Mother's Day Post No 2.

Sarah and Ivan (with Cleo)

Matthew with Ivan (making up food for the birds)

Elizabeth with Ivan (and of course Cleo)

These are the other wonderful reasons that I celebrate Mother's Day. My beautiful husband Ivan, who gave me the gift of a family. From the day he met me, he knew that I came along with a wish for children and not for a second did he hesitate to fulfill that wish (Grin . . . yes we had fun fulfilling it).

21 years ago today I celebrated my first Mother's Day - my Elizabeth was just a few months old and each year since has been filled with love and joy on this special day.  But, for me Mother's Day is just one day a year and my life is filled with this special JOY - every single day. 

So to my beautiful husband and my wonderful children - thank you for allowing me to enjoy this wonderful day.

This is the reason that I get to celebrate Mother's Day



My stunning Mother.

My lovely Mom is my special friend; she is always here for me and over the years we have shared so many good times, a few bad and some amazing adventures together.

I know that when I call out - she is always there.  She has taught me to be the mother that I am today. I know that her example in life is why I am happy - as she always says "Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again."  Yes, Mom it still irritates me - but I do just that.

Tonight she is hosting our lovely Mother's Day dinner, she has invited us down to share a Roast Pork, her yummy roast potatoes and veges - Yumm - (She makes the best roast dinner in the world)

So today instead of celebrating my own Motherhood and my beautiful children, I am proud to share my Mother with you all. She is the BEST.

 I am looking a little worse for wear, ready for work, while my stunning Mother glows beside me.
