With Mother’s Day rapidly approaching, how could we miss the resounding message in “the toughest job in the world.” More than anything, I know that what I want from my two young adults is to hear from them regularly (more than once a day works for me!) and to spend time with them.

I’d love to go to a cooking class with my daughter and to go go karting with my son (kids, you don’t have to spend a fortune on it – there are plenty of gifts under $50 – but if you need a bit more cash – ask your dad. Or both pitch in and the three of us can do something together.

We have such limited time together as they work hard establishing their own lives (of which I am very proud).

Last year my mum and I did a candle making course together. We spent a Saturday afternoon together that will filled with creativity and laughter – it was the best. (Mum you can be assured there will be another little creative activity for this Mother’s Day, but I’m not giving away any hints).
