Highlights from Mother’s Day week (I know it’s a day, but I’m making it into a week!):
- I got caught eating Ella’s Humpty Dumpty Easter egg. Come on, I was desperate for chocolate. To avoid the tears, I promised any Mother’s Day chocolates I received she could share. The next morning, while telling her how I couldn’t wait for Sunday’s sleep in, breakfast in bed and dinner out, Ella piped up with: “And don’t forget, you’ve got to give me some of your chocolate fudge we bought you?’’ She then turned pale. “Oops, I wasn’t meant to tell you that, was I?’’. Ah, probably not!
- And how cute is Cinderella, all dressed up and ready for the ball… or the disco, at least. Her first school disco and a handbag full of money ($5 can look like a lot when it comes in change).
Do you already know what you’re getting for Mother’s Day? Are your kids good with keeping secrets?

My gift #1 from my son (school stall) has been sitting in the kitchen pantry for a week. It’s well-wrapped and well-hidden. His handmade one that he made is wrapped and has been sitting on the dining room table for a while. Whenever I walk by I want to have a looksee. lol
Hehe!! The temptation is so great, Rhonda. I can’t believe he had them in plain view and didn’t spill the beans. Good on him!
I hope you ended up having a great day. x
Gosh she is far too cute!! And yeah I have eaten many Chocolate Easter Eggs over my time…I LOVE chocolate.
This year I didn’t want gifts, I just wanted peace and Quiet with my boys….and I got it in the morning and nearly had it in the afternoon! Then we had to go out and about – our boys tried to be good but there is only so much they can take being in a car for the day.
I wanted “time” with my sons, and I am grateful that I was able to spend a couple of hours with them all 🙂
That’s interesting, Lisa, because I wrote a post for Million Dollar Woman last week about how mums don’t want materials things but instead want a sleep-in, some time to do their own thing and then quality time with the family. I think it’s so true – the things we took for granted pre-kids become so important once kids come along!
It sounds like you had a perfect day! x
Finally remembering to link up! Have a great week.
Thanks for linking up! I’m loving the variety of links this week! 🙂
