mum’s the word // 31 Mar 2011

As I’m sure you’re all aware, this Sunday is Mother’s Day, which is the perfect opportunity to say thank you for everything that your mums do for you. Rather than the “gift” of a bag of laundry or a tableful of friends to feed, splash out on something special to let her know how appreciated she is. Here are a few ideas that will give you the edge in the race for the title of ‘favourite child’… and remind your mum that nothing she does for you goes unnoticed. In all seriousness, mothers deserve to be spoilt this weekend, because if they’re anything like mine, they truly are superheroes. And I couldn’t be more grateful.
