Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. Every year, people ask the same question: How do I make this year special for the mothers in my life? When you have a family, you might spend the day celebrating everything about your partner. Here’s how to make your favorite mother feel like the most special woman in the world this Mother’s Day.
Buy Flowers
Most women love flowers. While flowers shouldn’t be your only surprise on Mother’s Day, you can gift her a bouquet to brighten up the home and cause her to smile first thing in the morning. Make sure none of your kids spill the beans about the grand bouquet you’ll surprise her with.
Be sure to study flower language so you can impress your partner with flowers that are beautiful and mean something. Consider spelling out a message for her with the flowers. Carnations are a popular choice for Mother’s Day because they embody everything people think of when they think of mothers. Red roses can symbolize romantic love, which is perfect as a gift from you to your partner.
Prepare Breakfast in Bed
Breakfast in bed is a traditional gift for Mother’s Day. Make sure to wake up early and get your kids out of bed. Together, you can all work on a breakfast that she will love. Have your kids handle something easier, like toast, while you work on more complicated stuff like Eggs Benedict or another fancy breakfast recipe.
You should also consider your partner’s preferences. If she has a sweet tooth, make sure to treat her to fresh fruit and pancakes with powdered sugar. Whip up a batch of these delicious pancakes with ultra pure cream chargers and serve them with a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect Mother’s Day breakfast!
If she enjoys a more savory breakfast, give her an assortment of meats, bread, and eggs. Either way, she’s bound to love whatever breakfast you surprise her with because her family made it.
Get Her a Gift
Mother’s Day should entail some sort of gift given by you and your children. It doesn’t have to be something luxurious. Any gift is one that your partner will love, especially if it comes from you and your children. Encourage your kids to make something for her. A handmade gift will mean much more to her than anything you could buy in a store.
Still, if she expresses interest in something that can be bought in a store, you should consider surprising her with it. Whether it’s practical or just something she loves, your partner will be sure to enjoy the gift and consider you and your children thoughtful for getting it. Follow what your partner wants most so you can have a plan for her special Mother’s Day gift.
Take a Trip
If your partner itches to travel, consider taking her out of town to celebrate Mother’s Day. Search for a family-friendly location — the beach is an excellent opportunity to spend some time outside in the nice weather while bringing the whole family with you. Wherever you choose to go on your day or weekend trip, make plans ahead of time for accommodations, meals, and more. Your partner will appreciate it if she can relax during the trip and not worry about planning anything.
Run a Relaxing Bath
One way to help your partner relax and unwind from the responsibilities of life is to draw her a warm bath. Make sure the water isn’t too hot or too cold. The best temperature is somewhere around 100° Fahrenheit, which is also when you start to reap some of the health benefits of bathing.
Make sure that your partner enjoys her bath by setting her up with some entertainment if she wants it. Put a movie on a tablet for her, or give her a book to read in the bath. Buy her a bath tray so she can snack and read effectively without worrying about getting things wet. During this time, let no one disrupt her.
Write a Thoughtful Letter
Your words matter more than you think they do. Especially if your partner’s love language is Words of Affirmation, having handwritten letters from you detailing your love and how much she means to you could matter so much. Encourage your children also to write her a letter. Even if their words aren’t very guided, your partner will appreciate the effort and keep those letters for a long time.
Writing letters is an art that people have forgotten about. Love notes aren’t anything to be embarrassed about. Your partner could be self-conscious about her abilities as a mother, and now is the perfect time for you to tell her what a fantastic job she’s doing. Write her a letter to show her how much you really care.
Do Everything She Wants to Do
The day doesn’t end once you’ve given your partner her cards and gifts. You should make the whole day about her, meaning that she can choose what you watch on television and the food you eat. Consider getting takeout of her choice or going out to dinner at her favorite restaurant. She deserves the best, after all.
If she wants to be alone with you, see if you can get a trusted family member or friend to watch your children for the day. However, if she wants to do something fun with her friends, then let her take care of the kids without any complaint. Make sure she’s doing what makes her happy.
Make This a Year to Remember
While Mother’s Day is an excellent opportunity to celebrate, not everyone makes the whole day about mothers. If your partner is the mother of your children, she deserves to be acknowledged all day. Now that you have the recipe for a perfect Mother’s Day, you can celebrate her and the hard work she does every day.
