Ah, it’s time for my favorite holiday: Mother’s Day! I
always feel relaxed and pampered on this one day of the year and I definitely
milk it and enjoy it. Here are some ideas for Mother’s Day traditions you might
like to see in your house this year — or any year!
Note: Please don’t feel like your loved ones should hit all
six or you’ll go on a laundry strike. Just print these ideas out, leave them lying
around and surely they’ll catch the hint!
1. Flower
Mom with love. Flowers are a favorite – and very easy – way to make a mom feel
special. My very favorite flower is Lily of the Valley because it reminds me of
my own mother. One year my husband planted some in front of our house, and they
bloom every year as a reminder of what he did for me on Mother’s Day. Consider
hitting the local florist for a bigger bouquet in a colorful vase. A potted
flowering plant or hanging basket of petunias would be low-maintenance and
long-lasting.
