Mothers day

Being a parent is not the easiest job in the world. Your children can drive you to point of breaking and sometimes they get themselves into pickles even you aren't sure how to fix. Yet its the most rewarding and joyful of Jobs. The cuddles and hugs and the love you's and laughter brings any bad day to a bright one!

This year was hard seeing as one wonderful mother/grandparent is no longer with us. However relating fond memories, talking to family abroad and a fine roast followed my homemade lemon meringue and raspberry meringue with homemade ice cream as well as homemade cake has certainly made a would be glum day to a gloriously beautiful day.

I'm a very proud mum of 3 beautiful girls who's cuddles I recieve every day makes life all that more worth while.

Happy Mothers day to all you wonderful mums with the most amazing beautiful children. Xx

R.I.P Gran

Last week I had the heartbreaking news my grandmother had passed away. She had suffered a  stroke and was also poorly from a few other things too,  I know she is now in a better place.
My beautiful Gran is now in heaven back in the arms of the man she loved, my grandad and now my babies in heaven will have someone else to hold their tiny hands and look after them.
Although it hurts and I shall miss her every waking hour, I am grateful for all the memories I have of her and they are full of smiles, love and lots of laughter.
Tomorrow is the day we finally lay her to rest and say our goodbyes and until we meet agains.
I will always remember her beautiful smile and sparkle in her eye. Her laughter and her strength.
With her flowers I placed this poem on her card, it I hopes shows how amazing she was, how much we loved her and it just sums up how I feel.
There's magic in a Grandmother's touch, And sunshine in her smile. There's love in everything she does To make our lives worthwhile.
We can find both hope and courage Just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy, Her words are warm and wise.
So you see  its so very hard that today we have to say goodbye.
We shall celebrate you Gran with much laughter and maybe with a little cry
You'll never be forgotten gran, I'll just close my eyes and see, Your smiling face and feel your love And you'll be close to me.
You had such a long life, So many have so less, I know it was your time, and why the Angels came to place you with the best.
So my dear Gran, up above Although your no longer here, In my heart is where I'll keep you, and Forever, you'll still be here.

My heart is heavy, although I know you are at peace. Will love, cherish and miss you always Gran xx
