Ways to Impress Mom On Mother’s Day

Mother's Day is a time to celebrate the amazing women who raised us. Sure, flowers and a card are nice gestures, but this year, why not go above and beyond to truly impress Mom? Here are some ideas that show you put extra thought and effort into making her day special ...

1. Sign your Mother's Day card with more than just your name. Take some time to reflect on a specific memory you cherish or a quality you admire in her. Ask a friend or significant other if you are "not good with words" and need help crafting a personal message.
2. Stand up straight!
3. Repair, or pay for a repair, on the household problem she complains about most often.
4. Let her control the TV remote and watch what she chooses without complaint.
5. Ask her if she's hungry and make her a sandwich.
6. Take out the trash!
7. Pour the milk or soda into a glass and put the bottle back in the fridge where it goes.
8. Get a haircut!
9. Turn off the lights when you leave a room! Bonus if you can do it for the entire day!
10. Tell her about a piece of advice she gave you that you have applied to your life!
11. Wash the dishes AND put them away.
12. When she asks how things are going, give more than a one-word answer.
13. Remember that she's not just Mom, she had a life before you were born. Ask her about it.
