A Heartwarming Mother’s Day Morning

As I slowly woke, the delightful aroma of a freshly cooked breakfast wafted through the house. My husband and the kids were up to something – the joyful whispers and excited giggles were a giveaway. Moments later, they burst into the room with a tray – a beautiful spread of golden toast, perfectly cooked eggs, grilled halloumi, sautéed mushrooms, and crispy hash browns. My heart melted, not just at the sight of the delicious feast but at the love they had poured into making it.

But the surprises didn’t end there. My little ones eagerly handed me the gifts they had made and chosen with so much love. Gorgeous handwritten cards, a beautifully designed pen and notepad – treasures from school that I would forever cherish. And from my husband, a pair of soft, cosy UGGs and a stylish wallet – practical and thoughtful, just like him.

As I sipped my warm coffee and enjoyed the lovingly prepared breakfast in bed, I felt a deep sense of gratitude. Mother’s Day is more than the gifts or the perfect breakfast – it’s about those precious moments when love is served with a smile, and memories are made in the simplest of ways.

This Mother’s Day was a reminder that sometimes, the best gifts are the ones that touch the heart, wrapped in the laughter of loved ones and sealed with a hug.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day too. I feel so blessed and incredibly lucky to be the mum of these two beautiful kids.

Celebrating Nepali Mother’s Day in Australia

In Nepal, Mother’s Day — known as “Aama ko Mukh Herne Din” (आमाको मुख हेर्ने दिन) — is a beautiful occasion dedicated to honouring mothers and mother figures. It is celebrated by showing love and appreciation, often through gifts, special meals, and simply spending time together. In Nepalese tradition, this day is as important as birthdays or major festivals, with families coming together to express their gratitude for everything mothers do.

Even though I now live in Australia, I make it a priority to celebrate Nepali Mother’s Day with my children. It’s important to me that they grow up connected to their heritage, understanding the traditions and values I was raised with. Sharing these customs helps them not only learn about their roots but also appreciate the universal value of love, respect, and gratitude towards parents.

We celebrated yesterday with the traditional tika and sagun ritual, a meaningful part of Nepali culture that honours mothers with blessings and auspicious offerings. It was so lovely to see both my kids excited and eager to follow the tradition themselves. They carefully performed the puja, applying tika and offering sagun with genuine enthusiasm, which made the day even more special for me. Passing on these rituals not only connects them to our roots but also helps them understand the significance of respect, love, and family bonding in our culture — even while living here in Australia. It’s these moments that remind me how important it is to keep our heritage alive across generations, no matter where we are.

Happy Aama ko Mukh Herne Din to all the wonderful mums out there — near or far!
