Underneath all the layers of
unadulterated capitalism that you've come to expect around a big holiday like
Mother’s Day often lies a really simple want. I bet you if you ask most
mother’s what they would like this coming Sunday at least three of my five from
below would be included. This year, why not take a nod from the folks who know
best and skip the guess work? Print this, hang on your fridge and thank me
later.
Read on for the Top 5 things
Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day:
Uninterrupted Sleep – you have no idea
what a commodity this is until you no longer get it. No matter how many
mother’s I survey the answer is always the same. Whenever the kids get up in
the middle of night or the first thing in the morning, mom is the first person
they tiptoe over to nudge. An extra hour or two of not having to move might
just put the Olivia Beyonce Cookie back in her day.
A pass on making meals for anyone at all, ALL
DAY – Seriously, get up and get in that kitchen and make a meal for her and for
yourselves. Trust me, she love you for it.
A 'get-out-of-cleaning’ anything card – For
clarity, this doesn't mean nothing gets cleaned, it just means that Mom doesn't have to do it.
All whining and crying must be redirected to
the next senior family member for a full 24 hours- no backsies
Hand delivered homemade or easy items like
cards or flowers pull at our heart strings so whip out the construction paper,
glue, scissors and any other accouterment and get busy.
