Happy Mother’s Day, MOM!

  “M-O-T-H-E-R”

 

‘M’        is for the million things she gave me,

‘O’        means only that she’s growing old,

‘T’         is for the tears she shed to save me,

‘H’        is for her heart of purest gold,

‘E’         is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

‘R’         means right, and right she’ll always be,

 

Put them all together, they spell

“MOTHER,”

A word that means the world to me.

 

Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

Here’s how to begin a Mother’s Day Celebration

 

One of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mom the day off. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family does the work.

 

Many families begin Mother’s Day with breakfast in bed. Usually Dad and the kids will let mom sleep late as they go into the kitchen and prepare her favorite meal. But make sure to clean after yourselves or else mom will be mad.

 

After the food is cooked, arrange everything nicely on a tray. Don’t forget the vase with a fresh pretty flower. Carefully carry the tray up to her bedroom.  To add that special Mother’s Day touch, cards and small presents from the children can be placed on the tray. My personal preference, I always place the present and the card early morning on her nightstand so when mom wakes up, she is in for a surprise!

 

And of course, DON’T forget the hug and the kiss!!
