What makes a Super Mum?

Mother's Day is almost upon us, and Interflora will have one of their busiest days of the year delivering flowers and brightening the day of thousands of Mums. Parenting is the hardest job in the world, so every parent has to be at least a bit super, but what do children think makes you a Super Mum? My little boys were asked by Interflora what they thought were the things that make a Mum super?


Thankfully they only listed things I'm fully capable of! The unedited version has 3 mentions of the Playstation and several more mentions of sweets. They're a fickle pair....nice to see how much they enjoy going to museums and the LEGO shop though.

While flowers are lovely, they aren't the only, nor the greatest, reward to being a Mum. I was asked to give my thoughts on what the biggest reward to being a Mum is, and this is my answer.....


A far harder job than I imagined, I decided in the end that my biggest reward comes from watching my children have compassion and care for each other. I'm proud of them when they achieve anything, and I have huge folders full of certificates and badges for every child, but it's the things that don't earn a prize which I value more.

Some of the best videos will be added to a compilation tape by Interflora, which will be shown in the run up to Mother's Day this year.

We were provided with a children's Lexibook video camera in order to film the videos for this post, and as a thank you to the children for taking part.

    1. At times!! :D It was very sweet. I'm totally using 'going to the shop with Jake' as a huge bribe now though!
