So you really want to make your wife know how much you appreciate her on Mother's Day ... but you're completely lacking in skills when it comes to the "crafts" and "original ideas" departments. If this sounds like you, don't worry! You can still create the best-ever Mother's Day for her.
Draw her a bubble bath: light some candles, put on some music and keep the kids occupied (maybe buy them a new videotape to watch). This will allow Mom to enjoy a little piece of spa-living right at home!
Make her a candlelight dinner: even if it's a simple meal, the gesture will make her feel like it's back in the days when you were courting her. Psst, if you need help in the kitchen, check out some of our fast and easy chicken recipes or whip up a feast in 20-munutes flat.Oh, and if you're looking to turn up the heat a notch, the recipe for romance is sure to help.
Mix it up when it comes to flowers: don't just go for the red roses with baby's breath. Mix it up! Maybe buy half-a dozen roses, and add in some calla-lillies and/or tulips to give your bouquet a different look. You can do this yourself at home or ask the florist to help you out.
Arrange a lunch with her friends: surprise her with a lunch date! Get in cahoots with some of the husband's of your wife's friends. Make plans ahead of time for all of the Dads to babysit for the kids so the mom's can go out to a nice lunch. Go ahead and make the reservations for them and everything! She'll be grateful for the splurge, and still get to enjoy most of the day with the people that matter most to her - you and the kids!
