Mum’s across the west will take centre stage on Sunday.
Their kids have been busy crafting homemade cards, shopping up a storm at the school Mother’s Day stall and putting the finishing touches to their breakfast in bed menus ahead of Mother’s Day.
Among those eagerly anticipating the special day is Jessica McCalman, who is looking forward to having a reason to celebrate Mother’s Day this year.
The first-time mum from Brookfield lost her mum 11 years ago and said Mother’s Day has always been a hard time of the year for her.
But this year, Jess will mark the special day with her 10-month-old son, Theodore (Teddy).
“I’m looking forward to celebrating it again,“ she said.
“I’m suppose I’m looking forward to spending time with my son. We are going out for dinner.“
Jess said she was enjoying motherhood.
“I’m loving being a mum,“ she said, “It probably helps that Teddy is very happy and sleeps well.“
