Happy Mother’s Day To all the super Women. Have you ever thought, where you would have been? or what you would have been without your mother? I have tried and the mere idea of it ain’t a heart warming picture. I love that we set aside a day, I kinda wish it was a week though, to honor and celebrate the women who gave birth & raised us. The mothers of the world. Allow me to brag, I have the best mother in the whole wild world. I would love to sit down and prove you with 101 reasons why, but here is a fun fact. Everybody thinks this way when it comes to their mothers. Guess what it’s completely okay after all. This single handily proves that mothers are after all special.

Apart from being beautiful, My mother has a hurt of gold. I see more and more of this traits in this Heaven-sent woman especially now that am in my 20’s. Hope majority of you can relate to this feeling. I would love to say the mother-daughter bond between us has grown profoundly, and I couldn’t be more luckier. She is my best friend, my adviser, my sponsor, my confidant and everything in between. She makes celebrating mother’s day a Breeze. If I ever grow into at least half a woman she is today, It’s safe to say My life will be a complete. Every year as the Mother’s Day approaches I get a little nostalgic about my mother and how much celebrating her in my day-to-day means.

This post is more of an open letter to all the moms. Think about it, the title mum isn’t easy to come by. Some mothers are battling infertility, miscarriage, single parenthood and even loss of a child. So a toast of love and appreciation to all the strong women out there, This Mother’s Day. The ones with full frown kids, the ones in-between raising their sweet babies and the once who find themselves in the throes of pain. Today we celebrate you.

There are a million and one ways to celebrate your Mother, Wife, Aunts, Sister or Grandmother this Mother’s day. In terms of gifts I have come up with a variety of gift ideas this Mother’s Day and a little extra in the end of the blog. Just to mention but a few: An engraved necklace, a Mother’s Day mug, A bouquet of flowers, Wine bottle, Mother’s Day card or a hand written letter, A book (for the ones with reader moms), Parisian Candles, a bathroom pamper set, a journal, a Bible or a Quran, a scarf, a perfume,  gadget, canvas tote, jewelry, Dessert truffles,  cookbook, forever frame, a posh purse, take her to dinner or better yet a Homemade brunch.
