4. Let Mom Choose

Most moms I know, eat last. And sleep last. And do just about everything last. So, how about for this day, mom gets to choose everything. Mom picks what movie to watch, what music to listen to, and what activities to do. Plus, you guessed it, mom eats and goes to bed FIRST. Sounds like a dream, right?!

5. Go With Her Love Language

And finally, we are all wired differently in terms of love. So, figure out if mom loves touch, gifts, quality time, affirmations, or acts of service. Then, sprinkle it in throughout the day!

For example, if mom loves

• Gifts: leave a trail of small gifts or treats for her to find.
• Affirmations: write encouraging words on her bathroom mirror or leave post-it notes on her pillow.
• Touch: Give her a massage, hugs, and hold her hand.
• Acts of Service: Get her a coffee, and don’t forget about breakfast in bed!
• Quality Time: Plan a date night, family night, or other activity to do with people she loves.
