Mother's Day is to a mom what a birthday celebration is to a child --
a special day in recognition of no one else but her. Make it truly
memorable by fluffing her pillow, smoothing her blanket and tenderly
kissing her forehead before bringing in the kids with a breakfast
tray filled with all the goodies she loves -- delectable scones
spread with her favorite jelly , a steaming cup of coffee served in a
cappuccino cup and saucer, and a chocolate mint truffle tucked
surreptitiously on the side. And remember, presentation is
everything. She'll appreciate the thoughtful touches you've added,
such as a linen napkin and a dozen pink roses in a crystal vase. When
she smiles in delight, tell her it's just the beginning...
Perfect for that special breakfast in bed
Gather the children 'round, then pile them into bed with mom (being
ever so careful not to spill!) in anticipation of the moment they've
been waiting for...her reaction to the special gifts they have
created just for her. There's the macaroni necklace strung on a
length of pretty pink yarn, a sparkling tiara adorned with lots of
silver glitter, and a Popsicle-stick penholder painted forest green.
After the oohs and ahs have subsided, Dad will give Mom his gift -- a
breathtaking necklace and earrings he has chosen just for her.
Fancy delicacies she is sure to love
It's a Mother's Day made in heaven for any mom, and one she's
sure to always remember. But regardless of the gifts you buy her or
the presents the children create, it is made special because of your
love for her. Do tell her how much you appreciate her and how much
she means to you, then demonstrate your affection by giving her all
your time and attention this one special day of the year. (And don't
forget about the rest of those chocolates...she'll want to nibble on
those all day long!)
Mother's Day is right around the corner. Celebrate mom this year with plenty of crafts, recipes and plenty of other ideas. Here are a few examples to get you started...
