Mother's Day is Sunday 9th May 2010, and to celebrate we have asked some inspiring mums the question, "What Does Being a Mother Mean to You? "

To me being a mother means putting my son Emmanuel before anyone else, sharing in all his milestones and watching him grow and develop his very own personality.

Being a mother means celebrating any mother…. even those mums with empty arms and heavy hearts this Mothers day.  A special tribute to all the mothers who have loved and lost.

Being a mother means I learn every day. Sometimes the lessons are really hard and sometimes they are sweet reminders on what my life is about.

It’s the little things they do that melt your heart, often it’s 11pm at night, all is quiet and I love to stand and watch his pure innocence. A cuddle from my son is all I need to make all my worries disappear!

kristy lee Being a mum means learning how to juggle like you have never juggled before, prioritise and plan like a maniac only to discover than in the end there is only one ‘real priority’ and figuring out that unconditional love takes over for even the most non maternal of us.

life and love to others. We are designed for it! Being able to create anything and to love without expectations is what I've learnt, being a mother is such a priceless gift. There are no words to describe the feeling; I think a smile can say it all!

Being a mother means loving someone more than I ever imagined possible.  It means having someone in my life whose happiness and security I will protect with a passion I never knew I had.

Being a mum is knackering, but huge fun and brings lots of love and laughs and reminds us what innocent gorgeous beings children are…illustrated this morning with Francesca going off to her first school disco proudly sporting a pink sequin top and a black sequin puff ball. Oh to be 5 again!!!

So many things really: It's fun, rewarding, thrilling, demanding and challenging.  It's been an amazing journey filled with incredible highs and incredible lows (you know the mother guilt thing when you feel you just aren't delivering no matter what you do!) Most of all it makes me appreciate my mother a lot more!

Being a mother is like experiencing life all over again through the eyes of your child. Being a mother means that you are responsible for another person in terms of what you can teach them today to assist them later in life.

Being a mother means wearing many hats, even when they don’t fit properly.  It means keeping 10 balls in the air with your hands tied behind your back.  It means giving encouragement in the face of adversity and picking up the pieces when it all goes to custard. But it also means a richer life experience, giving and receiving unconditional love and being reminded everyday of what really matters in this life.

soula marie perdis Without doubt being a mother is the single most important achievement of my life. I have four incredible daughters with completely individual points of view. Nothing else is as fulfilling as watching them grow up, watching them interact and sharing their achievements. And, of course, my mother is also a vital part of the process.

And one from me:

Being a mother means my child always comes first. It means unconditional love and amazement at how quickly my son is growing up.
