Sunday, May 8th, is Mother’s Day, but it’s essential to honor mothers’ role in our lives every day! There’s no better time to express how much you appreciate moms and stepmoms than Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day is an excellent opportunity to…
- Bond with mom and spend quality time together
- Develop a bond between children and parents
- Show how much we love our mothers
Here are a few ways to thank mom on this special day and celebrate a fantastic Mother’s Day!
How to Celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day
1. Give Them a Thoughtful Gift
Cards can be a meaningful and thoughtful gesture, but a gift is an even better way to let mom know she’s appreciated. Whether she’s a fan of jewelry or has mentioned she could use a new mug, Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to pick up something special.
2. Take Her Out for Lunch
Going out for lunch or dinner is a treat for mom and a great way to spend quality time together. If she isn’t a fan of going out, prepare her favorite lunch at home – she’s probably shown you how to make it! Talking over a meal can be a great way to bond and laugh over fond memories and make new ones.
3. Video Call with Her
If distance keeps you from celebrating Mother’s Day in person this year, give your mom a phone call. She’ll no doubt enjoy seeing your face, and you can show each other your surroundings to help you feel closer together. Better yet, use a video call service like Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
4. Help Her Out
Mothers tend to have a lot on their plates, and Mother’s Day is a great time to help mom out. Offer to help her m mow the lawn, pick up around the house, or do the dishes to give her time to relax.
5. Set up a Date for Her
Bring out your inner romantic and lavish your Mom with all the love she deserves. Plan a dinner date for her and her significant other. If you’re a good cook, impress your Mom and her Man by inviting them over for dinner.
If it takes you an hour to cook Minute Rice, then order take out from her favorite restaurant. You can make this a family bonding opportunity at the same time by engaging your kids both in the preparation and serving of the meal.
There’s truly no better time than Mother’s Day to thank our mothers for all they do for us. Whether you live a few streets away from mom or in another country, we hope you find a special way to celebrate this year!
Happy Mother’s Day!
