Family Matters: 3 Easy Ways to Celebrate Mom This Sunday
Friday, May 11, 2012
It’s that weekend, and if you’re a mom reading this, pass it along to those who can make your Sunday the best ever.
Buy with Heart
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Show mom you care, and make a big difference in your community. When you Buy With Heart from a social enterprise for mother’s day, you get unique gifts she’ll love, and give back to a cause she cares about. Check out these gift suggestions!
Make something by hand
I am big fan of handmade gifts. We have a tradition in our family to always give a handmade gift for special occasions, some more elaborate than others. Over the years my boys have made me jewelry and books and more recently written me stories and created cartoon characters in my honor. DIY gifts can be as simple as a photo in a frame, drawing or a few words on a card. If you want to get a bit more crafty, try making this adorable Handprint a totebag or decorate a flower pot.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
Give mom time
One thing moms are short on is “time.” Time to do read, exercise, finish a cup of coffee (while it is still hot) and time to do nothing. I know I am looking forward to some quality family time this weekend without cooking or laundry but I also look forward to my family allowing a little time to myself. Give a mom in your life an hour or more to herself this weekend.
