10 Simple Ways to Treat Your Mom on Mother's Day!

I personally define "mother" as a person who gives inspiration, a laborer and necessity to her children. I remember the card I did for my mom back in elementary. It's funny to know that I did it because our teacher was instructing us to make one for our mom. On the next day, an assignment was given to us - to make a poem presentation for mother's day in our class. That night I realized how difficult it is to describe how my mother brought me into this world. And therefore, mothers should be treated well!

I have the list of ways to treat your mom during this Mother's Day celebration. Try it for yourself.

1. A simple phone call. Yes, just simple as one or two minute phone call to your mom would means a lot to her. We all know, we Filipinos are fond of texting and it has become a part of our daily routine to txt our friends, our love ones and even our offices accept texting as a means of communication. A phone call to mom or any mother whom you know is most likely a big value to them. So, try calling your mom if you are living away from her. Express how you feel and tell her how important she is in your life.

2. Chat Online. Another simple way to get in touch to your mom if you are in a distant situation is by chatting her online. This one is most likely applicable if your mom is a "techie". Even my mom isn't good in computer thing still I did get one line of message from her last night through chat. She was very amused in typing the keyboard as my sister told me.

3. Food Trip. I agree, almost all mothers know how to cook, at least, a special fried eggs in the morning or a sandwich with mayonnaise in it. Even if your mom is the best cook in your hometown, the best menu picker, the best taster and obnoxious when it comes to food still she deserves to be treated in a fine restaurant where she has never went before. This could be a restaurant where they prepare seafoods or meat depending on what your mother likes to eat. You should know her food preferences well.

Another good suggestion is to prepare foods in the table by yourself. Now, this would mean a lot to her. It's payback time, I'd say. The more foods you prepare for her, the better. You must have a good taste when it come to this one. If you are not a good cook like her, better order good foods and eat with her. That also counts.

4. Treat her in the beach resort. Everyone must relaxed from time to time and so your mom too! Come to think of it, for all her life she's just all around the house fixing everything in your room, washing your clothes, preparing foods, doing the household chores and even thinking of ways in order to get some extra cash to help your dad in supplying the family's needs.

Isn't it great if you can take her to a beach resort so she can loosen up? You may bring all the family as you want to make it more merrier. Don't forget to bring cameras with you and try to get more candid shot every time she swoops into the water.

5. Spa and Massage Treatment. Another way to treat your mother is by taking her into the best massage therapy or spa. Medical research shows that the benefits of massage include pain relief, reduced trait anxiety and depression, and temporarily reduced blood pressure, heart rate, and state anxiety. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet which will make her important body parts reinvigorated. While spa is associated with water treatment, most likely, it is fall under massage treatment. It can be Manicure/Pedicure/Foot Spa/Hair and Skin Care. If you think your mom should take one of these treatment, then it's good for you too as it only take a few Php/($) from your pocket.

6. Fashion & Clothing Makeover. If you've been seeing that old silk pajamas to your mom every morning, her old ragged slippers, her 3 times a week wash-and-wear uniform, her 1990's lipstick and makeups, her old Zoen undergarments and Avon bras, and her perfume remembrance from your father then this time, I may suggest you must buy her new ones and make sure you knew her sizes and favorite colors. Something different is always impressive even if it is a small thing. If you have much money try buying her new jeans and blouses, underwear and bra, lipstick and make-ups of top quality brand. Maybe one Havaianas flipflops can be impressive.

7. Picnic at the Park & Rides. This one works well if you have siblings or small children staying at your parents. Family bonding is very important and in fact your mother will truly appreciate the picnic at the park or treating her with the family members for different rides at a theme park. You have a lot of time to talk about while having a walk or a picnic at the eco park. On the other hand, she will be glad to know you too care for the family and you bring happiness to your little siblings.

8. Movie and Grocery Shopping. Treating your mom into a movie theater and let her shop in the grocery stores and you take care of the bills during this mother's day are very common things but it is a very good combination. Most mothers have a hard time to budget the grocery needs. Help her ease out that problem for once and watch a good movie after shopping at the grocery.

9. Flowers and Card. Show your appreciation and love to your mother by giving her a bunch of flowers with a note. Let her know how special she is to you and that you have nothing to ask anyone to be your mom but her. You may write on the card the things you like about your mom and the times you felt everyone was turning away from you but still, she's there at your back. Tell her everything you were working for and where you are right now is because of her.

10. Give Her A Kiss and A Hug. The most special for all of the aboves choices is maybe as simple as giving a hug and a kiss and greeting your mom a happy mother's day. This doesn't require you to spend a lot of money and doesn't require you to prepare a lot of time either. This will only requires your sincerity and love. I would definitely say, this is the most wonderful gift you can ever give to your mom.
