To all the mamas, aunties, grandmas and guardians who mother, we wish you the most lovely of mothers days, wrapped in love, breakfast in bed, and showered with homemade cards and presents 💞. You make the world go round in every way imaginable, thank you 🙌.
Also thinking today of those whose mummy is not here to spoil, and those yet to be mummies who dream about that day and those struggling to become mummies who find today tough. We know days like these bring such mixed emotions, so be kind and gentle with yourselves today xx
