🌼🌻🌸💖Happy Mother's Day💖🌸🌻🌼
Mother - Noun
1. Someone who will love you unconditionally, till her last breath.
Mother - Verb
1. It's something you do , not just who you are.
Being a Mother is a choice you make every day to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you are not sure what the right thing is, and to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong.
Don't forget, a Mother's love is whole no matter how many times divided.
💕💕Happy Mother's Day to all of you magnificent Mothers, Grandmothers and those (sadly) filling the gap of a Mother💕💕
You are all living angels and should be very proud of the work you are doing, have done or are about to do.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
