What Mums Really Want For Mother’s Day

One of the things mums really want for Mother’s Day is a break from one’s motherly duties, aka a mumcation.

We came across two mamas who knew this need first hand and decided to start an events company to give mums a well deserved break every now and then. Here’s the story behind Mumcation BW.

What inspired you to start Mumcation?

The idea came at a time when I felt drained and really exhausted because I was always busy with my kids. I never had a chance to unwind and relax which led to me having a mental breakdown.

So I asked myself how other mums were doing. I then met my partner, Victoria, who was also exhausted. So we figured ,”hey probably other mums are feeling the same way.”

That’s how Mumcation came about.

How long has it been since you’ve started? Was it easy?

We had our first event in 2020 just few months after lockdown.

We thought it was going to be easy, but it really wasn’t. We had missed a lot of things but none the less we went ahead with the vision. Our motivation came from knowing how hectic things had been for mums during lockdown.

We are advocating for healthy mums, mentally and physically. We believe that a well taken care of mum serves her family well.

Tell us about your favourite event?

I’d say our favorite event would be our first event, reason being that it ignited faith and passion in us.

We couldn’t meet our target as most mum’s still had the covid scare, and some people just wanted to stay home.

It remains our favorite event because regardless of that we still went ahead and made the most of it.

What’s the most challenging thing you’ve had to overcome?

With events, the most challenging thing is tickets not being bought on time. We then have to run around at the last minute to cater for last minute sales. This makes planning challenging because you’d have thought everything is done.

What lessons have you learned along the way?

We’ve come to realize that there are so many mums who really want to attend the event but can’t because they don’t have childcare.

We’ve also come to realize that as mothers we face similar challenges and its always a relief to hear other mums share exactly what you go through.

Where do you see Mumcation in the next five years?

We want to see mumcation be a support system for mothers, not only for events but being able to chip in to struggling mothers needs. A support system that’s always ready to take in and assist mums who need help.

As far as events are concerned we’d also want to partner with nanny companies, so that they can watch over the kids while the mothers are having fun.

We are advocating for healthy mums, mentally and physically. We believe that a well taken care of mum serves her family well.
