What was the best advice your mum gave you? Or the most helpful thing your mum taught you?
For me, learning how to sew and cook were two wonderful skills my mum taught me, which I continue to use throughout my life. However, possibly more valuable than these skills was the time my mum invested in me. The hours spent in the kitchen, at the sewing machine, or helping me with homework, and more.
Since becoming a parent myself I have realised how precious the time we give our kids really is, especially when we’re tired, or “should” be working or catching up on housework.
If you’re a parent, don’t underestimate the value of quality time with your kids, which can often be found in the simple activities, like going for a walk together. And as a child, take some time this Mother’s Day to reflect on the best things your mum taught you.
It’s often hard to put your gratitude into words, so this is where a heartfelt gift can help.
