Happy Mother’s Day to all of you for whom this is a wonderful day, and my thoughts and prayers for all of you for whom this is a difficult day.  For me, it’s a wonderful day – I am lucky enough to have a beautiful mother who has given me a great example about how to love your kids – and I have two beautiful daughters who I absolutely treasure.

My precious girls gave me lots of hand-made gifts (thank you after-school carers, guide leaders, child carers and classroom teachers) and very special cards.  I had lots of cuddles and kisses, and spent the afternoon overseeing the big girl making her first quilt and the little girl having her first try at using the sewing machine.
