the glue that held my family together. I miss her so much, but I know that I am her echo”
– Jen Walshaw, Mum In the Madhouse
“There are so many reasons to be thankful for my mom. She is a mother to her core; Selfless… and protective. She is always my biggest fan and I could not love her her more. I hope I can someday live up to the example she has been for me and my brother!”
