Welcome to One Pink Toothbrush, where I will be posting moments from my days as a mum and as a wife. Funny moments, messy moments, thoughtful moments, teary moments.... and hopefully using each moment to see what God might be saying.

Happy Mother's Day


What is a Mother?
I hear you ask...
Someone cheering on footie,
Maybe with a flask.
Someone working late,
Making a Book Day Mask.
Someone knowing what’s needed,
Before it’s asked.
Someone starting and occasionally finishing, 
A million tasks.
What is a Mother?
I hear you say…
Someone who attempts to keep
The monsters away.
Someone who wishes there were 
More hours in a day.
Someone who worries about you
So sits down to pray.
Someone who seeks God’s path;
Following the narrow way.
What is a Mother?
I hear you question…
Someone made in God’s image,
A beautiful creation.
Someone with burdens to carry,
Without a mention.
Someone with love to give
And peace to bring during tension.
Someone who knows what’s happening,
Without her full attention.
What is a Mother?
I hear you proclaim…
Someone who is called ‘mum’, 
More than her own name.
Someone who has seen many accidents,
But yet to make a claim.
Someone who needs grace,
Where she’s taken the blame.
Someone who lives to glorify
Jesus’ name.
What is a Mother?
I hear you request…
Someone who is simply
Doing her best.
Someone who puts others first;
That’s her quest!
Someone who is hoping for 
Just a little more rest.
Someone who still mothers
Even with an empty nest.



A mother is usually the one
Who holds your heart
Who puts it back together
When it falls apart
Not all mothers
Are even mums.
We appreciate you all
Each and every one.
