I hope you often shower your mother with praise and adoration, but of course, you can't forget her 'day'! Retailers love this weekend because people spend a mint buying dinner, purses, jewelry, artwork and other lovely things moms enjoy and deserve!
Now, If you are feeling the pinch this year and trying to think of some ways to show mom just how much she means to you, while saving money at the same time, here are some ideas:
- Offer to clean her home 1 day a week for an entire month - (priceless in my book)
- Have a family fun day - have the kids put on a talent show for their grandmother
- Offer to run her errands - moms are so busy, anything that lightens the load is wonderful
- Cook a special dinner for your mother instead of making reservations - complete with flowers
- Create a video of family pictures set to music with funny or inspirational messages
- If you are handy with a tool belt - fix up a few things around the house, paint, clean out the garage/basement
- Detail mom's car - give it a deep clean inside and out - leave a nice message on the dashboard
- Take mom to breakfast instead of dinner - allows her to relax the rest of the day
- Sometimes all that's needed is your company, spend the day watching movies, playing board games
- Give mom a big hug, big kiss and tell her what an impact she has made in your life... priceless
Wishing everyone a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY... especially my own mother, who is a true gem, I thank God for placing her in my life....
