Moms Are Women First
I'll bet that most moms forget that!
Being a mom is but one of the many daily roles a mother performs
and as this dominates her life, it may be difficult even for her
to remember all the woman she is. While she is undoubtedly proud
of her contributions to her family, she probably doesn't have
the time and energy to pamper her inner and outer woman.
Mom looks in the mirror, sighs, and wishes she had just ten more
minutes to style her hair or apply makeup. She looks at her
clothes and wishes for the time to shop for something pretty to
add to her wardrobe. Or an hour once a week to take a yoga or
exercise class to soothe her spirit.
She puts this thought aside for the 1,001st time, and moves on
to do the laundry, wash the dishes, go grocery shopping, prepare
meals, pick up the kids at school, drive them to a sports
practice or music lesson, or juggles a job outside as well as
her mom's job.
Mom's the heart and soul of a family, whether she's married or a
single mom. But she's a woman first, so this Mothers Day, why
not give her a unique gift to show you honor all that she is,
whether you are her children or husband? Just imagine how her
eyes will light up and how delighted she'll be when she knows
her family realizes and cares about a side of her that she has
neglected to take care of you.
Husbands can give her a special romantic gift
* Send her a love letter or poem that shows her how you
appreciate her.
* Give her sexy lingerie and let her know how attractive she is
to you as a woman
* Treat her to a day at a spa then take her out to a romantic
dinner separate from your family's Mothers Day celebration
* Give her a "total makeover" and then have a photographer take
glamorous photos of her. Buy a frame to prominently display the
best photo
* Give her a romantic gift in front of the family so they know
how much you love her as a woman. Do a special presentation,
what about serenading her with a karaoke tune and handing her
your own bouquet of flowers?
Let her know that you still care about her and your relationship
apart from the kids. Hey, this is not only for your wife, you'll
receive very sweet dividends from this!
Children can give her "pamper yourself" gifts
* Chip in to buy a gift certificate to a spa, make a homemade
banner, "We love our beautiful mom!" and hang on the wall over
the dinner table
* Pay for a course that she's been yearning to take
* What about a gift certificate to her favorite clothing store?
With strict orders that she has to use it to buy something only
for herself
* She will especially love this one: make up personal chore
coupons that she can use to ask for extra chores to be done so
she has the time to do something she enjoys or just "quiet" time
* If your family has a great sense of humor, wrap your Mothers
Day gift in a disposable diaper and tell her "You pampered us,
now we're pampering you!"
Show Mom on Mothers Day that you appreciate and love the total
woman she is and she will be forever grateful.
