Mother’s Day

Mother’s day has dated back to the ancient Greeks and Romans where they held festivals in honor of mother goddesses. But it did not become an official holiday until 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

What Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day

Buying a gift for mom is a great way to celebrate and show her that you love and appreciate everything she does. Only you know what your mom likes and what she will enjoy. But buying a gift is not the only way to show your appreciation.

With the past year of the pandemic, businesses closing down, and some losing their jobs, money may be tight. So, if you need some ideas to show your love without spending money you have come to the right post.

Sleep In

Such a simple thing but means more than you know. I took sleeping in for granted when I was able to do so. After having kids they wake you up as soon as the sun rises. Some even get up before that. So, allowing mom to sleep in and wake up when she is ready is a great gift. Or maybe give her some time in the afternoon to lay down for a nap without worrying about the kids.

Breakfast in Bed

Moms are the ones who plan, prepare and clean up most meals throughout the day. A great way to show your appreciation for your mom is just to make a simple breakfast and allow her to eat in the comfort of her bed. Eggs, bacon, and toast or a stack of pancakes and fruit sound so delicious. Also, make sure she has some time to sit and drink her hot cup of coffee without having to reheat it multiple times. Make sure to clean up afterward too.

Time Alone

As a mom of two young toddlers, I am with my boys constantly. Give mom some time alone to relax. Take the kiddos to the park and give mom a couple of hours to soak in the bath or read a book or let her do whatever she likes to do to relax.

Time with her Kids

This one is ironic after reading the one above. But moms of older children who do not get to see their kids as often would love to spend time with them. Take her out to eat, plan an outing or just spend some time with her. She will greatly appreciate the time spent together.

No Arguing

If a mom has multiple children then there is bound to be some form of arguing throughout the day. Give her a day free of fights and arguments. Or take your argument to Dad to referee.

A Clean House

If you sit back and think about how your clothes get cleaned every week and how the house stays picked up. Most likely it’s because a mom is the one continuously doing laundry and cleaning the house. Maybe do a load of your own laundry or clean up your room or living room. The less for your mom to clean up the better, she will love the effort.

Take Her out to Eat

I know not everyone is able to do this, but if your area is opened up take your mom out to eat. Allow her to pick her favorite place and have a nice meal out together. If you are concerned about eating out then find a place that you can order out and pick up your food. Maybe bring it home or take the meal somewhere for a picnic if the weather cooperates.
