Mother’s Day is something that is honored all around the
world with special events and activities to make the day unforgettable no
matter where you are. Ideas abound from eating out to time at a spa,
taking in a show or just giving her a day off - there is ALWAYS something that can be
done to spoil your mom.
Mother’s Day accounted for 25% of floral
purchases for all of last year, with only Christmas coming in slightly
above. I know my kids when they get old enough will probably fall into that
category as they are already bringing me bouquets of dandelions as early
Mother’s Day gifts. But Mother's Day isn't really about the flowers...
Being the mother of younger kids, the homemade cards
and the IOU booklet of chores they promise to do when I redeem is something I
always look forward to. The incorrectly spelled words and the pictures of
hearts, flowers
and stick people that typically lead into "when can we eat the cake", is now a
fun tradition on all holidays not just Mother’s
Day. The joy with small children is these letters and presents come every day
for me; the daily reminders that I am appreciated and loved are truly appreciated. While the tokens may dwindle as my kids get older, I hope they never stop.
So in thinking of the special Mom's (or like moms) still in your life, remember show them how much you love and appreciate them. Do something nice more than once a year (On Mother's Day) since she
probably deserves a little something extra to make up for that one time... a small something...that you are totally sorry
for…
Happy Mother’s Day to all
the Moms out there!
