7 Tips to a Memorable Mother's Day

7 Steps to a Memorable Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is May 8th. And, you do realize all of the things that the Mom in your life has done for you and your family, right? Then you must know that a bouquet of flowers and card, though very sweet, are not all it takes to make Mother’s Day a true holiday.

To make Mother’s Day special for any Mom in your life, try some of these tips:

1.Watch the kids!! Think of giving a “Kid Free Night” Coupon or taking the kids to the park for a few hours.

2.Cook – No mother should ever have to cook on Mother’s Day, so plan ahead. Pick out something for everyone to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just one less thing for Mom to worry about on her special day.

3.Pick up after the kids. Come on, now, if Mom is supposed to feel pampered on this one day of the year, why should she have to pick anything up? Leaving the mess, though, will likely cause her stress, so help out by picking up.

4.Ask-Ahead of time, ask her what she wants to do. You may be surprised at her answer. Even if it’s something you hate, just think of all of the boxing matches and football games she has smiled through.

5.BE NICE! All relationships have their good days and their bad days. On Mother’s Day, no matter what, don’t argue with a Mom. Its only 24 hours, you can handle it.

6.Have fun with it. Blow up balloons, throw a barbeque (where no Moms are allowed to help cook or clean up), make banners, buy a cake, play music, hide her shoes and force her to wear fuzzy slippers all day with a paper crown made by the kids, just make sure that she knows that this is her day!

7.Buy her something that she will cherish. Don’t buy her something that she will have to use to cook or clean unless she has absolutely requested it, and then I still wouldn’t. All Moms love to look at their families, especially their children, so look into personalized or photo gifts-put some real thought into it.

Mother’s day should not be just another day with a few flowers thrown in. Moms spend their lives taking care of the people that they love, so one day of fun, pampering and rest should not be too much to expect. Trust me, if you follow these tips, the mom in your life won’t be struggling to remember next time she’s asked, “What did you get for Mother’s Day?”

  • The Lord of the Wrinkles -- Excellent Excerpts from a Silly Spoof

    Excerpts from "The Lord of the Wrinkles"

    from Part One: The Foolship of the Ring

    "So, Sourman, old buddy, old pal," Gandoff said. "How's it hanging?"

    The evil white wizard frowned. "Do not beat around the bush, Gandoff Gravybeard. Let us cut to the chase. I know why you have come."

    Gandoff whistled, feigning innocence as he inspected the gloomy living room of Sourman's tower, IcingLard. "This place could use a facelift," he said. "I can recommend a great feng shui consultant."

    "I have a better idea," Sourman said. "Join with us. Join the forces of evil that have allied themselves with Sarong. His is the lidless eye that never sleeps."

    "Hmmm, insomnia, yes. No wonder he's so cranky all the time." Gandoff backed way from Sourman, whistling.

    "Not so fast, Gandoff." Sourman pressed the panic button on his security system. All four chamber doors slammed shut and a pantry cupboard flew open, revealing a week's worth of bottled ...
