This Mother's Day, why not return the favor by plannng a special day or afternoon with her! Besides creating special memories for the both of you, giving Mom your full attention during a fun-filled day might be the most precious gift you can give her this Mother's Day.

• Invite your mom over for an old fashion tea party. Serve tea and special desserts. Choose a dessert or treat, that you know will make her mouth water. Set out photo albums of her from over the years - share memories - laugh and enjoy your time together.
  
  

• Invite Mom to go with you for a walk. Go to your local park or walk in your neighborhood. Enjoy the talk and the spring scenery. Even surprise her after the walk with a fresh bouquet of Mother's Day flowers - that you wrapped in tissue and a big silky ribbon.
  
  

• For long distance moms - Send a balloon bouquet to bring on a smile or a chuckle. Or, put together a bath & body basket - she will know you care. Choose products and scents, especially for her with relaxation and beauty, in mind - wrapped with love.
  
  

• For long-distance or local mom - Choose a favorite picture of your mom with you and your siblings, when you were young children. Have it blown up and buy a beautiful frame for it. Wrap a big silky ribbon around it. The memories will bring on a loving smile!
  
  

• Invite her to go shopping with you and treat her to brunch. What Mom doesn't like to shop!?
  
  

• If she is a card player - invite her over for a family card game extravaganza! Make up her favorite party foods and beverages. Play her favorite music in the background during the card party.
  
  

• Make up your own coupon book, on your computer. Offer to help with chores or projects, she needs done. Don't forget to add - a "hug" coupon.
