15 Ways to Show Your Mom You Love Her
1. Give Her a Hug and Straight Out Say, "I love you."
You know, sometimes the simplest gestures are the most meaningful.
2. Make Her a Card/ Write Her a Letter
Here's the thing, though...you actually have to hand-make/write it. No Hallmark for you!
3. Make Her Food
Because who doesn't love food?! Breakfast-in-bed, dessert, grilled cheese- it doesn't really matter!Just the fact that you put in the effort to do it is what counts!
4. CLEAN
Surprise her! Without being asked and without making a big deal out of it, just stop what you are doing and clean for her. Maybe the dishes need to be washed, or the carpet needs to be vacuumed- whatever it is... do it!
5. Buy Her Flowers
What Mom doesn't love flowers? Am I right?
6. Put Down Your Phone
I've found that one of the things mothers hate most is when their kids are too distracted to even pay attention due to the fact that they can't pry their electronic device away from their eyes. You might want to think about cutting down on screen-time this Mother's Day and focus all your attention on the star-of-the-day.
7. Spend Quality Time Together
Clear your schedule nd plan on spending the day with you Mom. Whether it be sitting on the couch watching reruns of Wife Swap or heading out to Starbucks and buying her a latte, make sure you plan on spending the day together.
8. Make Her a Video
Memories- Moms love them. Sit down at your computer and make your Mom a slideshow of pictures and videos of you and your family over the years (and don't forget the touching music!) . Oh, and make sure to give her a nice box of tissues to go with your awesome video... there will be tears.
9. An At-Home Spa Day
Your mom deserves a break! Whip up some banana masks, sugar scrubs, and take out that old neck massager! Let your mom rest and do all the work- massaging, nail-painting, etc. Trust me. She'll love it!
10.Make Her a Basket
One of my FAVORITE things to do for people as gifts, is make baskets. You can fill them with whatever you want! The following are thing you might want to fill your basket with: lotions, nail polish, lip balm, makeup, chocolate, her favorite hot drink mix, her favorite magazine, candy, face masks, body scrubs, sleeping mask, a journal, a framed picture of the two of you, hand-made jewelry, cute little trinkets or plush toys, planners, pocket hand-sanitizers, book marks, a card, cd's, dvd's, etc.
11. Give Her Some Alone Time
Yes, I know I just said to spend time with your mom, but it wouldn't hurt to give her some alone time too. I mean, chances are that she spends almost every waking moment either taking of you and your family's needs, or working. I think that she deserves a little me-time. SO send her out of the house, or take you and everybody else in it out. Either way, make sure you're mom is alone and happy.
12. Have a Tea Party
Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but hear me out. Sometimes, it feels good to just sit down and talk with your mom. So, turn on the kettle, grab a couple mugs, and make some small snacks. You can sit in the kitchen, on the porch, in the living room- wherever you want! This is just an idea for some quality time with you mom. If you have younger sisters, this would be a really cute idea too. You could really go all out with the cute dresses and tea cups and small tea cakes. Think about it! It would be a lot of fun for you, you mom, and your siblings!
13. Make Her a CD
On most computers, there is a feature in which you can burn cd's. Make a cd just for your mom! Create a playlist of her favorite songs, special songs the two of you might have, songs from when she was younger, and any other songs you'd like! There are 3 options for getting the songs: rip the songs from YouTube, get cds from a friend or the library and upload them to your computer, or just buy the songs off of iTunes.
14. Dedicate a Social Media Post to Her
She might not see it, but at least you re showing the world how much you love your mom.
15. Take Her Out For a Meal
This might be tough if you are young and don't exactly have large income, but it is definitely something to consider doing for your mom with the rest of your family.
