Mother's Day 2012

This Mother's Day I am so grateful to be a Mother of 3 beautiful and healthy children. Last year I was a mummy to 1 and I love saying that I have children instead of a child as I've always wanted more than one and we were so blessed to add another two babies at the same time :)

I remember the first time I ever found out I was going to be a mum through a positive pregnancy test - I ran out the bathroom to Damien, and gave him a hug and just cried - tears of shock and absolute joy. I always try to remember that feeling when I experience the 'challenging' days when there are is non stop crying, tantrums and sore shoulders to remind me how much I wanted to be a mother.

I am also grateful to be able to share this day with my own beautiful mother who is the best mother anyone can ask for. She loves her children and grand children unconditionally and will do anything for us. There are times when I don't know what I'll do without my mother! She is such a great example to me and I wish that one day my children will feel and know how much I love them as much as I do with my own mother.

Mother's Day is a when you celebrate your mother (which I did) and seeing as my children are too young to spoil me with gifts and acts of love - I celebrated being their mother but then this when the husband steps in right? I'm grateful that he took us to a family dinner the night before to one of my fave buffets - Sizzlers followed by making a delicious breakfast on Mother's Day. I think he also mentioned taking me to a massage I really want (need) which I will eventually hold him to but until then I can't complain as I really had a blessed day :) xo
