Mother's Day can be a hard time, . As well as a joyful one. Mixed emotions. Joy tinged with sadness. Happiness. Frustration, and even anger. It can evoke all the feels.

Whatever it means to you is, of course, OK.

I lost my Mum in September last year, so this year is particularly thought-provoking for myself.

Expectations on the day can be high. And that can be triggering, and difficult for those that struggle with demands.

Alongside the differences in how we feel about celebrating the women in our lives. Some positive relationships, and some that we feel much less about.

However you view the day, and the women you have crossed paths with, we hope you find something fun to do with the kids over this weekend.

We have loads of activities and ideas, so you can take your pick:

1. 30+ pages of parent and baby coloring to have fun with,
2. Make a paper flower bouquet, and
3. Have fun with our heart thumbprint cookies.

Are some thoughts, but you can check things out for yourself.

If it isn't an easy day, and you need to remember, perhaps our butterfly poem will help a little.

If you'd rather just chill - try our coloring.

Whatever you do, and whether you celebrate or not the women in your life; we hope you have a good weekend.

Take care,

Helen

Mum of two,

Winging it just like you.
