It’s Mother’s Day, a time to celebrate all the wonderful mums, grandmothers, and maternal figures in our lives.

For those of us here on the Hibiscus Coast, today offers a perfect moment to reflect on the importance of the women who’ve shaped our families and our communities.

The tradition of honouring mothers dates back centuries, starting with ancient Greek and Roman festivals dedicated to mother goddesses.

In medieval Britain, people celebrated Mothering Sunday on the fourth Sunday of Lent, a time for families to reunite.

Today, the modern Mother’s Day is a beautiful celebration of the love and care mothers give, not only to their families but to the broader community as well.

Whether you’re treating mum to a special breakfast, enjoying a family outing, or simply sharing a quiet moment, today is about showing appreciation for all that she does.

So here’s to all the mums on the Coast—your dedication, love, and care make this community what it is.

Wishing you all a beautiful and peaceful Mother’s Day!
