Mother's Day

Hello, Happy Sunday!

New friends — so excited you could join us this week! I’m Catherine Greer, author of The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe, and I’m so glad you’re here. Every Sunday I share what I’ve learned during the week…and I hope it helps you, too.

I had a thought yesterday…a bit of worry around all the things.

You can fill in the blanks, but my thoughts ran away with “During this time of when your new book is launching, why haven’t you done MORE exercise, writing, walks, meal planning….” and on and on it went.

And then I thought this.

I won’t, and neither will you.

If today is the day you’re celebrating mothering of any kind…or even if you’re not, maybe it should be a celebration Sunday.

You’ll never look back on your life and wish you celebrated less.

I hope you have a brilliant day, and that you take the time to love all the people you’ve been given to love.

P.S. The Fun Stuff!

  • If you’re mothering in any way—pups or kids or friends or friends’ kids—I hope someone makes you feel like Mother’s Day is for all of us.

  • New friends, can I tell you about my book? Women are LOVING it, so that’s keeping me happy. Canadians 🇨🇦 - The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe is now in Indigo. Also here in Canada. In Australia, in all bookshops, at BigW and Amazon. Here in America and here in The UK. THANK YOU - your support means the world!

  • You know how much I adore our beautiful Queen Victoria Building in Sydney. Here’s a quick and fabulous history tour.

  • I love this slim, super handy rolling cart. Japanese design. So useful!

  • And this collagen balm stick - think moisture stick for your face, but kind of like the loveliest lip balm you’ve ever smelled. But for your face, and not sticky. It’s wild. I love it.

  • The most useful iridescent YAY sign - perfect for all your celebrations. It’s so pretty in real life. Trust me. (Photo is a bit awful, really, but this sign is perfection).

Bring Your Own Weather To The Picnic

On Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my own mum. Here’s she is in her spry late 80s, stepping out at a beautiful barn dance wedding. She’s never too old to give things a whirl.

She enjoys JOY.

Wherever she goes, she brings her own weather to the picnic.

There’s probably not a greater compliment we can pay anyone.

When I think about all the people I am crazy in love with and admire — the friends I choose, the family I love, the family I’m raising — they always share that quality. They decide how the day will be.

Wherever they go, they bring their own good weather.

It’s so important to remember.

Sending you love as you celebrate your own mothers today.
