Make mum feel more special

This Mother’s Day, let mum know how appreciated and loved she is.
Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to shower mum with gifts and show her how much she means.
But when there are little ones, even the simplest gesture speaks volumes.
Kids, here are some easy (and cheap!) ways to spoil mum on Mother’s Day.
A thoughtful gift such as breakfast in bed or a homemade card is sure to bring a smile to your mum’s dial.
Start out by making your mum a cup of her favourite beverage – such as tea or coffee.
Then, while she’s relaxing in bed sipping on her drink, get to work on breakfast.
If you’re not a whiz in the kitchen, something simple like fruit with yoghurt or porridge will do the trick.
For something with a bit more effort, whip up a batch of French toast or pancakes, or go all out and make bacon and eggs.
Make your mum a card with a heartfelt message.
If you want to continue the culinary efforts, get the family together for a special Mother’s Day meal, where your mum doesn’t have to lift a finger.
Pick some flowers from your backyard and create a bouquet for a sure-fire winning present.
Channel your inner do-it-yourselfer and make your mum a painting.
Take a walk with mum for a heart-to-heart or simply enjoy some quiet time together.
Put on her favourite movie and get her to relax.
And if you want to go all-out with something more extravagant, talk to dad and see if he can chip in for a luxurious spa treatment or some jewellery.And last, but not least, don’t forget to tell your mum “I love you”.
Happy Mother’s Day.
