Every year on the second Sunday of May, Mother’s day is celebrated. Mothers around the world celebrate differently and uniquely. This day focuses on spending time with and honoring those women who have made a difference in our lives. Many sons and daughters look up to a female figure; even if it is not their mom, such as a sister, aunt, or grandma. Not only are moms celebrated on this day, but also all females who teach leadership daily. It is a day to honor not only motherhood but also the influence of mothers in society.
There are so many ways to show appreciation to all those female figures. Though the littlest things may sound cliche, having a picnic or going to brunch and bonding is a great way of creating memories. Another way could be making a homemade meal.
Because of COVID-19, we should continue to follow suggestions from the CDC. People can still find ways to spend time with their loved ones by going out to eat, but it is still possible to stay safe and have a more intimate moment at home.
There is always something to do, whether it is outdoor or indoor. If the weather is nice, many people will aim to do outdoor activities. However, if a mother does not live nearby, there are countless ways to show appreciation virtually. Ever since lockdown began, there have been numerous virtual events that anyone can join, such as Zoom yoga classes or having a virtual game night with others. Signing up for a Sip and Paint class is a fun way of enjoying one another’s time if they do not live close by.
Mothers who have young children can do various activities outdoors as well. Picking out fruit and then creating homemade fruit popsicles with them is a great way to connect with kids. Children love to do physical activities, and it allows moms to see how the little things bring joy to everyone.
Some indoor activities could include creating a scrapbook with different pictures, drawings, and small notes embedded in the scrapbook, and this could also serve as a great gift to give after a long day of activities. Another way of bonding could be by completing a puzzle or plant flowers in the backyard.
Those who like to spoil their female figures whom they may look up to can purchase jewelry, clothes, cars, or even book a vacation, if they can. Sometimes going the extra monetary mile can make that person feel loved.
The women in our lives work tirelessly to nurture, educate, and mold us into decent human beings. Mothers, aunts, sisters, grandmothers; all these strong women should be celebrated and admired every day.
