My mum’s hair is brown and long, and she ties it up. She is 1.68m long. She smells like strawberry perfume, and she gives me lots of cuddles and love. She makes me feel at home.
My mother likes to bake a cake and rusks. My mother likes to help us with our homework, she always packs our lunches and she makes dinner for us every night. She vacuums my room and my sister's room too. She is the nicest mum ever, sometimes she gets angry at me for not listening.
My mum and I like to bake, do homework and do science with the family. We sometimes help with the laundry and to clean the house. She makes me feel so happy and helpful to the family.
