Whether you’re a bewildered new Dad looking for a suitable gift for your Yummy Mummy’s first Mother’s day, or a seasoned veteran at this old game who’s running out of ideas for your Alpha-Mum: we’ve got you covered.
Alpha-Mum |’alfə|mʌm| Noun.
A mother who has raised her children with as much grace and poise as they would allow, and has now released them out into the big wide world. Often found watching her over her now fully grown children with a content satisfaction as their own offspring throw uncontrollable tantrums in supermarkets. Now a lady of leisure, the lesser-spotted Alpha-Mum loves nothing more than long, well deserved holidays and a crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
Yummy-Mummy |ˈjʌmi|ˈmʌmi| Noun.
This fresh-faced, beautiful mother is the envy of women everywhere. Always on the go and somehow always looking great, she appears to navigate the hectic world of parenting with ease. She can be spotted balancing one child on her hip, helping the other with their spelling practice and whipping up a highly nutritional supper all at once. The most common reaction to the Yummy-Mummy is: “How does she do it?”
