Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Today I am grateful for my Mum. Its her birthday today and I am looking forward to having a nice family BBQ to celebrate this afternoon.

My mum is an incredibily strong yet vunerable person. She wears her heart on her sleeve and puts herself out there for things she believes in and people she loves. She is my inspiration as a mother myself - if I could be even half as selfless and loving as my mum has been, then I will be proud of myself as a mum.

My mum has cared and nursed people in our family that have needed support and love and I have seen her be almost consumed by the pain and grief of nursing her parents until they passed away. She is now a tireless koala rescuer and puts everything into saving these poor sick little animals.

She has gone without to make sure my brother and I have eveything we have ever wanted. She has given so much to help me achieve my dreams of owning a property and competing horses. She still drives two hours up to help me at competitions, which is gorgeous and reminds us both of the "old" days of my teenage pony club years.

And last but not least, she is now the proudest grandmother I have ever seen. And everyone else gets to see it too as she carries around her digital photo key chain displayer and makes everyone look at the 50 photos of ELka on there!

I am very grateful today that I get to take my beautiful daughter and my amazing husband to celebrate my mother with her and my family.
