We are almost a full week into the month of May and since we are already celebrated this month for mothers day why not use this month to also set some personal mom goals for ourselves. This is a great time to check in with ourselves and see if there are any things we have been wanting to accomplish or check to see if there are things we can do to help with our overall mental health and day to day. Here is a list of things you can add to your mommy goals this May!

  • Read one book that is your favorite genre just for fun
  • Try a new hobby or pick back up on an old one that you haven’t been finding the time for
  • Start journaling and try to journal 5-10 minutes a day to unwind
  • Plan one special outing with your family for the month
  • Plan a special themed family dinner night
  • Write a special note to your family and read it to them
  • Start going for walks and at least try to walk 10 minutes a day
  • Drink 8 full glasses of water to stay hydrated
  • Make sure you don’t have any health appointments that you have been putting off and if you do schedule it
  • Take a full guilt free day to rest and lay in bed binging your favorite shows
  • Find a new podcast to listen to that you really resonate with
  • Listen to meditation music once in the morning and once at night

The Top Ways Moms Really Love Spending Their Mothers day

The Top Ways Moms Really Love Spending Their Mothers day

Mothers day is on the way and though we should celebrate and love on our moms as much as we can all the time, this one special day is a day we get to show our love it a little extra. Its a day to show your mom you appreciate all her love, support and efforts. As beautiful as it all is its also a time where every commercial, every ad, every billboard is trying to convince you the best way to show up for your mom or telling dads how to show up for their wives each year and a lot of the gestures are nice and most moms appreciate pretty much anything you do for them but it can start to feel a little overwhelming with deciding what to do. I wanted to share some ideas that don’t break the bank, and are just really thoughtful and more from the heart. A lot of us forget sometimes how how little it actually takes to make a mom smile.

A quiet morning: Peace and quiet, yep that’s it, a morning with no alarm clock, no tasks to do immediately out of the bed, no one asking her to look for anything, just peace and quiet. People don’t realize how noisy a moms morning can be sometimes and a lot of us moms don’t even realize it until we finally have silence. Treating a mom to a cozy quiet morning to herself is definitely a great way to have her start her mothers day.

Breakfast in bed: The food can be store bought or made with love but its a nice way to let mom know its okay to relax this day. When moms wake up their first thought is what should i make the family to eat so returning the favor to her will be a treat. It can be a simple and traditional breakfast like pancakes, eggs, fruit and coffee or whatever her favorite breakfast is.

A card from the heart: Taking the time to find a card that says exactly what your heart feels or going the extra mile and writing a handwritten letter yourself. Choosing to express your love and gratitude this way is sure to put a smile on any moms face.

Book a massage or spa treatment: A day at the spa gives moms a chance to unwind, relax and rejuvenate and it makes them feel special. Its a moment where they don’t have to do the pampering and they just get to sit back and be pampered. They can get back massages, manicures, pedicures, Jacuzzi time, and peace and quiet. Its very easy for moms to forget about some of the simpler forms of self care and this gives them a chance to be reminded of that and how much they need and deserve it.

Time outdoors: Going for a walk, having a picnic, spending they day at an outdoor festival or their favorite beach or park gives moms a chance to soak in some sunlight and get some fresh air. Picnics don’t take much to plan just a few favorite foods for everyone and a cozy blanket is all you really need.

A photo session with family: One thing moms of today love to do is take pictures. Moms are now taking pictures of every moment and every milestone so surprising her with a paid photo session with a local photographer to get some planned family photos may be something she loves. You can even get family and loved ones to all meet up to join in on the moment to make memories that will last forever.

A day with no electronics: A lot of families spend a decent amount of time on their phones, watching TV or on some type of device and sometimes that can take everyone out of the present moment a little. Choosing a special day where the family cant use any devices for a few hours to truly connect, bond and do fun stuff together would help to remind everyone how special those moments are.

Showing appreciation: The main goal of mothers day is to show mothers that they are appreciated and loved. Take time to really pay attention to the mothers in your life to really see what makes them feel valued and just simply do those things. A grand gesture, a ton of money, or this over thought out plan is not always necessary, sometimes its the smallest things that can give mothers the biggest smiles. You can simply just ask a mom how she wants to spend her mothers day and listen.

Let this mothers day be filled with love, laughter, peace and joy for all the moms around the world. Anything you do will be enough so don’t worry to much about what you choose and just enjoy your time with the moms in your life that your so thankful for!

For any moms reading today, I hope you have a beautiful mothers day, your value to your family is so much more than you could ever know and you are so appreciated!
