Mothers Day
/During my life, I have held many roles. By far one of the most treasured roles I have played in this world, is a mother. My girls have been such a blessing from day one. Seeing them grow into amazing young women, has been worth every sleepless night when they were babies, all the tears, and skinned knees. Celebrating mothers is a time of year that I love because I love being a mom, it is such a large part of who I am.
Since I love celebrating Mother’s Day, I wanted to take time out of this week to help anyone still needing ideas for celebrating their mothers this week. Often it is just the acknowledgement and effort that makes all the difference and impact. There are many things that can still be done that will make the amazing women in your life feel appreciated.
For me, it isn’t about the grand gestures but the small meaningful details that I’ll never forgot. It is the handwritten card or the small bouquet of my favorite flowers. It is about a meal shared together. There is still time to create a personal card –pro tip if you are not crafty, you can have someone turn your ideas into something you can give. You can even just write personal notes in the card. Recently, I was writing a birthday card and I wrote in a memory in a few places in the card where it mentioned things I loved about my family member. For example, it said “where we laugh together,” and I wrote in a specific memory about a time we laughed together.
If you have a home garden, you can make a beautiful flower arrangement for your table. Or you can take a few flowers from a farmer’s market and create a small arrangement to show your love and appreciation. Flowers can help make any table feel fresh and welcoming. There is a certain type of happiness that flowers can bring to any space.
No matter what you choose to do for the women in your life to celebrate them this week, make sure that you do something that will make them feel appreciated and loved.
