The heart of the book

In loving memory of my mum

In loving memory of my mum, who we lost in 2020. There isn’t a day I don’t miss you. This book is my little tribute to you, and to all the silly sayings, laughter and memories that will stay with me forever.

I hope it brings back memories from your own mum too, and reminds you of all those special moments, the everyday chaos and the things only mums say!

Love always. – Emma
