For Mother’s Day the simple things are always the best.
We’ve put together a few ideas on how to spoil your mum or wife this Mother’s Day for very little or no cost, but a lot of child love!
1. Let Mum sleep in – even giving Mum a sleep in until 7am would be greatly appreciated, if she is used to being up between 5am-6am every day.
2. While Mum is sleeping in get her breakfast in bed – a simple coffee (get Dad to help) and toast, or eggs on toast (or work out Mums favourite breaky to cook her)
3. Pack a picnic and head to the beach or park for breakfast, morning tea or lunch – you could pack some eggs and bacon for a BBQ at the park, buy fish and chips or get dad to help you make some cupcakes which will be enjoyed by Mum and the kids!
4. Alternatively you could take Mum out for breakfast or lunch – always go somewhere to suit the ages of the kids to lower the stress for all! We always head to places on the beach like Mermaids Cafe at Burleigh Heads. Otherwise a lot of Taverns have great play areas for the kids, like The Gap Tavern or Ferny Hills Tavern or a lot of nurseries have cafes that have good areas the kids can safely play too
5. Make Mum a homemade Mother’s Day Card – a simple drawing and message (depending on the age of the child) becomes a treasure to keep for years!
6. Pick Mum some flowers from your garden – a beautiful thought that does not need to be bought at the shops!
7. Cook Mum Dinner – she will definitely enjoy a night off!
8. Finally don’t let Mum do any washing, cleaning or even make the beds on Mother’s day - the kids can do these things for the day (or just leave it until the day after!)
Happy Mother’s Day

As a unique gift, I wrote a song and sent it to my mom for Mother’s Day…I’m happy to say she was overcome with emotion. Though I only intended to share the song with her, she has now encouraged me to share it with everyone, through iTunes.
Please consider it for a gift for anyone who cherishes a mom, knows a mom or is a mom, this Mother’s Day, May 9th! Only 99 cents will bring a tear to her eye!
