The days are getting cooler, Christmas feels like a distant memory and Mother’s Day is almost upon us once again. As the second Sunday of May looms large on the calendar, we are reminded to take time out of our lives and say a much-deserved thank you to our hard-working mums and mum-figures.
On the second Sunday of May – this year, Sunday May 14 – mums around the country will be waking to well-meaning brekkies in bed, homemade crafts and flowers aplenty. And of course, the highly anticipated pièce de resistance: the Mother’s Day card.
A Mother’s Day card to a mum is like a birthday cake to a child – the expectations are high, but the rewards are certainly worth the effort. A great Mother’s Day card will be deeply cherished – pen the right sentiment and you can expect to find that card kept in mint condition for years to come.
Of course Mother’s Day isn’t only about celebrating our mums, but also the step-mums, mothers-in-law, grandmas, wives, aunties, mentors and other special women in our lives. No matter the relationship, selecting the right Mother’s Day flowers and finding the right words doesn’t have to be.
