There already exist endless lists of gifts for the beautiful mamas of the world, who sacrifice every single day to take care of all of us, no matter what our age. So this year I’ve decided to just keep that list simple and remind “children of all ages”, that likely the greatest thing you can offer your mother is giving her a break and promote self-care. And, of course, expressing your love and appreciation for her.
Here’s an idea — encourage that she can stay in bed a little longer than usual. Or if staying in bed is not what she wants to do, give her a smoothie maker so she can whip up her favorite yummy protein smoothie to keep her going through her day. You can also encourage her as part of the Mother’s Day plans to just lounge around in some comfy PJs the rest of the day and suggest she indulge in some of those little things that give her a lift she normally doesn’t have time to do, even if it’s just applying a 10-minute hydrating mask or watching her favorite TV show in the middle of the day. You can give her all this as a genuine gift of love. I think I can speak for mamas everywhere, this is like a dream come true–and it requires little effort. Unless your a mama of little ones and like me none of this will apply! LOL. But in all seriousness, a little self-care can go a long way…

Great ideas, Emma! It’s true…Moms surely deserve all the pampering we can give them but they are usually at the bottom of their own priority list when it comes to doing special things for themselves!
A little off-topic but I’ve been meaning to mention this to you for quite a while now. Tell B that whatever he’s doing to take care of his skin, he should definitely keep doing it…he looks wonderful! He’s found the secret to looking even better the older he gets!
Hope you and the family are enjoying the Spring. Glad the fundraiser for Room-to-Grow was such a success! Relax and have fun over the Mothers’ Day weekend!
