Together, we’ll inspire a generation of empowered mothers who know that success is not measured solely by the hours spent, but by the love, determination, and joy we infuse into every moment.”

Lifestyle influencer Melissa Koh uploaded a clip of the most defining and intimate moments of her motherhood journey, from post-delivery moments to breastfeeding her children. The video is particularly poignant, as her second child Asher has recently passed away from a heart condition. The 33-year-old, who is married to James Chen and has an older son, Noah, gave birth to her third child, Oliver, just weeks later.

Brie Benfell took the day to reflect on her motherhood journey, from an ode to her own mother and the fleeting moments of being a mum to the challenges of parenthood and a reminder to not be hard on herself.

“I’m proud of myself. I’m not the perfect mother but have every intention to be,” she wrote. “Don’t be so hard on yourself and don’t compare! Just take it day by day. Recognise your strength because holy sh*t, it’s out of this world.”

The 35-year-old mum of two has a daughter, Theadora, who turns three this year, and welcomed her son, Everett, in July 2022.

Influencer and entrepreneur Drea Chong also shared the highlights of her motherhood journey, compiling them into a short video.

“Thank you to my boys for choosing me to be your Mommy,” she says. “I would give anything to travel back in time to revisit these everyday moments, which as time passes, seem to fade from my memory – Like the song goes, if you two ever move on without me, know that you two are the only ones I’ll ever love.”

She and her husband Imran Rahim are parents to Ezra, two, and Elia, one.

In an Instagram post that shows her and her mother, veteran actress Xiang Yun shares a Chinese proverb that has stayed with her since her adolescence, which translates to, “Our body, hair, and skin are received from our parents, and we should not harm or damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety.”

Directing the message to her mum, she says that she has always taken care of herself because she loves her mother. She also wished her, and all the mums in the world a Happy Mother’s Day.

How cute do Kelly Latimer and her mum look in their matching pink outfits? The host and presenter also shared a lighthearted post about what really matters on Mother’s Day: Getting lots of affection from her two children, also spending time with the Dads, watching her children bond with their godmother, and of course, getting to lie in.

No matter how old we grow, we’re always kids in our parents’ eyes. Now based in the UK, Jamie Yeo reflected on what she enjoys most about work trips back to Singapore: being showered with care and concern by her mum.

“She makes me breakfast, teaches me how to take the bus and MRT, and helps me carry stuff I need for work, and buys lots of things for the grandkids that I have to carry in my luggage back. (Great workout!) Thank you for all that you do and happy Mother’s Day @sal_yeolh!” she wrote.

From cards to homemade treats or even breakfast in bed, it’s the little thoughtful gifts from kids that mums appreciate the most. For Xu Bin’s wife, Evelyn Wang, it’s the tulips chosen by his son Ethan. They also have a daughter, Elyse.
