1. Don’t Let Her Pick Up A Single Dish!
First things first, no cleaning, cooking, or chores of any
kind! Don’t let her do a single second of work. After all this is her
day!
2. Get The Little Ones Involved
If there are younger children in your family, have them
bring her breakfast in bed, or deliver flowers to her on your behalf. If
you’re giving your mom a special piece of jewelry, have the kids follow
up with a homemade friendship bracelet or candy necklace!
3. Brunch!
Her first meal of the day shouldn’t be anything less than
scrumptious! Either make reservations at the most delicious place in
town, or if that’s not your mom’s style,have the whole family practice
their omlette making skills before the big day! Either way, an act of selflessness like taking her out to a fantastic meal is the perfect way to pamper her in the morning!
4. Afternoon for Her
Once your stomachs are full, now it’s time for the real
fun! Does your mom dream of going that great spa downtown, but doesn’t
have the time or means? Does your mom want to go out shopping and get
those shoes she’s been lusting after for weeks? Or is your mom a nature
lover, just dying to go on a hike with the family? What ever group
activity fits her style, the whole family should get involved and make
the day exactly what she wants.
5. Beauty
Giving your mom wonderful smelling things is one of THE
best add-ons to a perfect Mother’s Day. There’s nothing like the
feeling of spritzing some new floral perfume on for the first time. This
Mother’s Day, I’d definitely recommend either getting her a great
bottle of perfume or – for the DIY family – making some yourself!
6. Relax!
Believe it or not, but a long day of being pampered can be a
bit draining. Though all these activities may be fun and relaxing, give
the family some downtime in their own home. Sitting in the family room,
relaxing, and chatting are where some of the best memories are made, so don’t forget this crucial step!
7. Gift Time!
On your birthday, there comes a special time of evening
when you can expect to be showered with gifts. For someone who raised
you, why not give her that special moment on Mother’s Day as well! For
the stylish mom, try giving her a statement or pendant necklace with her
favorite jewel.
8. Feast!
More often than not, moms are the best cooks in the family.
While it’s quite an honor, it’s also quite a burden to bear. Though the
rest of the family might not have your mom’s talent, put in twice as
much effort to create the perfect feast! Gather up recipes for ALL your
mom’s favorite dishes, grab a nice bottle of wine, get cooking, then
enjoy! Don’t forget dessert!
9. Perfect Pillow
Here’s a great tradition stolen from a friend of mine:
Every year, buy your mom a memory foam pillow, silk pajamas, or any
other luxurious bedtime gift you can think of. Hide it on her bed for
her to find just before she falls asleep, complete with a mint on the
pillow. Seeing your pampering through the entire day will be sure to
give your mom the best Mother’s Day yet.
10. Treat Your Mom How You Want to Be Treated (And Then Some)
We all have those moments when we think “if only there was
someone here to wait on me hand and foot!” Well, after all the moms in
your life have done, they deserve a day with this exact treatment. The
golden rule applies especially to Mother’s Day. Continually remind your
mom how much you love and cherish her throughout the day, and you’ll be golden!
