Mothers Day.

Happy Mothers Day to all Aussie mums for Sunday.

 Even though my 3 kids are in there 20's there's been much huddled and hushed conversations going on for the last few weeks. Celebrations are always a big deal around here. My daughter keeps smiling telling me she can't wait until Sunday; that I'm going to love it. 

I still have a memory box full of pasta necklaces (that I wore shopping) hand-made cards and pottery........ things. :)  The kids think its funny that I still have them but I tell them a pasta necklace is as precious as a diamond ring to a mother.

 Some people talk about the commercialism of such days but its what you make it. Buying into the hype is a choice; so is just having fun with those you love.

 I'm so looking forward to spending time with my three tomorrow. One of my sons lives about 4 hours away now but he came home for the weekend and my other son, though working, is coming here after work. Its breakfast out with hubby, son and daughter  - then seeing the eldest in the afternoon. Its not the gifts -  the best present ever is being able to see all three. But who knows - I might even get lucky and get a new pasta necklace. :)
