Gifts for Mothers - The Hearts of the Universe

Mothers come in all shapes and sizes and ages. And choosing a gift for your mom can be a real challenge. You want your gift to be really really special this year, right?

You can purchase something that she wants and will not purchase for herself. Moms are famous for their unselfishness! Does she secretly want to take ballet lessons? Or does she want to take a trip?

Please don't give mom appliances to clean or cook. Make this day all about her - not about her duties!

Create something for her. A gift from your heart means the most. Moms all over the world love to read something written by their child, or admire art created by their child.

Make a lens and dedicate it to your mom - tell us all about her. We would enjoy reading about your mom - everybody has a story -- even your mom! Or choose another idea on this page - create something!

Create Your Mother's Day Gift

Writing for MomMost every mom would love to read her adult child's thoughts on childhood. Write a page or two of favorite memories or favorite sayings.
Give Mom a gift she will read again and again!

You can use these sentences to get started:
When I was very young, my mom taught me to ride a bike.
My favorite summer activity as a child was swimming at the lake.
My mother always said, "Do as you are told."
My mom makes the best apple pie, banana bread or woven baskets.

Or take a gratitude approach and list 50 things you are thankful your mom taught you. Yes, make a list!
Thank you, Mom for teaching me...
1. how to swim
2. how to ride a bike
3. how to clean a dirty window sill
4. how to use starch
5. how to make a great casserole

Now, have you started writing yet?

How to Write Your Personal History

You can give mom your own personal history - she would enjoy reading how you see your life so far -- and her part in your development.

Or start her on her own personal history - give her a guide book or a list of ideas or a recorder or journal.

Stages of Moms

from my e-mail today - author unknown

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, 'Because I love you best.'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - W ish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

How will you celebrate Mother's Day?
