Relax… It’s Mother’s Day
Being a mother is hard work. You wear many hats most days and hardly have the time to take care of the person wearing the same.
Furthermore, you get to do many superhero moves as you transition from being CEO of the household, personal chef to head cheerleader and, “kapow!” not to mention housekeeper, taxi driver and stylist. But, yippee! Today you get a chance to let down your hair and finally get the break you deserve! So, if you are still unsure of what to do today, here are some simple suggestions…
Go for a walk at the park or an unplanned picnic, with or without the children…
When you get home, you can cozy up in bed or on the sofa with a cup of tea or hot chocolate or just one of your most special treat like a chocolate bar with fruit and nut.
Send the children out for a movie with Dad and relish the peace of an empty house.
Take a nap, soak in a bubble bath or enjoy a grownup dessert like a Key Lime Cheesecake… you get the idea.
Have a lazy morning. Take your time to roll out of bed, and lounge around in your pajamas for a while.
Let your family take care of breakfast. Hey, why not request breakfast in bed?
Go to the spa for a day! Get a manicure and a pedicure or have your hair done. Just get pampered. By the way, make sure to get a solo massage also.
Spend the afternoon watching your favourite kind of movies
be it drama or comedy or any other movie such as Me Before You or Forever My Girl. Don’t forget the snacks.
Mothers, enjoy the day of rest and relaxation, after all you deserve it! And if it is either during or at the end we hope you get the chance to take a deep breath in, exhale… and relax.
