Motherhood

Motherhoold... It's difficult to explain as it really needs no explanation at all for most mothers. As mothers, we can easily relate to another mother's stories of their little ones. And I, along with many other mothers would nod knowingly when we hear another mother tell us how they cannot imagine life without their little ones. Growing up, I was the sort of gal who was too busy doing other things and was uninterested in domestic stuff. My mother was a great influence who was a perfect mom inside and outside the home. As a mother, I now find myself happily getting involved in activities where I have no prior experience in; i.e. staying up into the night to sew white stripes on my son's black cat costume for him to wear at his school's 'Guy Fawke's Day' celebration. I find myself rushing to the grocery store to pick up ingredients then rushing home to cook and all this time, I'm beaming with joy because my son had requested for me to make his 'favorite' pasta dish for dinner. I stand ready for the next domestic challenge and just hope that I inherit my mom's good genes ;-) There are tonnes of stories that every mother can share and every mother can relate to. I never grow tired of listening to another mother tell me about her experiences nor do I get tired of relating my own. Hence, I congratulate you, the staff of mothercare for coming up with such a good idea; a blog as a tribute to motherhood. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Georgiana Verdonk
