- Sleeping in with no interruptions -- ZZZzzzzz.
- Breakfast in bed complete with smiling kids, flowers and a clean napkin would be nice.
- The day off – no cooking, no arguing kids, no stress, or cleaning. Or coupons to take care of chores so mom has time later on.
- A gift from the heart -- Handmade cards, finger imprints, pet rocks, etc.
- A poem or letter telling mom why she’s super.
Treat her like a "Queen Mom for the day." (Oh, this just came to me, jewelry is nice, too.) She’s the woman who has taught you practically everything you know about life. One day out of the year honor mom and show her how precious she really is. C’mon, go overboard. She’ll be happy you did.
