Mother’s Day is a day to show your appreciation for your mother and other mother figures in your life. Think about the effort and time a mother dedicates to her family and home. It’s invaluable and unmatchable! This Mother’s Day (and any day of the year) celebrate the woman who loved you from the very beginning. Show her your appreciation and take a self-care day yourself! It’s your day, too! 😊 Motherhood is lovely but also tough. It’s both rewarding and challenging. However, the love that you feel for and receive from your children makes challenging times bearable. Appreciate every moment. Days, years, and decades will pass by quickly. Make sure you love every moment. Love is the very essence of motherhood. In the process of creating a happy life with your spouse and raising children, think about yourself as well. Grow, learn, progress, and succeed! You’ll enjoy motherhood (and life) more when you feel accomplished and good about yourself! You can do the following activities Holiday Today suggests for your mother or allow others to do for you: Togetherness Ever notice how your mom always says she doesn’t want expensive presents? Believe her. She just wants to spend some time with you (yes, it’s a cliché, but that doesn’t make it any less true). So, take a hike or plan a picnic. Help her in the garden or hit the town. Even if it’s no more creative than a big bowl of popcorn and a “GOT” marathon, Mom will enjoy the QT more than any tangible present. Treat her Take her out. Find an amazing restaurant and treat Mom to a mimosa or three. Planning on taking her out later? The sky’s the limit for lunch and dinner options. Plan ahead. Make a reservation. Remember, you're an adult now. Listen up Listening is an act of love. So, with that in mind, take a break from talking about your own problems and listen to her talk about her life, her dreams, or her favorite memories. If you have siblings, get the family together and tell stories! You can also treat your mom (or yourself) to a day at the spa, hair salon or nail salon. If you prefer to relax at home, simply forget about chores, sit back, and play your favorite music! Celebrate others. Celebrate yourself. Celebrate motherhood. Celebrate life. Happy Mother’s Day!!
