How to Show the Women in Your Life Appreciation

Women throughout the world are honored on throughout the year with thoughtful gifts including jewelry, flowers, clothing, cards, poems, chocolate, and more.  While these gifts are nice and important on this special day of the year, it is also nice to celebrate this special holiday all year long.  The following suggestions are simple ways in which anyone can pay tribute to the mother or special woman in their life at any time of the year.

Gifts

First, you do not need a holiday to give your mom a nice gift.  If you want to express your love and appreciation to her, give her something nice.  Whether you decide to give jewelry crafted by Shaneco or a handmade card, she will be grateful for the thought behind the gift.  It will become a nice keepsake that she will share with friends and future generations for many years to come.

Words of Affirmation

Next, motherhood is often a thankless job.  Sometimes your mother may need to simply hear that she is loved and appreciated.  You can do this with simple words of affirmation.  Tell her daily that you are grateful for her.  Make an effort to notice all of the little things you does for you, whether it’s cleaning up after you or listening to what you have to say.

Help Out

Another easy thing you can do to celebrate the special women in your life is to lighten her load.  Women can carry a heavy load.  They usually get up before every in the household and go to bed much later.  Look around and determine what you can do to minimize her burden.  It might be something as simple as picking up after you and your siblings.  Perhaps you could take on some larger chores.  Either way, she will appreciate your willingness to do so.

Spend Time with Her

In addition to helping your mom out around the house, sometimes it is nice to simply spend time with her.  This is an especially nice gesture if you are getting older.  Moms tend to spend less and less time with their children as they age.  While it is a good thing for children to develop their independence it is often difficult for parents to adjust.  They tend to get lonely and have trouble figuring out what to do with their new free time.  If your mom is in this stage of your life, you can brighten up her day by doing one of the following suggestions:

• Take her to lunch.
•  Go on a walk together.
• Spend an afternoon at the mall with her.
• Visit a park or museum together.
•  Attend a concert with her. 

Some of these activities may take planning.  However, other times they can be spontaneous as well.  Either way, they will help you mom to feel loved and appreciated.

Call or Text

Finally, sometimes it is simply enough to just pick up the phone and call your mom to say hello.  You can also send her a thoughtful text.  This is a great way to celebrate the women in your life.  It will help you stay in touch, and it will make her feel loved.

Remember, you do not need a holiday to honor the woman who gave you life.  Use these suggestions to honor her everyday of the year.
