Best Mother’s Day gifts in the UK, for every kind of mum in 2019

TwitterFacebook

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. It falls on March 31 in the UK this year, for those of you who forgot. Please don’t forget again, because you’ll make your mum sad, and no mum deserves to feel sad.

Your mother is a goddess. After all, she gave birth to you. And while finding a gift worthy of her can be hard, it’s not impossible. This is mushy as hell, but you should know by now that it’s not the money that goes into the gift — it’s truly the thought that counts. 

So, instead of giving her that same generic candle like always, take some time to find something that really represents your appreciation.  Read more…

Dwayne Johnson wrote the sweetest Instagram post to his girlfriend for Mother’s Day

TwitterFacebook

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson just schooled us all on how to do Mother’s Day. 

Yesterday, Johnson posted a long, heartfelt message to his girlfriend Lauren Hashian that set the bar really high.

He posted an image of his “main squeeze” and his “little main squeezes,” which included newborn Tiana Gia and 2-year-old Jasmine Lia and dedicated the Instagram post to Hashian. He expressed how much he loves and appreciates everything she does for the family in a beautiful, and uniquely-phrased message of love. 

Happy Mother’s Day to my main squeeze @laurenhashianofficial, holding my little main squeeze, Jasmine Lia, who’s holding my tiniest main squeeze, Tiana Gia – both our daughter’s middle names are in honor of their great grandmothers, Lia and Giavanna. I’m in constant respect and grateful awe of all the things this incredible mama accomplishes on a daily basis. Here’s a fun small recap: Having a two and half year old and a newborn attached and clinging to her 24/7. Managing the wonderfully fun, Terrible 2’s with Jazzy. The “Hi, I need to eat every 3hrs and preferably from your boob” (just like daddy;) with Baby Tia. Managing multiple family properties. Managing an ever growing staff of family employees across the country. Picking up the ENTIRE FAMILY, STAFF AND DOG and moving to multiple locations AROUND THE WORLD, throughout the year because of my filming and production schedule. All while continuing to build an amazing career as a music and song writer/producer. As an artist and businessman myself, I recognize how incredibly hard this part is of her job is. She’s a brilliant visionary storyteller and lyrically gifted – all qualities that are hard to tap into when you’re managing this nonstop life of ours. But she does it like a brilliant bad ass. And here’s the best part and the thing I’m most proud of… Lauren does it all with a big genuine smile and is truly, the kindest and sweetest soul you’ll ever meet. People tell me all time after they spend time with her, “Lauren’s the nicest person I have ever met”. I always say, “Yes she is and being nice runs in our family… and so does kicking ass, so don’t ever get on her bad side” Lol. And finally – of all the human beings on this earth she could have as her partner – she chose me. One big, brown, bald, tattooed, very lucky SOB. Happy Mama’s Day Lauren. Take a bow and Queen it up – you’re an amazing mama and amazing mama’s make this world go around. #yvpagm x Read more…

6 meaningful ways you can support all mamas on Mother’s Day

TwitterFacebook

When you set aside the corporate gimmicks and ad campaigns, Mother’s Day is simply an opportunity to honor the mom — or mom-like figure — in your life for her sacrifices, wisdom, and love. 

But it’s also a chance to think about motherhood in general and how we can support moms everywhere, regardless of whether they’re a blood relation. You can begin by learning more about the various challenges mothers face in the United States and abroad, and then follow-up with action by lending your voice or dollars to an important cause working to reduce or eliminate those disparities.
