It’s May, which means Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Mother’s Day is the day we get to not only tell, but also show Moms just how special and appreciated they really are.

 

Mother’s Day is almost here! It can bring up so much emotion ~ good, bad, grief, celebration. You may still be blessed to have your mom still with you or missing her so badly because of death or a broken relationship. You may be longing for your own child or have buried your child. No matter how you see the day, let’s remember our sisters in prayer because everyone is facing a battle.

My family has been busy making memories as a family over the years and I’m so thankful. There was a time we were told we would never have children. My heart was broken, but we have been very blessed and I don’t take that for granted because life can change in an instant. Our sons are grown and busy creating their own lives but I’m so grateful we are still close and get to work together each day. Treasure the times, it goes so very quickly.

If you are looking for some ways to celebrate a special lady in your life, I have some ideas for you for things that you can make your mom or purchase for her. And please don’t forget the single moms and widows…. they are lonely and a little bit of acknowledgment and love goes a long way.

A word of advice: don’t get caught up in all the gifts that others get or the ways their family celebrates them. You only see the highlight reel on social media. Try to remember how blessed you are to have a family and how your family loves you everyday of the year. I have been there, I know and compared how much better some of my mom friends were celebrated than me and it is best not to let your day be ruined. 🙂

And keep reading to the end to see what I have special JUST FOR YOU!

Coupon Book:

Make a special booklet or individual coupons for things you can do for your Mom ~ take her out to eat, grocery shop for her, clean a room for her, help with her garden…do things she may want done but doesn’t feel like doing them or have the time to do. Moms never get too old for coupon books. :) Or is there a single mom in your area? A widow… widows are so forgotten in our society. They get so lonely… I have seen this in my own mom’s journey they last eight years since my Dad’s passing.

You can’t go wrong making someone feel loved!

Special Things List:

A special card with a handwritten note and maybe a list of why your Mom is special to you would mean the world to your mom or special lady in your life. It would be a true keepsake.

Gift of Health and Wellness:

Take a walk, join a gym, buy a piece of exercise equipment and something you can improve your health or work out together with mom. Dry brush, get enough sleep, drink enough water, take supplements… the top ones I recommend are Happy Juice…. it’s made a HUGE difference for our family the past few months. Healing your gut is so important.

Take time to tell your mom how much you love her. Treasure her and cherish the time together. Make memories while you can!
