I've been thinking back over significant Mothers Days over the years, and funnily enough, this one was one of the ones that came to mind.

This was one of the years my husband was away in the Lebanon and myself and the kids were really missing him.

Each morning started with the inevitable question "when will dad be home," and the day would end in the exact same way.

I found this chapter of motherhood particularly difficult as I couldn't take away their sadness, all we could do is talk about what we loved about him and wonder what he was up to or what he would eat for dinner etc.

I remember this day. We were mid Covid, no childcare, and working remotely when the doorbell went. This was a foreign concept at the time as noone had unexpected visitors. The three of us flew to the door.

As you can imagine, the excitement of the delivery was what really made them so special. The teddy was whipped immediately, as you can see. My son was thrilled with the accompanied balloon, and I was genuinely chuffed with my delivery.

Little did they know he would be home in a matter of weeks to surprise them ❀️

The hardest job on earth is being a mam, but it's the most rewarding by a mile, and all m**s, everywhere, deserve to be celebrated πŸ₯³

Today was a rare day, just me and the main guy in the shop. His words when he got into the shop were "please, mom, it's freezing. Can I sit right here where the sun is" so this is where he sat.

I stood back and watched him look out the window and greet all the people who came through the door. Some got hugs, some got high fives, and he even got to give a dog a pet.

As m**s, we rarely get the chance to observe like this, and it really was gorgeous 😍

It's fitting that Mothers Day is only 2 weeks away ☺️

A lovely day observing the baby of our family show the community his kindness πŸ’™

I was delighted to see the History of Ringsend reel made by .

I was up to my eyes, happily, on Valentines Day when 3 lovely people called into the shop and asked me a few questions and took a few pictures of the shop.

I didn't think much more about it after this.

Last night, a few people sent me on the reel. It really made my evening!

It's lovely to see the florist included in the story.

Growing up, I spent a week every summer up north in Enniskellen, I genuinely only have good memories from these trips. There were 4 children in the back of the car fighting all the way up, in those days your looking at a 4hr drive πŸ˜†

Once we saw the sign for the Killyhevlin we always cheered and the week was always a time of happiness. My dad was always at his most relaxed there and we always reconnected as a family for that precious week every year.

This year for my birthday I decided to bring my daughter up, just the two of us. From the moment we arrived we had a ball, it's just a feeling of complete calm and beauty there.

There were chats about the possibility of her staying there in some kind of boarding school with us calling up every weekend to see her when it was time to come home, she wanted to stay there forever πŸ’”

It reminded me what it's all about,the simple things and spending time together.

I'm fully relaxed and ready for Mothers day in a few more weeks ☺️

I'm working on a few ideas for bouquets for Valentines Day at the moment, and as I went to pull out the lap top, this picture slipped out.

This was me at the tender age of 22, I remember finishing lectures and flying to get the 46A straight to the flower shop every day. I worked each day between lectures. I've always loved flowers πŸ’

This was such a happy time in my life and yet I was wracking my brains thinking what my career would loom like,when I'd settle down,would I have children, where would I live etc.

I would be asked on a daily basis what my plans were after I finished college, and I'd just shrug, I didn't realise I was exactly where I was meant to be all along.

If only I knew what was to come πŸ˜†

I am a very reflective person, seeing this really made my day

I received a call about 3 weeks ago from a man who needed 40 carnation blooms for the same day. They were just needed singly, not made into a bouquet. I strolled up with them within the hour, and he called me back.

He asked for the same for the following week and the week after that, again. At this stage, I had to ask him what he needed them for as I was intrigued to find out.

He advised me that he travels a lot for work, and as a mark of his appreciation, he greets every person he meets with a button hole. I thought this was such a lovely idea. I pressed on and said, "Why do you do that? His response was simple "to show my appreciation and hopefully brighten up someone elses day."

Isn't that just lovely, I asked him to send a picture of his work, and here it is.

Not bad with no formal training πŸ˜€

I met a lovely guy during the week who ordered a corsage for a debs. He is a lovely guy and was very specific that the corsage would be exactly as the recipient wanted it.

The care he took in making sure it was precisely right was admirable, I didn't even get a corsage for my own debs 🀣

On collection today, I was handed this bag of treats, something for me and something for my children.

Aren't people kind!

I have been meaning to write this for the last 2 weeks and feel its important to put down on my first year anniversary in business.

When I look at these pictures from the launch of the business a year ago I can still feel the butterflies I did on that day, we had only finished getting the shop ready a couple of hours before welcoming everyone, it really was a passion project!

Firstly a massive thank you to all the people who have supported me and welcomed me, especially everyone locally!

It may have my name over the door but this dream of mine would not be possible without the love and support from my family in particular.

Poor Mick never leaves the shop without some type of job be it a delivery, a DIY job or some other (usually urgent) miscellaneous job and he does them all without any hassle. he has been a rock and encouraged me all the way, always there to celebrate all the big and small wins with me.

My siblings for their support in helping out with the business during busy periods or helping out with childcare, its great to know I have that backing all the time.

The nannies and grandads who have been helpful in a number of ways, but mainly backing the idea and pushing me along with encouragement and help when I needed it.

No woman is an island, certainly not me and for all the work I have put in this year I have had a great team behind me.

Here's to many more!
