Making Mums Feel Special

By Dr Bill Maier

All right kids, pay attention, because today's message is for you!

When was the last time you told Mum how much you appreciate all she does?

Have you thanked her for driving you to school and football practice and your many other activities?

How about the food she puts on the table? Or the piles of laundry she sifts through?

It's easy to take mums for granted, but the fact is, she doesn't have to do all these things.

She does them because she loves you. Why not take time to return the favour?

It doesn't take much to make mums happy – a simple note of thanks will mean more to her than you can imagine. Better yet, why not give her a day off?

Pick a Saturday and take over all the chores. Let her curl up with a good book and spend the day catering to her every need, just to let her know how much you love her.
