Today is Mothering Sunday! I like the fact that you have a day dedicated to Mothers. There should be more days for them in fact! Think about all the things your Mother has done/does for you, aside from the small matter of birthing you. I have mentioned my Mum a few times on my blog. And what?! I will continue to mention her as an when I please! Mainly because she is my main influence when it comes to cooking. And talking loudly. You can thank her for that too! People come from far and wide to sample my Mum's cooking. That may or may not be a slight exaggeration, but I just wanted to make clear just how good her food is. It is bloody fantastic. There are very few things she makes that I don't like. If I don't like something, chances are, I am the fussy one, and her cooking is not to blame! Except that one time she made soup and put too much lemon in. Oh and those rock cakes she made that were really like rocks.

Isn't it funny, how even though Mothers Day cards and gifts are waved in our faces as soon as you step into any sort of shop, we all seem to be rushing to the card shop on Saturday trying to find a remotely suitable card. When you were younger, it was ok because you had to make cards at school. Cards which probably had some sort of flower, maybe even a heart on, with a message inside that read something like "To Mummy. You are the best Mummy in the whole world. Thank you for making my packed lunch for me. Lots of love (your name) xxxxxxxxxx". As your language skills develop you might throw in a few adjectives like "kind" and "caring". Generally, when it comes to card buying, I tend to go for funny cards. I can't stand those slushy sentimental ones. I like ones with puns. They are probably my favourite. It's always a little disappointing when the recipient doesn't find the card as funny as I do. Which reminds me, I better go get a card!!

I need to tell you about this awesome film I watched over the weekend. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. You don't have to have seen the first one to enjoy it, in fact, there is a brief recap at the beginning of the second one that fills you in on what you have missed. Basically, this film is about "Foodimals"; giant food animals, and puns. So many cheesey puns. I LOVED IT. The hero of the story, Flint Lockwood, is a nerdy inventor who is basically trying to save the world from giant food items, and it's funny. Really funny. I saw The Lego Movie this weekend as well. Also funny. I recommend it. Just to clarify, I don't just watch animated children's films. I like Marvel Comic book films and I love Lord of the Rings. I am really boosting my street cred here aren't I...
