Give Her More Than Flowers
May is for celebrating and honoring our mothers. Sure, a bouquet of flowers is nice, but cut flowers won’t even last the month. We suggest you give your mom something to last a lifetime. It doesn’t matter whether you are 5 or 50, your mother will cherish a homemade gift from you.
Make her a meal she’ll never forget, plant her a bed of perennials, sew her a one-of-a-kind wearable, bottle up your special blend of hot sauce, or bring her breakfast in bed (dads, you can help the kids with this one!). And if you are not skilled in any of these departments, maybe your mom is — give her one of Storey’s fine books, and maybe she’ll make you something.
