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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
