With flowers and presents in abundance and a chance to join with their families and not have to cook and clean, it was a proud day for many mums.

Local businesses reported that the traditional Chrysanthemums were a popular seller in the Mother’s Day lead up, among items such as scented candles and other novelty items.

For many mums it is the chance to catch up with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Myall Coast News Of The Area invited mothers in our district to share what they did on Mother’s Day and what it meant to them.

Bulahdelah great grandmother Irene Worth said, “I don’t get the chance to see everyone often and Mother’s Day is a chance to catch up with everyone.

“I had breakfast with my youngest son and caught up with my eldest son later in the day for a meal.”

Karen Shultz of Bulahdelah said, “My two gorgeous daughters took me up to the Hunter Valley to the vineyards for lunch, for an early Mother’s Day get together.”

Melissa Smith of Bulahdelah said, “I never realised how hard having your children leave home and create their own lives would be, I miss you and love you endlessly and am so proud of both of you, you are two special humans.”

Jess Smith of Karuah said, “Being a mum is like no other, I am so blessed to have our beautiful babies, it’s a love like no other.”

Em Yeo, Liberty Higgins and Roxanne Richardson of Bulahdelah said the highlight of their day was just having a meal together with their family.
