Sometimes Mother’s Day is just about joy, relaxation and being spoiled. In Hayley’s busy household, it starts at the break of day when her daughters, Marnie, Florence and Bonnie, excitedly prepare the house for a celebration. “I just love that they’ll be whispering, and I’ll be lying in bed, and they’ll go pick some flowers,” Hayley says. Once the girls are ready, Hayley will come up for breakfast and find the table laden with things from the garden, and “sweet little notes and drawings that I love”.
Mother’s Day often falls on her mother-in-law’s birthday, “so, I get the morning shift and then quick, it’s Possie’s birthday, so we’re off!” The special Sunday in May is always preceded by a flurry of creativity. It’s the original artwork that Hayley loves most. “A little drawing of me – their take on Mum.”
