Mother's Day is coming, so we ask five Hong Kong mum's their favourite things about starting a family
With Mother’s Day approaching, we asked some new mums how they’ll be celebrating and what’s best about being a mother.
Charlotte Chen
My husband and I look forward to celebrating my first Mother’s Day with our daughter in Singapore. We’ll probably have a picnic at the botanical gardens followed with an excursion to the zoo.
The best part about being a mum has to be witnessing our daughter, Dahlia, growing every day, and recognising parts of myself in her.
Candy Chuang
Neville and I will be celebrating with our families over a simple lunch at home with our son, so we can all spend time together.Mother’s Day has always been a special day in my family.
I find being a mother the most rewarding experience. Every moment we spend together is precious, and it has taught me to love and appreciate my family more than I ever thought possible.
Ankie Beilke
I have nothing planned for Mother’s Day, between taking care of my newborn son and setting up our new home, but I trust that something will come together, even if it’s at the last minute.
The most rewarding part of being a mother is waking up to his bright smile and watching him grow every day.
Claudine Ying
Since it’s my first Mother’s Day, Lloyd and I will probably extend it into a Mother’s Day weekend, and we’ll be spending it with my daughter and our mothers. We’ll be doing something low-key at home, and hopefully our sisters will be able to join us too.
The best part about being a mother is being able to experience these precious moments with my daughter; it’s simply the best.
Natalie Chan-Kwok
Justin and I like to celebrate Mother’s Day with a simple al fresco lunch with our families followed by a visit to a strawberry farm, since our daughter loves going strawberry picking.
Being a mother is the best gift I could ever have asked for, despite the early mornings and constantly feeling tired: our daughter brings the family so much joy and laughter.
