The Best Mothers’ Day Present!

Was it this beautiful bunch of flowers?

Happy Mothers’ Day!

I always tell my kids, “Don’t buy me anything for Mothers’ Day or my birthday or Christmas.” I don’t need anything. A text or a phone call is all I want. But Keeley disobeys and buys me flowers.

But that’s not the best Mothers’ Day gift of all. Check out the following before and after photos and you’ll see why I’m over the moon at her thoughtfulness and hard work!

Isn’t she the best daughter ever? And she did all this while I thought she was having a pedicure. ( That’s what she told me. She’s a very good liar. I suspected nothing.)

I’ll have to call her when I can’t find something!

My first thought, when I walked into my bedroom, was, “I’ve been robbed!” Then I thought, “Hang on! What robber cleans everything so well?” And it hit me — it’s Mothers’ Day tomorrow and this was Keeley’s gift to me — the BEST GIFT ever!

Aren’t I the luckiest mum in the world?
