IS MOM WITH YOU IN YOUR HOME?

     -Have Mom's favorite meal delivered.
     Help the kids make it special by having them make homemade placemats and name plates for seats.

     -"Mom is queen for the day!"
     Turn the whole day into a game where mom is queen.  Kids serve and clean.  Dad's do what the kids cannot,

     -Is Mom a coffee Drinker?
      Make her a special mug!  Best of all, send her out of the house for the afternoon as you and the kids make the mug.

     -Need to use items you can likely find around the house?
     Make her a special card.

     -Give Mom a Mother's Day Coupon Book (and actually come through when she cashes in her coupons!)

     -Have each child fill out a Mother's Day Questionnaire.

     -Plan a family day out! (Give mom the option to stay home/go out by herself.)

IS THERE ANOTHER MOM IN YOUR LIFE?

• Overwhelmed Mom (while this could be anyone, think about families of first responders, teachers, health care professionals, single moms, etc.):

     -Have Mom's favorite meal delivered.
     Have your kids (or her kids) create placemats with encouraging words for mom.

     -Is she a coffee Drinker?
     Bring her favorite drink (and a gift card with a baby sitting coupon for her to cash in after quarantine).

• Lonely Mom (think about those who have lost children, widows, or those with children who are away):
     -Create cards with encouraging notes (or have do it with your small group!)
 
     -Send Mom flowers to let her know she is not forgotten (or chocolates if that is more her style)
 
     -Arrange a “drive-by” Mother’s Day Parade honoring her as a mom
 
• Not sure who in your life might fall into one of these catagories? Call a local nursing home to see if there is anyone who seems particularly overlooked in this season.
