Mum, you’re the best

MY best friend Nellie Hodgson is the best mum in Noosa by far.
She is a single mum of three children, aged 5, 3, and 1, and although she has limited funds and is having a rough time, she is a wonderful mum who finds the time to cook, clean, garden and spend special time with each of her daughters. She also helps out at the school when she can and comes up with inexpensive fun ways to have fun with the children. She has taught herself crafts, how to face paint and make toys. She gets down and dirty playing in the rain, takes the girls on walks, rides bikes and so much more. She is a constant fountain of positivity and support for her community and friends. Her children are happy, healthy and obviously adore her. A stronger, more loving mother, you will not find.

My Mum is the best mum in Noosa because she always makes sure we have lots of cuddles, kisses and food. She always walks the dog and lets him sleep inside. She is the best mum in Noosa.

We grew up with little money, but my Mum always went without to make sure me and my two sisters had everything we needed. Even today, when we’re all in our thirties, Mum will help whenever she can and is always willing to babysit the pack of grandkids. She is such a selfless person who just wants the best for us. She is the kind of person who will lend you their last $5, if you needed it. Thanks for everything you have done, Mum. You’re one of a kind. You deserve the world this Mother’s Day!
