Yes, there is a "before she was Mom" but does she remember that? Do you? We all could show more appreciation throughout the year, but if you haven't showered all the love you should have, Mothers Day is the day to do the right thing by your Mom. Being a mom dominates her life and it may be difficult even for her to remember all the woman she is. While she is undoubtedly proud of everything she does for her family, Mom probably doesn't have the time or energy to pamper her inner and outer womanly spirit. She looks in the mirror, sighs, and wishes she had just ten more minutes to style her hair or apply makeup. She looks at her clothes and wishes for the time to shop for something pretty instead of practical. Or an hour once a week to take a yoga or exercise class to soothe her spirit. Maybe go on a hike or relax at a spa retreat. She puts this thought aside for the 1,001st time, and moves on to do the laundry, wash the dishes, go grocery shopping, prepare meals, pick up the kids at school, soothe them about every little problem, drive them to a sports practice or music lesson, and maybe juggles a job outside as well as her mom's job. Yikes! Mom's the heart and soul of a family, whether she's married or a single mom. But she is a woman first, so on Mothers Day, give her a unique gift to show you honor all that she is as a person. Just imagine how her eyes will light up and how delighted she'll be when she knows her family realizes and cares about a side of her that she has neglected so she could take care of you. Children can give her "pamper yourself" gifts * Chip in to buy a gift certificate to a spa, make a homemade banner, "We love our beautiful mom!" and hang on the wall over the dinner table. * Pay for a hobby or activity course that she's been talking about. * What about a gift certificate to her favorite clothing or jewelry store? With strict orders that she has to use it to buy something only for herself. * She will especially love this one: make up personal chore coupons that she can use to ask you to do so she has the time to do something she enjoys or just enjoy some "quiet" time. Husbands can give her a special romantic gift * Write a love letter or poem that tells her how you appreciate her as a woman as well as being the mother of your children * Treat her to a day at a spa then take her out to a romantic dinner separate from your family's Mothers Day celebration. * Give her a "total makeover" and then have a photographer take glamorous photos of her. Buy a frame to prominently display the best photo. * Give her a romantic gift in front of your children so they know how much you love her as a woman. Do a special presentation: serenade her, recite a poem or a love letter you wrote as you hand her your gift. Show Mom on Mothers Day that you appreciate and love the total woman she is and she will be forever grateful.
