Being a mother is all i have ever wanted to be. It is the the most rewarding job i could ever imagine having and i love my two girls with ever part of me. They constantly amaze me and i find myself becoming more and more proud of them every day. Whether they have come home with a house point for being kind and caring or whether they have spent the day playing nicely together. Their constant dance shows they put on for me or the little pictures they present me at 9pm when they should be asleep but they have stayed up late, drawing underneath their blankets.
I love those mornings when i wake up to hear them having a tea party in one of their bedrooms or i wake up to one of them snuggled up next to me, whispering "good morning mama" and then rubbing their nose on mine. It is the small and tiny things that i treasure the most and i sometimes get such butterfly feelings in my tummy knowing that they are mine and that they are growing up to be such sweet and caring little ladies. There is also that moment when i was writing this post that i whacked my elbow on the side of my chair. Elle came running over to make sure i was ok and then Mia came up to me a few minuets later with a card she just made with a rainbow on and said it was for me to make me feel better.
One of my favourite things to do with the girls is have a tea party. We like to take a little walk to the super market to pick up some cakes and pink lemonade. The girls love to get all my china out and we can spend hours sitting on the floor or at the table pretending we are princesses. If i could have a whole day on mothers day having a tea party, it would be the most perfect mothers day. It really is all i want.
This Mothers day, i am so proud and honoured to have teamed up with Cath Kidston to share the little daily achievements of being a mother. There is a sweet little video that you can watch and then you too can join in the campaign by sharing your motherhood achievements on social media using the hashtag #CKcelebrateher. You could even win £50! You can see all about it over on their blog here.

Thank you to Cath Kidston for collaborating with us on this mothers day campaign post.
So lovely. I personally think there is no more beautiful vocation in all the world than motherhood - perhaps not for every woman, but those who want it, and can have it, are so very blessed by the everyday joy it brings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this post and well done to Cath Kidston for celebrating what it means to be a mum. Your daughters are gorgeous, you have every right to be proud of them x
ReplyDeleteOh this is just gorgeous Keri-Anne - the post and the photos. I love that Cath Kidston is doing this, such a great brand too. I hope you're all having a fabulous half-term x

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely thoughts from both you and Cath Kidston. Love that teacup!
ReplyDeleteI love Cath Kidson and those tea cups are gorgeous. Looks like you had a lot of fun doing this post
ReplyDeleteI love Cath Kitson and especially their kids clothing. I'm not a jig fan of tea but love the table wear featured.
ReplyDeleteYour girls sound delightful and the photos of you all together are beautiful. I enjoy a nice tea party too - I hope you get to do that all day this Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteIm not what you would call a Cath Kidston fan but I do love those teacups with saucers x
ReplyDeleteI love the tablecloth especially. Lovely pictures, and I am jealous of that tea party! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Cath Kidston and those teacups and saucers need to come and live with me ;-)
ReplyDeleteStunning -simply stunning. These photos are adorable! Didn't think i was a Kinston fan but this have convinced me otherwise.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love Cath Kidston and these are perfect photos x
ReplyDeleteCath Kidston is so quintessentially girlie and so are tea parties, both of which don't feature much in my life surrounded by boys! I do like to look from the sidelines though.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely and the photos of you and the girls are stunning- I bet you will treasure them forever. xx
