The True Heart of Motherhood: A Reflection by Victoria

As Mother’s Day draws near, I find myself reflecting on what it truly means to be a mother — and now, a grandmother too.

There’s a quote I love that says, "Life doesn’t come with a manual; it comes with a mother." It’s simple, yet it captures the very essence of what motherhood is to me.

Being a mother has been the most rewarding journey of my life. Watching my children grow into incredible humans — navigating their own adventures, chasing their dreams, and building their own lives — fills my heart in ways I could never fully put into words.

Motherhood is a tapestry woven from countless moments: unconditional love, boundless warmth, fierce protection, pride so big it feels like it might burst from your chest. It’s laughter so deep it makes your belly ache, and tears — oh, so many tears — both the joyful and the bittersweet.

It’s about holding tiny hands and later letting them go. It’s late nights, early mornings, quiet worries, and loud celebrations. It’s being a safe place, a home, a steady light no matter how stormy the world outside becomes.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, it feels fitting to honour the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures who have given so much of themselves to nurture, guide, and love us.

A beautiful gift from our Mother’s Day collection is more than flowers — it’s a heartfelt thank you. Each bouquet is crafted with care and thoughtfulness, just like the love she’s given so freely. From timeless roses to luscious garden-style posies, every arrangement is designed to reflect her unique spirit and style.
