Cleaning, cooking, working 24/7 all year round - a routine all so familiar with many mothers. On Mother's Day however, make it a wee bit different for your mom. Your goal is to make your mom smile on Mother's Day.
Still have no ideas how to do make Mother's Day special for your mom? Here are five great ways on how to light up your mom's face on this special day.
1. Be A Soap Opera Queen
Try this one out. Call your mom and tell her that you will not be able to visit her on Mother's Day because there are things that you need to finish up. Don't mind the disappointed voice at the other end of the line.
Now after an hour or two (depending on where you live), appear at her doorstep and surprise her with a big Mother's Day hug. Bring along her grandchildren, and some Mother's Day food, she would surely love it!
2. Today Is "No Chores Day"
Bring in the cleaners to your mom's home and have them do all the chores that your mom needs to do. Whisk her away from her home and bring her to the salon, spa, restaurant and eventually, to the mall. Tell her that for Mother's Day, she will not be doing any chores but she will receive all the pampering she deserves, after all, she pampered you for years.
3. Memorize Mom's Mobile Number
If your mom lives in another state, why don't you give her a call? A simple Mother's Day greeting will surely make her smile a thousand miles away.
If you live near your mom, try to find the time to drop by her house and bring along a homemade Mother's Day cake. Now that would make her smile even if it's raining.
4. Send Her The Sweetest Mother's Day Greeting
Don't think of copying some cliché Mother's Day greeting, which says, "Happy Mother's Day!" Be creative. Think of something that comes from your heart rather than from a website which you simply copied and pasted using your smartphone.
Mothers have the knack of identifying a sincere message from something that you don't really mean. That keen sense of smell is from the long years that she has been taking care of you.
5. Prepare Mother's Day Lunch Together
If your mom loves to cook, then it's one thing she would love doing with you. Who else would she like to be helping her at the kitchen than her own child? Even if you don't love cooking, making your mom feel that you can spend time with her on Mother's Day will definitely bring a smile to her face.
No one else knows your mom better than you. In addition to the ways mentioned above on how to make your mom happy on Mother's Day, you will always know and feel what is it that will make your mom smile on Mother's Day.
