Let her know that you still care about her and your relationship apart from kids. Hey, this is not only for your wife, you’ll receive very sweet dividends from this!

Children can give her “pamper yourself” gifts • Chip in to buy a gift certificate to a spa, make a homemade banner, “We love our beautiful mom!” and hang on wall over dinner table • Pay for a course that she’s been yearning to take • What about a gift certificate to her favorite clothing store? With strict orders that she has to use it to buy something only for herself • She will especially love this one: make up personal chore coupons that she can use to ask for extra chores to be done so she has time to do something she enjoys or just “quiet” time. • If your family has a great sense of humor, wrap your Mothers Day gift in a disposable diaper and tell her “You pampered us, now we’re pampering you!”

Show Mom on Mothers Day that you appreciate and love total woman she is and she will be forever grateful.
