To celebrate Mother’s Day this year Hibiscus Matters asked readers to tell us the best advice their mother ever gave them, for a chance to win a Mother’s Day hamper from Life Pharmacy Ōrewa.
By far the most popular advice given out by mums to their children is to ensure you wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident – we received more than 10 entries to this effect!
Special mentions go to Lucy Mills, whose mother’s advice was: “money doesn’t always equal happiness”; to Anna Biggelaar whose mother told her: “there is always something positive to find in any situation or person if you look for it,” and also to Jo Shaw who says that the best advice that her mother ever gave her was: “be good to your children – they are the ones that choose your rest home!”
However, the winner was Tracy Warrington of Army Bay, whose mother’s advice was “Always do your best even when no one is watching, and be kind, we don’t know the struggles others are going through”.
Thank you to everyone who entered and thank you to Life Pharmacy Ōrewa for making this competition possible.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day on May 8.
