Mother! Mommy! Angel!

May 08, 2022

Hello dear readers! Today May 8, 2022 is a special day, in many countries we celebrate the day of mothers, warrior women, and givers of life, unconditional love, and enterprising women and sacrificed for the welfare and happiness of their children. For me it is an honor to pay tribute through this article, to our beautiful angels here on earth.

Some customs and traditions for this day

Mother's Day is an international holiday in honor of mothers. On this day, it is customary to congratulate mothers and pregnant women. Mother's Day corresponds to the best traditions in the ideas of kindness and honoring a woman-mother. A mother is the main person whose selfless love saves us in the most difficult moments and whose kindness, care and patience help us throughout our life.

In countries such as the United States and Australia, there is a tradition of wearing a carnation flower on clothing on this day. Also, color matters, as a colored carnation indicates that a person's mother is alive, and white flowers are placed on clothes in memory of deceased mothers. In other places they simply congratulate their mothers, either by phone, postcard, giving gifts, everyone decides for himself.

What to give mom as a gift?

Generally, in Latin American and Caribbean countries it is customary to celebrate this day in family gatherings, where Mom is the honoree; she receives all the attention of the day and is showered with any number of gifts. Here you will find some recommendations on what to give Mom on this special day. Remember that our mothers can be given gifts any day of the year, so these ideas can be used for any special occasion.

- Flowers: Every woman loves flowers, so surprise your mother with a wonderful bouquet. Choose her favorite flowers, they will definitely be appreciated. You can also gift flowers in a pot, mothers love to take care of them and water them. If your mom is allergic to flowers, then you can give her a bouquet of chocolates. If money is tight (the reader can be a boy or girl), you can make flowers out of paper. Look for video tutorials through the internet with a description on how to make paper flowers, and surprise mom. I'm sure she will greatly appreciate the detail made with your own hands.

- Perfumes and skin care products: If your mom pays special attention to her beauty, or if you think she should do it more often, then perfumes are a good choice because they are practically every woman's most striking accessory, which can be chosen according to her personality. Fragrances for mature women exude sophistication and elegance. Think about what scent your mother would like best.

Skin care creams, cosmetics, lotions are sure to please you. Even women of a more mature age do not refuse mascara, lipstick and other makeup products. Mother's Day is a great opportunity to add these items to your collection.

Essential oils will delight not only a pleasant aroma, but also a healing effect. Choosing the right option, you can help your mother to cope with skin problems, bad mood or simply take care of her well-being.

- Jewelry: All women love jewelry and this gift will be appreciated by all mothers. It all depends on how much money you have. Diamonds, gold, silver or just cheap but beautiful jewelry. Your mother will like it; the main thing is to give it with love in the heart. And if there is no money, you can make something yourself. Handmade work is now highly valued, you can make beautiful jewelry that will look expensive only because of its originality.

- Invitation to the theater, cinema, spa or restaurant: A ticket to the theater, a certificate to a spa, a beauty salon, a trip to the sea, invitations to an art exhibition, today you can give a lot of interesting things. A good option would be a joint trip to a restaurant or even a walk in the park.

-A market (food): With a limited budget, it's okay to give gifts without luxuries. A grocery basket will be an excellent alternative to make mom happy and save her from the hassle of spending money at the supermarket.

You may not be able to give expensive gifts. However, everyone can afford to give a pleasant conversation. Chat, rejoice together, and exchange positive emotions. To do this, it is not necessary to spend money, even a home-cooked meal and a cake already means a lot. After all, the most important thing is the attention and love that you can give your mom.

What does it mean to be a mother?

A mother is the main person in our life, whose selfless love saves us in the most difficult moments and whose kindness, care and patience help us throughout our life. Being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, because mothers have a great responsibility: in most cases, it depends on them how the child will grow up, the future of the country and the world. Being a mother means giving life to a new person, caring for and protecting the child, teaching it how to live in this world and helping it to become a full-fledged member of human society. To be a mother is to harbor life in your womb for nine (9) months and to spend long sleepless nights when the little child is sick. Being a mother also means giving up eating and dressing so that your child will be fed and have clothes to wear.

Mom!

Mom - is the word that in the life of every person is associated with the most warm, bright and intimate feelings. Probably, all of us at least once thought about where the word "mom" comes from. It is believed that the word MOM refers to the group of words that appeared even before the appearance of articulate speech in people. It is almost impossible to trace the history of this word, as there are similar sound combinations with the same meaning in almost all languages of the world. It is probably the oldest and most beautiful word on earth.

Reflection

Mother's Day is not only a celebration of the woman who brought you into the world. It is also a celebration of the mother of your children. So let's not forget to congratulate and surprise our wives, as well as grandmothers, great-grandmothers, sisters, mother-in-law, and all those who have already become mothers. They deserve it and will be delighted to receive your attention.

Never forget about gifts for mom. They don't have to be material things, a simple phone call or a visit will brighten her soul. Mom will be immensely happy just to have you around so she can hug you. The more she pays attention, the more happiness you will give your Angel here on earth.

I would like to appeal to all children, no matter if they are 20 or 50 years old, remember their mothers more often. Love them, communicate with them, give them gifts and go visit them constantly, they miss you so much. It's great that there is a Mother's Day holiday, but remembers that you don't need a reason to love your mother, and it's better to say warm words every day.

I wish every mother as many smiles and reasons as possible to be proud of her children! Happy Mother's Day!
