Mother’s Day 2017

Mother’s day is May 14th, 2017.

Mother’s Day is literally days away. Don’t be left asking yourself when mother’s day is this year.   May 14th to be exact. Mom does so much for you, so don’t let the one day that devoted strictly to her go unappreciated.

Personally, I start prepping for mother’s day weeks ahead.

Second to last week of April is when I start planning for Mother’s Day. The reason I do this is to make sure I get meaningful gifts for both mom, and in my case, mom-in-law.

It’s always nice to get mom something on Mother’s Day that you wouldn’t normally get her on any other occasion like a birthday or for the holidays.

If you’re a husband, then you have even bigger shoes to fill on Mother’s Day.

The expectations for Mother’s Day from your wife are much higher for you then they are from your kids. She did bear, and raise YOUR children. She needs every day to be mother’s day. But of course if you can’t afford to do that or if you don’t have the time to grovel at her feet 24 hours of everyday, then a whopper of a Mother’s Day gift is the way to go.

Some gift ideas for the mother of your children also known as MOM for Mother’s Day are;

  • Mothers Rings. These are special rings with multiple stones. For instance if you have 3 kids, you’d get each of their birthstones. So if your children are born in September, April, and July then you’d get a ring with a Sapphire, Diamond, and a Ruby. If your kids were good to you then you get nice stone like this. But if your kids are like me…you get stuck with Opal (Yes I was born in October)
  • Mothers Necklace. This pretty much the same as a mother’s ring, but nowadays people usually get a simple pendant. It becomes hard to color coordinate multi colored stones with a wardrobe. This is also a very popular gift for new moms. Moms to be or first time mothers are usually gifted a diamond solitaire pendant for their first mother’s day. Sometimes first time dads have the baby’s name and birthday engraved on the necklace.
  • Mothers Bracelet. This is a pretty easy gift idea. Many moms are busy and always forgetting to put their rings back on, but bracelets are usually never taken off. So mom will always have it on.

Of course as a mom I can tell you getting anything, even special attention is amazing and makes me feel amazing.

But getting that little something extra is wonderful. That little bit of extra appreciation, for the sleepless nights, vomit encrusted shirts, pooped filled diapers, belly aches, and stress filled nights of homework.

Being a mother is a gift in it of its self, but getting something special to commemorate it is an amazing feeling.
