You Forgot Mother’s Day?
By DesertMama | May 11, 2008
You forgot Mother’s Day? You’re not alone.
I’m sure there are many husbands and kids out there who forgot or at least procrastinated in planning this glorious day honoring every mother. This day is supposed to send mom into utter elation as the ones she loves pamper, dote and express their gratitude for everything she does all year long.
But you forgot. So, what do you do now? Her favorite restaurant is booked and you didn’t get her a gift or even a card. Well, don’t give up. Here are a few tips to help save the day for that dear Mama in you life.
1. Greet her with a big “Happy Mother’s Day” hug and kiss.
2. Gather the kids, some construction paper (fine, computer paper will do) and markers and make Mama a card.
3. Insist Mama stays in bed while you make her a cup of coffee and bring her the newspaper.
4. Make Mama breakfast in bed (pancakes, french toast, eggs, oatmeal) Come on you can do it!
5. Really? You can’t do it? Okay, pick up the phone and order breakfast to go! Yes, most restaurants really will pack your breakfast to go even if there is a line out the door.
6. Load up the family for a day at the zoo.
7. Pack a blanket and stop at your local sandwich shop before heading to that pretty park in town for a lunch picnic.
8. Give her coupons for a massage, warm bubble bath, clean kitchen, car wash- the only rule is they have to be used today.
9. No matter what you do today just tell her how much you love her and what a terrific, beautiful, lovely Mama she is.
