You don't need a specific date to remind your mother of how much you love her. You'll be thankful for the reminder, considering all that she's done for your life. You don't have a better way to express your gratitude to the woman who has made you into the person you are today than this opportunity.
This year, Mother’s Day lands on Sunday, May 8! Mother’s Day celebrates motherhood and is a day to make an extra-special effort to recognize and appreciate mothers’ roles in our lives. Often this day is extended to generations of mothers—grandmothers, great-grandmothers, stepmothers—as well as to mother figures. While mothers should be honored year-round, Mother’s Day is a chance to celebrate moms. There’s a strong tradition of gifting and having a nice meal when it comes to Mother’s Day, so it’s a chance to be both appreciative and celebratory. This year we can go out together without a mask if we chose. What a difference a year has made.
If you are at a loss of what to do this year, here are 10 creative ways to reach out to mom to show her a little extra comfort, love, and recognition.
1. Offer yard and garden services.
2. Decorate your mom’s door or give flowers!
3. Cook for Mom or set up a brunch date.
4. Give your mom a long phone call or put on a virtual talent show!
5. Watch a movie or show together, side by side.
6. Get creative: Make Mom a video, a music playlist, or a piece of art!
7. Get outside! Go for a stroll in the park or how about packing mom a picnic?
8. Make a homemade gift!
9. Take Mom to a museum or garden!
10. Make your own card.
After all, moms are always there for us!
What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique? If you are looking for a gift for Mom, we have lots of little special somethings you could give her. We have beautiful cards, candles, scarves, notepads, hand creams, bath bombs, work-out pieces, tops, bottoms, dresses, sandals, need I go on?
This week CIELO has interesting cardigans. Eyelet boleros, a cropped bolero and long rayon cardigans. BLU PEPPER has a frilly girly dress in lovely blue hues. REBORN J has a couple of cute dresses that can be casual or dressed up. If Mom is in need of a tote, we have some really cute roomy ones by SHIRALEAH that will hold groceries or goodies or gym clothes, whatever she desires. There’s also a kitty tank that would be a “purrrfect” gift for the cat lover Mom in your family. I have also photographed some special gifties you may want to purchase for Mom. Like I said, we have a little bit of everything depending on the kind of gift you would like to give!
Our shipment did not come in before I had to leave for Mexico so if I were you, I would stop by and see all the surprise items that aren’t on the blog. Two boxes didn’t make it in time, so I am sure there is lots of great fashion to be had. Stop in and pick out some gifts and we will wrap them up special for your mom. Better yet, if you are a mom there is no harm buying yourself a gift. That’s the ultimate love & self-care! It feels good to be recognized on Mother’s Day, but also to give ourselves a high five for who we are as a mom to our children. It’s a hard job, but the love of a Mother is like no other! We want you to know we honor all of you Mom’s, however you fit that role. We are honored to know you and love your visits to Meadow. May your day be extra special, just like you! xoxoxoxo
