“Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother.” -Unknown.
Mother’s Day traditions vary and so does the day it’s celebrated on. In Botswana Mothers day is on the second Sunday in May. That’s this weekend. Yippee!
However it doesn’t matter what day you celebrate on, Mother’s always deserve some love and honour. That’s why Botswana Family Gems wanted to give one special Mum a gift. We have teamed up with Mosha Spa to give a spa GIVEAWAY valued at P1,450! If you haven’t seen it go have a look on our facebook page to enter.
