Motherhood does not come with a manual and women in that position often make up the rules as they go along. Many tips are passed on by grandmothers and great-grandmothers.

As we approach another Mother's Day, Flair invites mothers everywhere to share their 'Lessons from Motherhood' with our readers.

Share your stories with us and reveal some of those secret methods that have helped you to cope with crises, to navigate naughty behaviours, dispense discipline, and experience joy.

Your stories should be no more than 250 words and should be accompanied by a recent photo of you and your child/children.

We will publish your experiences in our Mother's Day edition of the Flair Magazine on Monday, May 11.

Win prizes from:KingAlarm, Adrienne, Cuisinart, Rainforest Seafoods and lots more.
