The Little Miss was absolutely shattered today and wanted to stay in bed. However, she was keen to show off her World Aid Walk medal. Tired, a bit sun burnt and limping a little she went off to work to show off her hard won medal. I couldn’t be more proud.

Mothering Sunday and this picture pretty much sums up the two sides of the coin which reflect the day for me.
On one side of the coin I am so blessed to be Mummy to these fabulous small people. They bring me great joy and pleasure and I am enormously proud of them for their kindness and compassion for people as well as their achievements and successes, Oh, they are also enormously stubborn and frustrating at times but I think we call this character building.
On the other side of the coin is the constant reminder that my Mum isn’t here and it is now 8 and a bit years since she died. So much time has passed but her absence is still obvious at special occasions. I am hugely grateful that I had such a wonderful Mum and she taught me so much about mothering, things that I never knew I needed to know. I wish she was here to ask about the bits I forgot to learn though.
Two sides of the same coin but both remind me that I am hugely blessed; for what I have and what I had. I am a lucky mother and daughter,

Today was Music Centre Open Morning and I am so proud of these two.
The Little Mister was in junior strings and The Little Miss was in primary strings and primary choir. They did absolutely brilliantly and I was just thrilled with how well they participated and how confident they both were.
This evening I sang in a choir concert and the kids came to watch. At bedtime I said to The Little Miss, ‘I am so proud of you’ and she said to me ‘I am proud of you too Mummy. We both did excellent singing didn’t we?’ She’s right. We did.
