Don't you just love the $3 stalls that happen on every 'event' at school???? You hand your lovelies the $3 as they trot off to school ever so excitied knowing exactly what they want to get just for you. Will it be the coffee cup full of lollies, the nice poem with a rose border, the bar of soap or the embroided face washer? I would love to be there watching their little faces as they debate in their minds which present mum would like most.
This year I was the lucky receiver of a bar of soap, a bookmark and a bracelet. A smirk comes to my face when they sneak their pressie out of their school bags, show whoever may be in the house, sneak it back into their room and covet it like we would a million dollars.
Sometimes, it really is the little things that matter most.
Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful mothers out there. I'll leave you with this final thought that a friend asked me today...
How come no-one ever asks a man how he manages a career and a family?
