Mum’s The Word: 10 Quotes To Celebrate Mothering Sunday By

Mothers are some of the strongest, wisest, kindest, and toughest people in the world. Their seemingly endless ability to nurture, nourish and love makes them superhuman, and we don’t know what we’d do without them.

As the U.K. celebrates Mother’s Day this March 31, let’s take a moment to honor our mums with these inspiring quotes.

“When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth.” – Mitch Albom

“It’s a funny thing about mothers…Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.” – Roald Dahl

“My mom is the No. 1 person who has taught me to be courteous towards women, to always be respectful and polite to them, and to always lead with your heart.” – Zac Efron

“The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlid here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter.” – Louisa May Alcott

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” – Maya Angelou

“My mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through your external features. She was focused on compassion and respect, and those are the things that ended up translating to me as beauty.” – Lupita Nyong’o

“A mother is always the beginning. She is how things begin.” – Amy Tan

“My mother…she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.” – Jodi Picoult

“Nothing can really prepare you for you the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions of joy, exhaustion, love, and worry, all mixed together. Your fundamental identity changes overnight.” – Kate Middleton

“You never again have a day where you don’t think of your kids first…like, ‘How are the kids doing? What do they need?’ That’s my first thought when I wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night. I’m always thinking of them.” – Zooey Deschanel

How To #GiveLikeMum On Mother’s Day

March 31 is a big day for our readers who live in the United Kingdom. This is the day when you’ll be celebrating one of the most important women in your life: your mother. Your mum has likely made so many sacrifices for your family, and this is the best time to let her know just how much you adore her and appreciate everything she has done for you.

This Mother’s Day, #GiveLikeMum with these simple yet meaningful gestures.

Surprise her with flowers.

Get mum a bouquet of her favourite blossoms, and give it to her first thing in the morning. Her day will be off to a great start!

Help out with the household chores.

At one point or another, we’ve all been asked by our mums to do the dishes, sweep the floor, take out the trash, and do other chores. Impress your mum on Mother’s Day by doing all of these chores without her prompting. This is bound to bring a huge smile to her face.

Take her out for some pampering.

Bring mum to her favourite spa and treat her to a day of relaxation and pampering. Get her a massage, a manicure, and a pedicure, maybe even a haircut too!

Compile your family’s favourite memories.

Take out your photo albums, gather all your favorite photos, and compile them in a scrapbook. Even better, scan your photos and display them on a Nixplay Frame! This will also allow her to see your latest family photos in real time.

Get her something she really wants but would never splurge on.

Most mothers think twice before purchasing something they love, willingly forgoing some luxuries for the sake of their families. Show your mum that you appreciate all the sacrifices she has made for you by surprising her with a thoughtful present, like a well-made bag she can carry to work or concert tickets to see her favourite musician.
