"And the cards, I really like the cards because they've put the effort in and it's just special because it's from them."

Mrs Willis said that her fondest Mother's Day memory was when her children were younger and they attempted to make her breakfast in bed.

According to Mrs Willis having a little message and photo in the paper is a really cool idea because it is something that you can keep.
