Pamper Your Mom this Weekend – Whatever That Means…

Mother’s Day is this Sunday – this Sunday! I only realized this recently. I have a new perspective on Mother’s Day now that I am one.

We get bombarded with messages about how to pamper mothers this time of year. What does it mean to pamper someone anyway? My idea of a pampering on Mother’s Day would include the following:

• Sleeping in – not even that late, just a little bit
• Coffee in bed – love that
• Not making any decisions

This final point is key. Pampering to me is not having to make any decisions. Having someone else decide what we are doing that day, what we are having for dinner, etc. is my idea of heaven on earth. I don’t need a lot, just turning my mental energy down to even 60% is a beautiful thing.

Of course – gifts are always nice too (here comes the shameless self promotion).

I love this gift set from Tashodi. I think it has Mother-In-Law written all over it. Tashodi’s products are superb and packaging them in a bamboo steamer you can use later is brilliant.

Whatever you do for the moms in your life this Sunday – be kind, show her some love and ask her how she would like to spend Mother’s Day this year.

Be beautiful. Feel good about it.
