8 Ways to Make Your Mom Feel Special on Mothers Day

8 ways to make your mom feel extra special on mothers day

32

Every year we have a day where we do the impossible to show all the love and gratitude we have for our mothers day wishes greeting ideas for 2019. And although it should be celebrated every day, we know that this coming Sunday you will put all your dedication and we have some ideas to make your mom feel more special than ever.

Let her sleep:

When was the last time your mom had time to sleep in? Probably neither can she remember it. On mothers' day, tell her to rest as much as she wants and forget about her morning chores. Meanwhile, the rest of the family can take care of preparing their favorite breakfast, buy a nice bouquet of flowers, and make a banner that says "We love you mom!".

Do the chores of the house (without being asked):

Do not wait for your mom to start picking up dishes from the table or washing clothes. Go ahead to your usual tasks and surprise her by doing them for her. An extra tip: plan some activity for her to do while you take care of fixing the house, like going shopping or taking a nap. All mothers deserve a break from home, and this is a good day to start (because helping her should be something you should do often, not just mothers' day!).

Organize a family picnic:

Ask the whole family to get involved in this activity and go to a picnic celebrating Mother's Day. Some options to take? Sandwiches, a cheese board, and green apples with honey are a good idea. Place all the dishes and food in a basket, and do not forget the drinks!

Give him a picture with the whole family:

And make sure that the photo you include is the most memorable: with your children, grandchildren, and pets if you have them. Or print your favorite instagram photo of it. Buy a frame that you can place in the living room or in the hall so that every day you remember the beautiful family you have.

Do not buy a generic card, better do it yourself:

Just like when you were a kid, make the messages for mothers day card yourself. Try to create a design that expresses your feelings and love towards her. And if you do not feel very creative, you can write in the message your devotion and gratitude for everything that only your mom has done for you.

Give her a spa day:

What mom does not like mimes? We doubt the one that answers no to this question. Invite her to the beauty salon to get a manicure, or you can make yourself a spa at home: give her a massage, get her favorite products, aromatic candles, relaxing salts, and prepare the bath so she feels more pampered than ever.

Learn to make your favorite recipe:

Ask mom to teach you how to cook her favorite recipe. Not only will you be flattered with this detail, you will also feel that you share a true mother-child moment. Tell her to explain how to prepare it while she relaxes and enjoys this day with her family.

Get tickets for a show

Your mother or your children's mother loves a band that will play in the city, have a play that she wants to go to or a film that is about to premiere in the cinema? Now is the time to get a couple of tickets and go out for a night to do something together and know that she will enjoy it to the fullest.

One of the best gifts you can give your mom on this day: leave no evidence that you planned her gift at the last minute. Plan the mother's day in advance so that you have enough time to buy the gift you had planned or organize any of these suggestions.

And do not forget to tell him how much you love her!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
