‘Mom! You forgot to tell me it’s Mother’s Day,” my nine-year-old Maxi woke me to tell me, as his sister Mini, who is eight, was hurtling towards the bed with glitter flying everywhere . Can’t believe the same ingredients created such different children.
Anyhoo, shout out to all the mothers, whether they’re godmothers, dog-mothers — it’s all about the love today. When you’re a mum, though, it can often feel like the days just melt into one another. A change of pace from a new routine is an exciting prospect when things are starting to feel monotonous. But if hopping on a plane is not possible, for me, the next best thing is a new beauty product. And, seeing as it’s Mother’s Day, there might still be time to buy one for yourself or another mum in your life.
