What are your plans for this Mother’s Day?
This Mother’s Day I will be spending the day with Patrick and Jane – neither of whom have a clue that it is Mother’s Day! It will be a normal day, like any other, but Sunday’s are very precious to me because I get to have the entire day with the two babies without any interruptions.
What was your first Mother’s Day (as a new mother) like?
Well, last year was my first Mother’s Day and, to be honest, like every other day in the last two years since I had the children, it passed in a bit of a blur. I know I got a lovely card, and chocolates and I will find that card in about ten years time and treasure the memory of my first Mother’s Day.
What is your dream Mother’s Day gift if the constraints of time/reality/physics didn’t apply?!
I would love to be given the time to disappear to a lovely spa for the afternoon and have relaxing treatments. I don’t think I ever appreciated the joys of a spa properly before I had children. Now, even a few hours of downtime and pampering would be fabulous!
What is the best Mother’s Day gift you’ve ever received?
I will let you know once Sunday has passed – I’m very new to all of this.
What would you like to say to your own mother on Mother’s Day?​
I would like to apologise to my own mother for not even sending her a card this year. I am normally on the ball when it comes to marking these occasions, but this year, I let the days run away with me, and I missed the window of opportunity. But I will make it up to you – I promise!
