MOTHERS DAY

Everybody should celebrate mothers day! Make you childrens mother feel special and of course your own mother!
Women and men I think have different views/opinions on how to celebrate mothers day. As women, we recognize and appreciate our mother, our grandmother, aunts, sisters, cousins, if you are a mom we show love! Most men i've talked with about how they celebrate mothers day, is they specifically focus on their mother alone. There's nothing wrong with that of course, It's just one of those things where men and women differ (and they usually don't understand why we celebrate mothers other than our own haha). 

I love this quote I retrieved from this website. It says "Contrary to popular belief, Mothers Day was not conceived and fine-tuned in the boardroom of Hallmark" hahaha!

Just a briefing on this history of Mothers Day:

The daughter of Anna Jarvis, also named Anna, started celebrating mothers day after her mother had passed away. Mothers day used to be celebrated by going to church. Anna would hand out her mothers favorite flower, the carnation. Mothers day was officially made a holiday in 1914. From there on out it turned into a big money making ordeal.

I thought this was an interesting statistic: Mothers day is apparently the biggest day for long distance phone calls.

The men in my family don't really think outside the box, as far as gifts or being original goes. My dad buys his mother and my mothers mother flowers, and we always take my mom out to eat for Mothers Day.

Here are some other ideas of how to celebrate Mothers Day: There's the classic breakfast in bed, flowers, chocolate, jewelry ;), there's always arts and crafts for the kids. My sister's favorite hobby is to sew and I found this cute little Aligator Sewing Kit for kids to make for a Mothers Day gift, I'm going to help my daughter make that for her. I'll share the link: http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/alligator-sewing-kit-660573/

There are tons of other things you can do for a mother, like yard work! Putting together a gift basket filled with her favorite wine and books, or send her to the spa (ahem! send me to the spa!), taking her to get her nails done.

If this was a perfect world, I'd want my husband (which I dont have, im single!!)  to wake me up with the room filled with flowers (although flowers are nice, they die, and what would you do with a room full of flowers anyway??) and breakfast in bed, followed by dumping me off at the spa for most of the day, and a trip to the mall of course, then a romantic night on the town. :) Since this is just in my perfect world cenario, let's throw in a lemo and chouffer for the day, a bag holder for the mall, and of course jewlry. Okay this is starting to sound too much like my perfect birthday cenario. HAHAHA Maybe this is why im single?? My daddy spoiled me ..

Don't forget Mother's Day is THIS SUNDAY!! Do something special for yo mamma! Remember, FATHERS DAY is around the corner ;)
