The best advice my mum gave me: Amanda Palm, www.mindipalm.com

“The best thing my mum taught me was how to appreciate the value of money. Rather than dishing out money like a slot machine, my mother got me into doing chores at a very early age – things like laundry, vacuuming, gardening and even sewing. We received pocket money for ‘work’ to help my sister and I understand that money isn’t free. It taught us a huge lesson and we both teach that to our children today :)”

The best advice my mum gave me: Sarah Donges, Box For Monkeys

We had SO much fun posting our last Father’s Day blog series, ‘The best thing my dad taught me’ that we couldn’t miss the opportunity of doing this for Mother’s Day too! In the run up to Mother’s Day, our guest contributors will be sharing some of the best advice their mums have given them. We hope this makes you feel as good as it made us feel…

“The best thing my mum taught me was…that woman can do anything. My mum was told by her father that she could only be a teacher or secretary, her mum had no say. Mum raised her three daughters with the belief that men and woman are equal and we can do what ever we want.” – Sarah Donges
