The Stay at Home Mother

When I woke up this morning, I was greeted by both my children with hugs and kisses. They each had things they had made me - including cards and paintings.

I was treated to coffee in bed and a delightful breakfast (which I didn't have to make or clean up) Hurray! ;)

I also received a Starbucks card and chocolates. Although I'm not sure I really WANT the chocolates so close after Easter. Perhaps that's a gift, best enjoyed by the kids....

Today is the day that Moms all over the world wait for....a day to be spoiled, a day to be appreciated and a day that celebrates all that we do for our family!

I can't begin to express what an important role being a mother is. 

A few years back, I wrote an article about what it would be like if you had to place a want ad for the position of "Mother" in the newspaper.  In celebration of today - I am re-printing it here on thestayathomemother website for you to enjoy.

Today my children are making me breakfast in bed (with the help of their father) and I'm looking forward to spending the morning with them.

I think I may even be able to fit in reading time with a book I've been wanting to read! This afternoon I will be out in my garden planting flowers.

I have been waiting for the last month to plant flowers, as each year I tend to buy too early and the frost gets to them - and I have to buy them all over again.

This past week, I wrote a Mother's Day article in the Surrey NOW. It's all about "Mom-isms" we pick up through the years.....

Mother's Day is almost upon us. It is a day for moms everywhere to relax and be pampered for one entire day.

And every mom has a different idea as to what constitutes a great Mother's Day.... for me, this Sunday is all about time ....

Not only to myself - but with the family too....
