Sunday, May 8th Make Mom Feel Special! "Located in Historic Uptown Shelby" Finest in Flowers Each and every day a new woman becomes a mother for the first time or all over again. Being a mother changes a person's life in dramatic ways. Mother's Day is a great time of year to honor moth- ers and attempt to give back just a portion of the tireless love and devotion moms offer their children. Some children provide large ges- tures, while others feel it's the little things that can help a mom to feel appreciated. For those needing a little inspiration on treating their mothers in special ways, consider these ideas. • Make mom a break- fast in bed with her favorite morning treats. • Enjoy a movie at home with mom. Let her pick the flick and share her favorite film with you. • Agree to not bicker for the entire day, especially if you are prone to getting into arguments with siblings. • Put together a collage of photos from moments you have shared with mom or your family. • Cook a meal together and learn about everyone's fa- vorite recipes or the family history. • Give her a locket with your photo inside and have a duplicate you can wear contain- ing her photo. • Customize a coffee mug, tote bag or a blanket with a meaningful sentiment or photo. • Treat mom to a day off from her chores. Tackle all of the jobs she normally does for the family. • Bake a delicious des- sert that mom will absolutely devour. • Pamper mom with a gift card for her favorite nail salon or massage therapy location. • Prepare a jar of mom's favorite candies wrapped in pieces of paper that have loving sentiments written on them. • Compile a playlist of songs and artists mom pre- fers and download them to her phone. • Begin a charm brace- let tradition by purchasing a charm bracelet and a new charm each year that repre- sents a meaningful memory you both shared. • Write a new email each day with an inspirational quote or special words of love for mom. • Tackle a task that she may not want to do herself, such as washing the exterior of her car and vacuuming the interior. Mother's Day gift ideas should come from the heart and can show mothers near and far how much they are appreciated and loved. While time-outs may be torturous for young children eager to get up and go, alone time may sound like paradise to busy mothers. It can be helpful for par- ents to schedule daily time- outs, though breaks a few times per week can do the trick as well. Timeouts can benefit moms who need a break dur- ing or after a long day. Such breaks can be restful and re- energizing. Any woman can benefit from a time-out, but working mothers juggling careers and home life may be especially in need of scheduled breaks. Women who want to in- corporate more breaks into their daily routines should know that it's possible to do so, even on the most hectic days. • You don't need much time. A break doesn't need to be extensive to be ef- fective. Schedule around 30 minutes for the timeout. That's just enough time to watch a sitcom, read a chapter in a book or enjoy a nice, steamy bath. • Choose a kid-free time of day. If possible, select a timeout period when the kids are away from home or you can be guaranteed some alone time. If this is not possible, make an arrangement with your spouse to look after the kids while you get some alone time. • Find an enjoyable activity. Select an activity for the timeout that you may not have the opportunity to enjoy when other people or tasks require your attention. Listening to music, taking an exercise class, writing in a journal, engaging in artwork or other crafts, or reading a book make for great timeout activities. A timeout is not the time to catch up on chores. • Treat yourself on occa- sion. Build an extra treat into the time-out, such as a bite of a favorite dessert or purchas- ing a clothing accessory or a luxurious body butter. This can make the timeout even more enjoyable. Timeouts can be utilized by women who feel they need opportunities to unwind and put themselves first for a short time. Make Mother's Day special More ideas to: Moms need timeouts, too Mother's Day is a great c h a n c e t o h o n o r t h e special moth- ers and women in our lives.
