Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day, or Mothering Sunday, is a cherished tradition dedicated to celebrating the incredible women who shape our lives. Falling on the fourth Sunday of Lent, it is a day of profound gratitude – not just for mums, but for grandmothers, step-mums, and maternal figures who provide unwavering support and love. It’s a time for breakfast in bed, bunches of spring daffodils, and a well-earned “thank you” for the countless small acts of kindness that often go unnoticed. Whether it’s a day for a grand family roast or a quiet cup of tea, the essence of the day is making sure the “heart of the home” feels truly seen and appreciated.

There is a unique, irreplaceable joy in sending a Mother’s Day card. In our fast-paced digital lives, a physical card is a tangible keepsake—a piece of mail that is saved, displayed on the mantelpiece, and often tucked away in a memory box for years to reach back to. Whether the card is elegant and floral, minimalist and chic, or filled with a “punny” joke that shared a laugh, the handwritten message inside is what carries the most weight. Let’s honour the tradition of the written word and send a little piece of love through the letterbox to celebrate the wonderful women in our lives.
