So it is Mother's Day today and I want to write a little spiel about why my mum is awesome.
Firstly here is a picture of me and my mum when I graduated back in November:
She's pretty snazzy, I must say.
Anyway, here's my list about why mum is awesome:
1) my mum is an amazing cook. She can make the most amazing dishes and bake the most fantastic cakes. Since I was nine, mum has taught me how to make most of her signature dishes like pavlovas (I just put one in the oven) and her pastas. Her food is the highlight of our parties and festivities, and her dishes have a place in many people's hearts.
2) while some parents and adults put down ridiculous hobbies and interests, my mum actually fosters it. She knows how much I love music and going to concerts, as well as anything involving Johnny Depp. If you don't believe me, she sat with me while I cried when I figured out MCR broke up, and she bought me Fall Out Boy's new album AND she asked me if I was okay when she heard that Travis Barker wasn't going to be playing the Australian shows. 
And we also have regular sing a longs to anything Queen.
3) she has fostered my interests in travel and culture. She encouraged me to apply to stay in Montreal for six weeks and she and my dad made sure I was prepared right until I entered the gates to my plane. Being fluent in French, she has immersed me in French culture and has helped me prepare for all my French oral assessments and my homework-even still in first year university. Furthermore, she is all for me applying to study in France for a year. Awesome right?
4) she's a loving sister, daughter, wife, aunty, god-mother and friend to all. My mum does not have a bad bone in her body and if I could be half the woman she is, I will be eternally grateful.

So today make sure your mum gets all the love because she totally deserves it.
