Happy Mother's Day.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, here is one of my favourite pictures of me and my mom.  It was taken at my 21^st birthday party last year.

My mom is awesome.

I put her through quite a lot while I was growing up.  You could say I was quite a challenging child, but that would be an understatement.

I was nicknamed Biffy at a young age, because I used to throw things.  A lot.  I remember packing my suitcase and running away from the babysitter.  And drawing all over the toilet seat, carpet and lounge suite with Mom’s lipstick.  Oh, and there was also that time I squeezed the entire bottle of expensive shampoo she had treated herself too down the sink hole. 

And that, my friends, is merely the tip of the iceberg.  I was by no means an ‘easy’ child.  Nor teenager for that matter, but that is a whole different story!

Miraculously, after everything I have put her through, Mom and I have a great relationship now.

My mom is kind, generous and thoughtful and she has taught me a lot over the years.  She’s always been there for me – whether I need scraping up and putting back together, or help with pumpkin soup – and I know she always will be.

Thanks for everything, Mom.  I love you xxx
