Birthday Card Messages for Mum

Birthday card messages for mum: what to write

Writing to your mum is harder than it should be, mostly because there's too much to say. These birthday messages for mum give you a way in — funny, sincere or somewhere between — so the card says more than "love from".

Thank her for one specific thing from this year rather than everything since birth. Specific always beats sweeping.
