Each and every day a new woman becomes a mother for the first time or all over again. Being a mother changes a person’s life in dramatic ways.

Mother’s Day is a great time of year to honor mothers and attempt to give back just a portion of the tireless love and devotion moms offer their children. Some children provide large gestures, while others feel it’s the little things that can help a mom to feel appreciated. For those needing a little inspiration on treating their mothers in special ways, consider these ideas.

Make mom a breakfast in bed with her favorite morning treats.

Enjoy a movie at home with mom. Let her pick the flick and share her favorite film with you.

Agree to not bicker for the entire day, especially if you are prone to getting into arguments with siblings.

Put together a collage of photos from moments you have shared with mom or your family.

Cook a meal together and learn about everyone’s favorite recipes or the family history.

Give her a locket with your photo inside and have a duplicate you can wear containing her photo.

Write a new email each day with an inspirational quote or special words of love for mom.
