Today is Mothers Day, the day we celebrate and thank all our mothers. I am lucky enough not only to have regular contact with my mother but also my step mother and my mother-in-law, who all play a significant role in my life and have helped shape the type of mother I choose to be.

There is a statement that says “if the mother is okay, the family is okay”, I believe this to be true, what do you think? Mothers are the stabilise the family. The person who put everyone’s needs above their own to ensure the family functions as well as it can, despite whatever else is going on. While, at times this can be admiral, it is important that mothers teach their children to meet their own needs and grow into independent thinkers, who can take care of themselves. As a mother what are you teaching your children?

Thanks for everything!
