Mother’s Day
Posted on: May 13, 2019
Mother’s Day is celebrated on different days in various parts of the world but in Canada, USA, Australia and South Africa and possibly other countries, it is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. I love this day as I have been blessed with a very special mom. I wrote about her a couple of years ago here
I put together a little video of my special mom.
Of all the many jobs in my life, the best has been being a mom!! It wasn’t always easy but it was always worth it. I am so proud if these two.
Wishing all mothers, step-mothers, grandmothers, aunts and mentors, a wonderful day as we celebrate motherhood in all its forms.

It was perfect! Took Dot for a long walk, spoke to both of my kids on social media and went for a nice lunch with friends. Woke up this morning to many nice Mother’s Day wishes. Thanks and hope you had a good day as well.

Sounds lovely. Yes, I have a complete day off, no cooking, no cleaning! And went to have a cup of tea with both my mum and mother in law. Xx

It is a really nice day, different dates in UK and Nepal! I just don’t like the commercialism of it all, to this day our 49 year old daughter makes funny cards with photo memories inserted.

How clever of her. We don’t do cards anymore but send an e-card or a nice message. I Skyped with my daughter which was so nice and with my mom a couple of days earlier. Spain’s Mothers Day was a week earlier but my dog didn’t get me a card either!

It was very nice. We went for lunch at Eduardo’s in Villa Martin. Communicated with both kids and got snuggles from Dot. xo

When you have a sweet mom, great kids and an adorable dog, there is no way not to have a wonderful Mother’s Day. Thanks for popping in Natalie.

I celebrate mother’s day twice. The Brazilian one, second Sunday of May and the UK one in March. I hope you have enjoyed it 😄
May 14, 2019 at 7:40 am
That’s great! I actually can celebrate 3 times. Spain’s Mother’s Day is the first Sunday In May!

I think the quote by Sharon says it all….so very true and profound!!

Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, Darlene! Your fur baby relaxes like mine, lol.
May 14, 2019 at 10:25 pm
It was great, even though my kids and my mom are so far away. That fur-baby made up for it. I need to learn how to relax like her!

A sweet post, Darlene, and lovely little video. Yes, the best job in the world despite the struggles! I hope your day was wonderful.

It was, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Short and sweet, just like me mom. xo

A belated Happy Mother’s Day to you, Darlene! Every day should be Mother’s Day, right?
May 16, 2019 at 11:03 pm
I agree!! But it is nice there is one special day designated for us moms, even though it falls n a different day in other countries. It is not even the same all over Europe!!
May 17, 2019 at 10:20 pm
Wonderful, Darlene. I hope you had a delightful Mother’s Day. 🙂

It was fun creating a video of mom. My aunt showed it to her and she loved it. I think you must be about to see your grown babies soon. Enjoy! Every day is Mother’s Day for us moms!!

I’m a little late, but a mom is a mom every day. I love the photos of your special ONES, and the remembrances of your mom. Your quote is perfect. Happy Dot Day, to Dot! 🙂
