Here are some very practical, very simple ideas that are guaranteed to make your mom or wife smile on Mother’s day!
1. Make or buy Mom dinner or lunch.
Give mom a break from the kitchen!

2. Pamper her!
A massage, facial, or manicure. Anything to make her feel pretty and relaxed!
- Mom will love a SPA Day; a runner up would be a Spa Kit. I love bath bombs or a good bath scrub!
–
3. Hire someone to clean for her!
This is such a treat for mom to get a break from cleaning. With four busy boys, the messes never end. I LOVE having someone clean for me every once in a while!
–
4. Give Mom some time alone!
When my kids were little, my husband gave me time to myself on Mother’s Day – to nap, read, slowly sip my coffee (while it’s still hot) and just relax. With four little boys, that is such a precious GIFT! Now that my kids are older and going in every direction, I love it when we can have some “time with everyone together!”

–
5. Homemade gifts or cards.
Sweet hand-made cards from my boys are some of my most treasured possessions!

Other options that mom will love:

Version 1.0.0
A plant or fresh flowers

A great book – I LOVED this one
