She left on Thursday and I had so much fun with her while she was staying with me. She also helped ease my loneliness since Josh went away with my dad for a big fishing trip and won't be back for another week.
I have a few posts planned for next few days re: my sisters visit so keep an eye out for them.
However, today I thought I would share some pictures from a coffee date I had with my lovely mum last weekend.
While I was home in Bundaberg last weekend, she took me to this adorable new cafe near Bargara (Queensland, Australia). It was this homewares/gift/cafe shop and the decor was adorable! We ordered some cappuccinos and a slice carrot cake to share (it was bloody amazing!) and did some much needed catching up!
Now that I live a good 5 hours drive away from my parents I really value any time I can spend with them and it was so nice to have this little outing with my mumma - the majority of our conversation was about wedding stuff! So much wedding planning on my mind at the moment!
Do you guys have a good relationship with your folks? Does absence make the bond grow stronger?
That's so cute, I'm really close with my mum too. Aren't mum's the best? :)
ReplyDeletethey are pretty darn awesome!
DeleteAww these pictures are cute! I'm glad you had such a nice coffee date :)
ReplyDeletexo, Heather
Look like a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteMy dad died when I was as young as 13. My mum and I are very close but we are often busy to chat properly, which I feel a little sad about. I am going to make more effort, thanks to you

That is so sad - I couldn't imagine going through something like that :(
DeleteOn the upside I am glad that you have a close relationship with your mum!
I get along with my parents so well! On the other hand J doesn't get along with his family do well, but like you they are all from/in bundaberg, and we're not too far from Melbourne. Not so convenient for visiting!
ReplyDeleteReally from Bundaberg too? What a coincidence!
DeleteCute post!! Love your blog.

Cute pictures! Looks like you had a good time with your mom. :) I'm glad you were able to visit with her and not feel lonely!
ReplyDeleteThat coffee looks amazing, by the way!

That carrot cake looked scrumptious! It would be the kind of thing my mom and I would share together too. My mom and I live 800 miles apart and every time I see her it is bittersweet knowing I have to leave again. I want time to stand still for just a bit!
ReplyDeleteThat is such long way away - now 5hrs drive doesn't seem such a distance.
DeleteCute post and cute pics! :) I have a pretty good relationship with my parents and considering I now live 22 hours away from them, absence really does make the heart grow fonder. I miss them terribly sometimes and whenever I get a chance to go home I take it. I hope the wedding planning is going wonderfully! :)
ReplyDelete22 hours is crazy - do they live overseas? Wedding Planning is going well thanks - I would share on the blog but I am trying to decide what to save until the big day and what to share along the way...
DeleteI live with my mum still, but that'll be changing soon. I love her so much! We (my sister, mum & I) weekly try to go out for coffee or something. I don't want to take them for granted while I'm here because I know I wont see them as much once I move out, even though I'll be 15 minutes away. haha.

At least you can still go over when you don't feel like cooking dinner - 15 minutes away is a good compromise :)
DeleteAbsence has definitely helped my parents and I build a stronger relationship. At least it's that way with my dad, my mom not so much.
