M&M's - Mother's Day


10 Special Ways to Honor Your Mother on Mother's Day!
The dilemna of how to honor mom starts weeks before the big day. We're slammed with ads & other reminders showing us how to show mum how much we love & value her by buying her jewelry, flowers, candy or a nice dinner in a favorite restaurant. Mother's don't need or want 'things' to feel appreciated. What they want is what they have given to us all along: unconditional love

Here are some ways to show the important women in your life what they mean to you not just once a year but everyday.

1. Say 'I love you' often
2. Make a surprise visit
3. Make her laugh
4. Cook her favorite food
5. Watch a movie together
6. Take a long walk
7. Call her, for no special reason
8. Send her a handwritten note
9. Frame & give a photo of you and mom
10. Thank her for guiding you & helping you become who you are
