Why I'm Grateful For My Mum

Posted on the 10 March 2015 by Sparklesandstretchmarks @raine_fairy
With Mothers Day approaching, I thought I'd join in with this fabulous Mothers Day competition from Great Rail who are giving one lucky person the chance to win a trip for two to Bruges! 
All you need to do is write a blog post about why you're thankful for your mum!
I have zillions of reasons why I'm thankful for my Mum, and after she had a horrible fall just before Christmas and broke her hip I feel like she could do with cheering up - she had to have a full hip replacement which meant she missed out on traveling to see her Grandchildren for Christmas which she hated, and she's been battling through the physio ever since like a trooper - she could do with a treat after a terrible ending to last year!
To sum up why my Mum is so fab, I wrote a little poem!
My Mum


She always has a smile for people, and always time to spend She likes to pass the time of day and be a real, true friend
She likes a natter and talks for hours, to anyone who calls Much to the dismay of my Dad, it drives him up the wall!
Good manners are her big pet peeve, so mind what you say! If she hears you mutter a "bad word", she'll lecture you all day!
She loves to be with little ones, her grandchildren the most She brings them breakfast in their beds, complete with tea & toast!
She's a real fashionista, and always looks her best Infact I think My Mum is always a cut above the rest!
She's always got a cuddle and some motherly advice, and is always treating us to things when she sees something nice.
She has a very silly side, making scarecrows for outside! She didn't win the competition, but you couldn't say she never tried!
Every occasion that there is is celebrated in style, with bunting, food and lots of fun...she goes the extra mile!
She's the best Nanny in the world, all her grandkids would tell you so They are always excited when she's here, and cry when she has to go
She's number 1 in my eyes, so Happy Mothers Day Wishes I send... To the best Mummy in the world....My Mum and my best friend!
Happy Mothers Day, love from Hayley xxx
