The Twenty Minute Day

You know its coming. Don’t procrastinate!

It’s that time of year. Mother’s Day is just around the corner. It becomes so easy to rush to pick up flowers on your way over to your Mom’s house but do you really think that tells your mom how important she is in your life. Does it honor her the way you intend.

Amazon is always another option. Order today, it comes tomorrow.

But there are more thoughtful things out there. Offer to take you mother to brunch on a follow up occasion, or tickets to a show she has really wanted to go to, but won’t splurge on herself. Frame a picture that has special meaning or write her a song.

If all else fails, find something whimsical that says you gave it thought and didn’t rush to pick it up on the way there. Yes this is an affiliate link but I couldn’t resist how fun it would be to leave your mom random notes any day of the year.

Remember that not all ways to show you love her need to cost a lot. It’s the time, effort and meaning that go a long way in making the day special.

And how does all this tie back into making the most of your day? If you plan ahead and focus on finding a gift idea that you are ready to share the day of, you won’t be stressed, and your mom will feel the difference! Trust me.
