Mom's are the best, aren't they?

They are up at the crack of dawn doing loads of laundry, cleaning the dirty dishes, and sweeping the messy floors!

Many of us don't even know how to begin to thank our moms for all they have done. I mean, they have given us the beauty of life, right?

When we want to thank our moms in some way, some of us go off and blow our budget to try and show appreciation for our mother.

But that doesn't have to be the case!

At least, not with me.

I have gathered 5 ways to honor your mom for all she has done for absolutely FREE!

FREE?

Yes, free! No cost at all.

Here we go.


1. Bring her a home-cooked meal in bed. This can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

That one morning she takes a little extra time to sleep in, surprise her with her favorite breakfast! Or let her know she doesn't have to cook dinner and instead tell her to go to bed, then bring her in a meal on a tray. And while you're at it... make me one too!


2. Do her laundry for a change. I mean, she has been doing yours for years... How about returning the favor for the day?

Those dirty socks of yours that she is always cleaning and bleaching that shirt over and over. How about you switch roles for the day? Let her take a break!


3. Give her a massage. She is your MOM! She has to put up with YOU all the time.

I don't know many people that would turn down a massage. So why not? Next time you see your mom either at hard work or just chilling around the house. Tell her to lay down and relax, then go grab the lotion and have at it. I am sure she has several knots on her back that you can help get out!


4. Wash and clean out her car. freshly vacuumed carpets. She will definitely appreciate that one!

Your mom is so busy trying to take care of you that she barely makes enough time for herself. Treat her with a nice new scrub to her car and freshly vacuumed carpets. Next time she gets inside her car it will smell so nice, she won't have anything to do but breathe in, then smile, and thank you later!


5. Write her a letter.

Write how much she means to you and how much you appreciate her. Remind her of what she has done for you and how you wouldn't be here without her. This one is the best because it is personal and can be saved forever to look back on.

But, no matter what you decide to do for your mom, I am sure she will love it!

After all, she loves you!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
