Celebrating Mom

Today is the day we celebrate Mother’s Day in many parts of the world. We take the time to thank our moms and acknowledge all the wonderful things they have done for us.

When we are children, we often take our mother for granted. She is the person we go to when we want a hug, fall down and scrape our knee, need someone to entertain us or get scared during the night. We don’t think about what our mom might have been doing, we just know we need her at that moment. She is our source of comfort and reassurance.

As we get a little older and start to face all the challenges life can send our way, we begin to understand those things Mom did for us when we were growing up. We begin to see some of the sacrifices she made for us, understand the wisdom of the advice she gave us, and appreciate the patience she had with us. I think this is especially true when we have children of our own.

So how will you say “thanks Mom” and “I love you Mom” this year? Will you send her a card? Take her out for dinner? Buy her some flowers?

I think that your choice in jewellery says as much about you as your choice in clothes, shoes or hand-bags.

It's very personal - to the point where sometimes others can't pick for you.

If you're still wondering...

I'm a pacifist who loves my family intensely.

My favourite flowers are roses.

And do not, under any circumstances, get in my bad books!!

Rose - Sterling Silver and Carnelian Necklace by LA Valley Girl

Beauty to share... roses on your table.

While diamonds may light up a woman's eyes, roses on your table warms your heart and home.

Yellow Rose Bobby Pins by Alatvian

I don't get roses from the hubby very often any more. Thankfully there are several rose bushes in my back garden, so that when they are in bloom I can go and pick my own.

I love to have them on my kitchen table. It is the centre of our house - meals, homework, morning coffees, catching up with friends - a place where my family shares their day, their worries, their joy.

That table is the heart of our house.

So, where is the heart of your house?

And do you get roses anymore?

...or would you prefer diamonds?
