Mother's Day - Just like your Mother - True ?

Mother's Day & Just like your Mother - True or False ?

Barry’s Tea do great ads that connect with our soul, our traditions, ourselves. Many of us can recall the grandmother welcoming her grand-daughter into the house and thinking to herself she’s “just like her mother”. As sons and daughters, our mother holds a special place in our hearts and minds - especially next Sunday as it is Mother's Day.

We can be very like our mothers / grandmothers, and at the same time we live very different lives, in very different times. My daughter Cliodhna is currently studying in DCU St. Pat’s to be a primary teacher. One of her class assignments was to interview her grandmother about her childhood memories of Christmas presents.

Cliodhna “Nana what did you get as a Christmas present, when you were a little girl ?”

Nana “Sometimes I got an orange”.

I was surprised at this. On reflecting however, this was not entirely strange. Back a couple of generations, times in Ireland were difficult, especially in country areas. There was not a lot of money, and an orange was regarded as an exotic – something to be talked about, played with, enjoyed.

How well do we know ?

The above little story got me thinking, how well do we know our mothers, our grandmothers ? Each of us can only remember our mother from early childhood through to our current adult lives. However there is normally a big knowledge gap about our mother's own childhood, her adult single life and the shared life we lived – she as a mother and we as young infants.

Mother’s Day Thank You

With Mother’s Day almost here, it is a good time to reconnect with our mums and say “Thank You”

What do you admire most about in your Mum ? Write it down and tell her in a letter or a card. The art of writing personalised letters with a pen are practically gone. Yes there’s the phone, there’s email, there’s text, there’s Skype etc. None of these compared to the thrill, the surprise, of receiving an old fashioned hand written letter. A personal letter shows you have taken the time, you care, you remember, you love.

Mother’s Day Gift

If you are looking for a special Mother’s Day gift, think of one of our Cara Mara luxury seaweed baths. Mums love relaxation, gentle skincare, spa days, time out. Give her “Health & Happiness in a Bath”.

To visualise this luxury home spa experience, look and listen how it works in a Relaxing two minute video . This is no ordinary seaweed bath. It's the "real thing" - freshly harvested in the autumn, frozen on the seashore, full traditional portion to fill the bath - for your mother to relax in her warm bath at home.

Here’s to the Mums

Here’s to the Nanas

Here’s to all the Mothers in the World

Who made us who we are

Happy Mother’s Day

We love you

Best wishes

Richard

PS If you have a special story on your mother we would love to hear from you.
