Weekly Winners - Mother’s Day Edition.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mummies out there. I hope that you were all spoiled with love.

While you are relaxing, why don’t you go to Sarcastic Mom’s and have a look at all the beautiful photography that Weekly Winners brings.

Mother’s Day is always a day of mixed emotions for me. It is a day when I celebrate the babies, who live in my house and mourn the babies who aren’t with me. I think about all the mother’s out there who have loved and lost, all the mummies in the making and all the Mums still waiting for their time.

Motherhood is complex. It is a mixed blessing and comes in many forms.

Natural, adoptive, fostering, good times and challenging ones, days full of sunshine and dark days of thunder and rain.

My day started at 3am. Brekkie was at 6 (no sleep in for this little black duck), presents at 7 and it was all over 10 minutes later!

Back to normality!

So here is a look into my motherhood…

    My eldest recently emailed me a photo of her eldset-E had her braces removed that day and since then can’t stop running her tongue over her beautiful straight teeth.

    I had to settle for the kitty jumping on my bed instead.

    “Checking out Mother’s day booty” and the last snap too, because it’s so cute. :)

    I also really like the dancy sparks, that’s a hard thing to get good pictures of…you did a nice job with it!

    Hope you’re having a good Mother’s Day! I’m spending it resting…I think I’m having end-of-pregnancy-morning sickness. :P

    Those bonfire shots are stunning! And the rest are simply beautiful. Those are some good looking kids!

    Happy Mother’s Day. You and all of your children (those you can hug and those you can’t) are in my thoughts today.

    Those are gorgeous! The bonfire shot is just beautiful. I can’t resist asking, how much shutter did you use?
