my beautiful mum

"No matter how your relationship is defined, your mother - present, absent - leaves the biggest footprint on your life. She inhabits you, she defines you."

The other day while on the bus I read the most beautiful article/memoir in December Elle about the bond between mother and daughter. It asked the question: What comes to mind when you think of your mother? My answer: I honestly dont know what I would do without my beautiful mum. She is my best friend in the whole entire world.

George getting a job is so incredibly amazing but it also means the next few years of our lives will be located in London. Not that I have anything against that (as you know, I loveee london) but it means I will be away from my good old muggsie moochoo (mums nickname haha). So this post is dedicated to my best friend, my role model, and my mum:

"No one will ever care quite as much about whether you take your vitamins, whether you get enough sleep, whether you're getting too thin. You'll take your mother for granted because she lets you, because you know she'll always forgive you. But if you're lucky enough to have a good one - and many of us do - count every single one of your lucky stars. She's your history, your future, and she's got your back."
