Walking to school, and the lightest pitter-patter of rain began.
My daughter said: “It is like a million little kisses.”
My daughter said her own name and its a hard name to say!
My most precious moment as a mum,
Was when I first my set eyes on my son.
I think still my most precious moment was when my first was born and I looked down and saw her..so much love I never knew possible!!! She’s now 13 and killing me…but I hold onto that moment with hope.
being told by my daughters teacher that miss 6 said she was getting a pair of zucchinis (bikinis) sweet because she is an only child and usually says grown up things.
Finding a card my daughter wrote saying ” You are the bestest parents in the whole town”
On graduating from Uni my son thanked me for my support, inspiration and love
Having any of my gorgeous grandchildren tell me how much they love me with no prompting from anyone and for no reason other than true love
We lost our 3 year old daughter this year and now I know: Every moment is precious
My daughter spilled flour, looked up with “I’m in trouble look”; instead I tossed a palmful up in the air & we giggled as it “rained” in our kitchen.
How our son says, “I love you” every night before he goes to bed – and he’s 18.
Watching every little milestone my 3 kids achieve and learning to be independent in their everyday lives 🙂
Watching my family grow up, knowing that I have taught them well and they have matured into young adults now. I only have 1 teenager to grow into an adult.
It was in the hospital room and watching my husband asleep with my newborn son asleep on his chest. Such a moment of joy!
When I held each of my babies for the first time
My most precious moment was very recently. My 6 year old daughter confessed to praying to God in her prayer journal that mummy would always be healthy and happy and lose the weight I need to lose to feel beautiful again. I have never been so moved nor felt as loved and appreciated as I did in that moment. I have had a really rough time with my health since having children and medication has resulted in my gaining a huge amount of extra weight very rapidly. It has been constant struggling and I have felt so under appreciated for a very long time it was so heart warming to know my baby isn’t as selfish I sometimes think.
Daughter aged 7 held up a bra in Kmart and said “Here’s the bras you like mum, the ones with the boobs already in them!”
Watching the joy on my daughters face as she cradled her first born. Still causes me to well up with pride
My oldest son who is 5 took his little brother by the hand (who’s 22 mo.) when were about to cross the street and said “I got you Ashy, stick with me”.
Right now sitting on the sofa with my two rug rats watching watership down. The memories..!
The day i got to Hold my son for the first time again three days after he had open heart surgery. I didnt want to ever let him go, it was also extreamy strange due to all the tubes and wires attached to him. I was just glad I could hold him close to me. Every moment I spend with my son is precious!
Every day that we share – learning, growing, living and loving together; knowing they are a part of my life fills me with joy.
Seeing the joy in my eldest daughter’s face as she plays with her baby sister, knowing our perseverance in having another child was worth it.
Sharing morning tea made by my six year old son with my two daughters in the sun yesterday. Just enjoying their stories and company.
Having 4 Beautiful Healthy grown Children and then becoming a Grandmother to 2 Adorable granddaughters 😉
Watching Mr 10 and Mr 7.5 help their little sister Miss 2 – the wonderment on her face is so precious and the love that they have for her is lovely.
Watching my 3 kids playing together, helping and sharing. I must of done something right for them to have such a beautiful bond!
My most precious moment as a mum was when my 5 year old daughter said she can’t wait for Easter ‘so I can spend time with you!’
I have had quite alot of precious moments over the past 15 years with my 4 children. However the one that really comes to mind was after my father and grandad both passed away within months of eachother my eldest son was 2 at the time and one day on the way to daycare he just piped up and said “hey I know, maybe Pa & father could get a parachute in heaven and parachute out of the sky” oh, was I wish they could, really tugged at the heartstrings that one, the innocence of children <3
Giving the gift of motherhood to a stranger (donated eggs) and recognising a mother’s infinite love on her face when she held her son.
Having a bad day, suffering “mothers guilt” and then being told out of the blue from my daughter that I am the best mum ever.
My son is Autistic and all I ever wanted was for him to tell me he loved me and call me mum and I remember the first time he said “Mum” and “I love you” and he was 6 years old. It was an amazing moment and I will never forget the first time : )
Seeing my little man smile for the first time, I saw both love and happiness in his eyes and his smile, it was perfect. I fell in love with him all over again.
Seeing their faces light up with joy and wonder when they learn something new or when I come home from work. Love!
Those quiet moments when I put them to bed and we whisper our ‘I love you’s’ to each other
Walking in the front door, taking a deep breath, and knowing Ruby was my closest connection in the world. I’d never be “alone”.
Seeing my twin boys laughing and playing together
Every night when my kids call me the best mum in the world. They are 16 & 13! I take that with me to bed every night! Cherish them both!
Having my middle daughter ask me to coach her basketball and softball teams. That time together is precious.
My very first ultrasound and seeing my baby inside me for the first time, was the most wonderful life changing experience.
That moment when you pick them up while asleep and they snuggle into your neck like it’s the safest place in the world… totally priceless!!!
When my little girl wakes in the morning, comes in to our bed to snuggle and we talk about how much we love each other.
My most precious moment was when each of my three children said their first word “Mama”.
Soooo many to choose from, but THE most precious moment with my son would have to be when he said “I love you Mum” at age 2.5!!! Loved it! He says it every day to me.
Every day that we share – learning, growing, living and loving together; knowing they are a part of my life fills me with joy.
Two precious sons, both loads of fun, too many precious memories to choose just one, melt every time they say “I love you mum”.
Nursing my Mum in the last months of her life and seeing her stretch marks and realising how the sacrifices we Mum’s make are beautiful!!!!
When my son asked me to play Lego with him ‘to make cool stuff’. I love it when they want me not need me 🙂
When I have my 3 children play nicely together & I hear the beautiful things they say to each other.
I have many 🙂 but one of my favourite precious moments as a mum is when one afternoon, when I was washing the dishes, my two year old son, Aaron, came up to me out of nowhere and asked me, ‘mummy, are you happy?’ I was so overwhelmed and I said, ‘yes Aaron, I’m happy, are you happy?’ To which he replied ‘yes, now I am’. Then he gave me a kiss and walked off. Precious!
When he plays clean the shower with his bath toys & tells me “It’s all sparkly clean. You don’t need to clean it now Mum!!!”
The first day I left her at daycare for a few hours and when I returned she repetitively kissed me on the face for it felt like minutes. The happiness and love was unforgettable.
When my one year old daughter walked towards me and held tightly onto my leg. I remember doing this to my mum….love.
The smile she gives me that says “I love you mum”
So many precious moments, but that first flutter of movement in early pregnancy is an awe inspiring magic moment.
I have a nine month old, and we had never been apart until very recently. My most precious moment was seeing her little face light up when I returned home! Not to mention the extra snuggly cuddles I received, I felt very loved.
Giving birth to my beautiful baby boy Jack after 11 pregnancies and one child it was a true blessing
Every morning when I wake up to their precious happy smiles & their excitement to start another day.
I have three most precious moments – gazing at the beautiful faces of my newborn babies after we had both laboured many hours to meet each.
The kiss on my cheek before they go to bed is my most precious moment 🙂
Every moment is precious with my girls
As they are only little for a little while
From their first steps, walk and then run,
But the best moment is when they say
I love you mum.
Holding my son for the first time after being told I would never have children. He is a true miracle.
The day my special needs child said her first word at 3.5 years old it was Mum.
When my daughter was looking at my belly button & then the pure joy when she discovered she had one too!
My most precious moment was when my daughter grabbed me and said I just love you too much mum. (3yo)
One of my most precious moments was actually today. My 4 year old appeared with a ‘present’ for her 2 year old sister. She had wrapped a banana (2 year olds favourite food) in a bandana scarf after the presentation and delight on my 2 year olds face, miss 4 got her up into her booster seat and helped her peel it. My most precious moment with miss 2 was the other night when going to sleep she lay in bed joyfully gargling the tunes to her favourite songs for a few minutes, then laughed quietly and went to sleep!
When our son was finally born after 25hr labor. He wasn’t breathing &the Doctor said for my Hubby to blow& our baby started to breathe & cry!!!
The most precious moment was the first time I held my daughter, at three days old, as we were both unwell… I will never forget that feeling, unbelievable!
When my daughter makes me laugh till it hurts. she is one funny little girl.
When my child just randomly tells you they Love You. Just special and brightens the worst of days
Still being able to get a cuddle from my son who is almost 12 years old
My 4 yo,(Now 20) holding her new born baby brother, saying “I’m the first one to every hold him aren’t I Mum?”
It was 11 days ago when I gave birth to a baby boy, at home surrounded by my midwife, husband and 3 little children.
Started when we found I was expecting twins! That was a phenomenal previous moment!

Watching our 4 year old teaching our special needs 8 year old the alphabet successfully. They just have a special connection
There are so many precious moments! One of the best is spending time taking in everything – looks, sounds, smells – as I hold my children close.
Beauty shining from within. Jumping on the trampoline a storm rolled in. Mr3 taking my hand stating “Don’t worry Mummy, I’ll look after you”.
I had just gotten dressed, and met my 2 year old little boy at the doorway, he looked me up and down and said ‘mummy pretty’!

It was when my second daughter cried for the first time. After her older sister was stillborn, it’s a moment my heart will always treasure.
That moment when they are just born and are placed onto your chest, you see them for the first time after wondering for 9 months how they would look. It’s a magical moment I will treasure forever!
The half asleep ‘I love you Mummy’ at the end of the bedtime story as I tuck him in and kiss him goodnight.
Hand picked flowers from the garden, even though they’re just the blooms without any stems. Precious really is an understatement.
the day each of my 4 girls were born..none was more precious than the other.
When my baby came out of my tummy and I saw her cute chubby cheeks for the first time! It made the painful-as-hell labour all worth it!
After 10 years of trying, I finally become a mum. Imagine my surprise when the 1st child was born 5.36kg, 11 pounds four 🙂
my daughter who is 5 lost her father last year to suicide. ( not that she knows that) said one day when i was crying, dont worry mummy i am here and always will be. what was even more touching was that i had been separated from him for over 4 years and was feeling very lonely as i am struggling as a single mum and wondering where the money will come from.

Realizing the importance of my own Mother and the help she has provided me every day of my life.
Having breastfeeding problems since birth, my daughter and I got up early one morning and as the sun came up she perfectly latched and fed – unforgettable.
When my daughter who is not a touchy, feely little girl gave me my first hug. They are far and few between but I cherish each one when they come.
Still to this day ……. thirty-seven years later ……… The birth of our son and the realisation that here was the product of our love.

Every moment with both my kids is precious
The day our first foster child arrived at our door, and the day our twenty fifth arrived only a few weeks ago, both precious moments.
My son has physical problems and it was the little things like sucking out of a straw at 4 and taking the first step.
If I thought laying eyes on my daughter for the first time was special, then seeing her as a bride was surely magical-just gorgeous!
When my eldest son tells me he loves me as he doesn’t express his feelings very often and it makes me feel special.
Most precious moment… First time my kids gave me a kiss for no reason.
The day my daughter gave birth to her own child, a beautiful boy named Vincent and became a mother herself.
I will never forget dancing in the rain with my son, he said “the storm will pass as we can dance in the rain mummy” today he uses this with his kiddies, nothing is ever too hard to achieve.
Hearing “i love you mamma” for the first time nothing has melted my heart quite like that
When my four year old daughter crawls onto my lap and cuddles me and tells me that I’m her best friend ever! Priceless!
Getting through a complicated pregnancy to see a healthy little boy at 38 weeks rather than 28 weeks like my doctor first thought.
