MUM. MAM. MOM. No matter what you call her, you’ve no doubt looked for her help many times over the years.

Mums have a great way of giving advice, on everything from the big questions to the small things.

As today’s mother’s day, we’re asking what the best advice your mum – or the significant mum-figure in your life, whether she’s a step mum, granny, or guardian – gave you.

To kick you off, here’s the best advice our mothers gave us – and happy mother’s day to our mums!
