Mom’s are the best! This is where we get hugs, help and unconditional love from the crib to our adult life. They are there when no one else is and always ready to help in whatever way we need. Some of our mom’s are very health-minded and we should aid them in their quest to stay healthy. Treat them like queens, especially on that special day of the year.
The gift of good health may be the best gift we can give. Keep your mom feeling pampered, refreshed and healthy. This quality time is more valuable than anything you can buy for her.
Take her to the gym with you or to a health spa where she can relax in a sauna or have a relaxing hydro massage. Be sure to use the equipment first to make the most of the sauna and massage.
Spending the time with you at the spa is far more valuable and says “I Love You” in a way that nothing else can. Quality time together gets shorter and shorter as children create their own family. The additional grandchildren take up much of their time so when they take time out for us, it really does mean a world to us, as moms.
Suggestions on healthful eating can help. Providing a delivery of the month of apples or oranges gives your mom that required fruit for healthful eating. Avoid that big, beautiful package of chocolate and substitute instead with wholesome foods.
This in itself shows our mom that we really care and tells her we love her in a different and meaningly way. If you feel a gift is absolutely necessary, how about giving her that membership to the health club or provide a piece of equipment that she can use at home? Perhaps even a massager for her neck? A soothing yogi candle might bring her a sense of balance and calming energy for her routine.
All moms desire the effect of staying hydrated and is the major pillar of good health. There are many feminine looking water bottles that keep the drinks cold for 24 hours, or warm for 12. This is a good reminder sitting on the counter to keep taking those sips and stay hydrated.
Make the most of the time we have together now as we never know what tomorrow will bring. If you just absolutely have to give candy or flowers, please opt for a beautiful flower or plant with some health benefits. She will know this is your proof to her of your undying love.
