Welcome to Week 11 of #MaternityMondays and a special souped up Mother’s Day edition. With this linky being largely about motherhood we could not let the day celebrating and appreciating Mums pass us by without a bit of a mention. So here it is and this week #MaternityMondays is open longer than usual, from 6.30am Sunday to Midnight on Wednesday.

Feel free to link up any normal #MaternityMonday posts but we would also love to read any Mother’s Day posts too. Be it a celebration of your Mum or Wife (or any special Mum you know), any Mother’s Day crafts or sharing what you got up to on the day, we want to hear about it!

Thanks to all our lovely linkers from last week and thank you all for your support, we love our little community and it is amazing to see all the bump updates every week! You are all really progressing now with lots of lovely babas on their way very soon.

Speaking of which, we had a surprise arrival from Another Bun and the first part of her birth story so reminded me of LM’s early arrival! Huge congratulations to you and your little family and looking forward to reading part 2 about your natural C-Section!

I also loved reading Mama Mim‘s post about things she wish she had done before having children – no matter how much you want kids or how prepared you think you are, the little loves always turn our world upside down and I think many of us could relate to these!

I also really Seeking Adventure‘s roundup of her favourite pregnancy and baby books – there are so many out there and I always think it helps to hear whether they have actually helped someone!

This week, in honour of Mother’s Day I am linking up a little homage to my lovely Mum, including some amusing photos of us from over the years 🙂

Now it is over to you! Please grab our badge and share the linky love by commenting on a few other blog posts, it would be lovely if we could grow a little community to share the highs and lows of motherhood and parenting.

The linky is open Mondays only from 6.30am to midnight.
