Shout-out to all the mums out there: you’re awesome. I mean, taking care of a child is one thing, but bringing them out? It’s a whole new ball game. As an ex-kid myself, I can say that it involves crying, yelling and a lot of hissy fits – and sometimes, it isn’t from the little monsters.

Relaxing staycations and brunch cocktails might sound enticing – but it’s the special moments like watching the little ones live out their dreams of being dino-hunters, or learning how to code for the first time that mummy dearest will keep close to her heart.
The selflessness of a mother’s love is something we’ll never truly understand – which is why we think mummy deserves to treat herself to something extra special with the kiddos this May.
Taking snapshots to remember precious milestones may be enough to make you mummies proud – but there’s a greater gift to give yourself this Mother’s Day.
Treat yourselves this May with AXA Insurance, and get yourself a complimentary SmartHome Essential (Home) or SmartCare Shield (Personal Accident) policy for 1 year when you sign up for any new selected Life or Health policy.
With a wide range of health products for mothers from all walks of life, there’s something for every mum at AXA Insurance.
