Ten Things {I love about Mummoo}

1. She can shop like no-one else I know. The Orginal and The Best. Cooking? Cleaning? Budgeting? My mother taught me none of these...she raised me to understand that as long as the shops were open for trading, nothing else mattered.

2. She puts everyone else before her. I once read a quote that said "My mother was put on Earth for the sole purpose of being my mother". When I think of it, I think of her.

3. She gets every single bug my kids lovingly gather up and pass to her yet she still lets them in the door.

4. She goes to Crabtree and Evelyn for my nighties.

5. She's my advice line for interior design, medical emergencies, current sales, good restaurants and all things sensible.

6. She knows my limitations and tries to gently steer me from my ever-changing (and often poorly thought out) notions.

7. She lives down the road. {A dream, literally, come true}.

8. She's 100% trooper. When the going gets tough...well, you know. So many days, she's been my firefly.

9. She always has good cheese and great wine in the house.

10. She's the Mum I want to be when I grow up.


Mummoo, I love you.

You lucky, lucky girl Sheye:)

I'm been an orphan since 17:(

Anyone care to adopt me??!! :-)

We always had plenty of cheese in our house - being Scandinavian (where the supermarkets have 3 aisles of cheese!) it's a basic food group in my home♥

♥♥♥Sheye's Momma♥♥♥

such a wonderful post. The way you are able to get your thoughts out of your head like this will never cease to leave me in awe.
When I grow up I want to be able to express my thoughts the way that you do :)
