In 2021, Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 9. A day to honor mothers has existed for as long as, well, there have been mothers. How can we give extra recognition to moms, especially if we’re apart? 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. I say we give moms everywhere the whole month! They have proven to be resilient and loving for their family in the past year. Clap. Clap. Clap. Hug. Hug. Hug. No words.
10 WAYS TO CELEBRATE MOM
The past year’s been a challenge. Many of us are rethinking how to give extra recognition to moms. Some of us are apart from our moms when we’d normally be together. How can we celebrate differently? Most moms simply wish to connect with their children and spend time with family in any way possible—if not in person, then with a phone call or video chat! If your mom is at home, give her a day off from any family chores, especially during this difficult time. Someone else can take full responsibility for making or serving the food, clearing and cleaning the dishes, and doing the laundry. Volunteer!
This probably covers the big stuff, but here are 10 creative ways to reach out to mom to show her a little extra comfort, love, and recognition. After all, moms are always there for us!
1. Offer yard and garden services.
2. Decorate your mom’s door or give flowers!
3. Cook for Mom or set up a virtual 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. Travel virtually to a museum or garden together!
10. Make your own card and stop by Meadow Boutique for a special gift!
Here’s our new arrivals for this week, that your mom will cherish, especially coming from you. We have some amazing pieces, I for one am very excited, since I am a mom. There is something for every Mom at Meadow Boutique.
ANGIE - Oh my, these dusters, kimonos, dresses and shorts are riddled with colors and patterns that will make you feel special all over! I mean your mom - one for her, one for you! The Angie Brand takes us back in time and reminds us of the simple things in life when it was all about love. I grew up in the 60’s & 70’s and these types of garments are all too familiar. I confess I bought myself a couple of dusters to style with my summer pieces. So cute and the designs are lovely, makes me feel young again.
DAVI & DANI sports some super stylish dresses and jumpsuits. Any of these can be dressed up for date night or dressed down with some tennies. Mom is sure to like the the simple lines and patterns. If she throws on a little cardigan, she can go from day to evening.
DREAMERS Sweaters are in a full bloom of colors. Stop by and see the pastels you could add to mom’s wardrobe. These sweaters are light weight and have been collected in many colors by our customers. They are soft and wearable all year round!
GILLI is back this week with more dresses and jumpsuits as well. They never disappoint with their fashion forward designs. I say buy one for you and your mom and go out and enjoy the day together! Receiving a gift of one of these jumpsuits will make her feel like Queen for a Day!
LETO ACCESSORIES have 2 beautiful kimonos. One has lace and the other has a grey and orange design. They are both quite flattering. My advice is to take it off the hanger and try it on! You really can’t tell what kimonos will look like unless you put them on your body and see how they look on you.
JEN & CO has some nifty little handbags with 2 straps and two slip pockets, 6 slot card holder, and a middle zip pocket to put credit cards & money, a phone and a little lipstick. They are the perfect size for a walk around town with all you need for a perfect day! You will find these bags simple and colorful - and who doesn’t want to add a pop of color to an outfit?
CC TRUCKER Baseball Hats are back again with florals and distressed solids. Great for all seasons and provides shade while running quick errands, marathons, enjoying outdoor activities - everything our moms love to do!
INDIGO TANGERINE & DEV D+CO have designed some tea towels with all the right words we want to say to our Moms! They are sure cause a giggle or a good laugh and for sure a hug! Messages like these can make your Moms’ day in a hurry! They will be a constant reminder that you remembered her on Mother’s Day when she uses them in the kitchen.
We know we have plenty of new arrivals this week to get you through Mother’s Day, so stop in and see us and let us help you find that special gift! We would love top help you in any way we can!
Parting thoughts: There are moms here at Meadow Boutique that understand the meaning of being “Mom” and we have to say it has taught us so much. Who knew that being a mom would become one of our greatest teachers! You all know what I mean, so just know that all of us at Meadow Boutique honor you. We are truly lucky to know you. Thank you to all the moms out there for spreading love and joy throughout the world and being good role models to the children around you. We are touched by your very being. We hope that you are all celebrated for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day from our home to yours! xoxoxoxo
