mothers day

How lucky I am to have a beautiful Mum, Mum-in-law and to also be a Mum. I have two children of different ages. My gorgeous daughter is now twenty and my little boy almost four. I started young and have grown along with my daughter who I now count as my true friend. She leaves us next year to study in France. What an exciting adventure!

My son is still a story to be told. He's sitting next to me while I write this, he's sitting still for only a moment, as he'll be off in no time! To all the Mums, a very happy Mother’s Day, hope it's full of smiles. Tara
