As Mother's Day approaches, Moms everywhere are hoping for some very easy-to-give, yet rarely given gifts. Sure, a necklace, pair of shoes, or a bag might be nice, but deep down what most moms wish for is more time, a break from a mundane task, or some time for themselves.
What mom really wants for Mother's Day or any other holiday:
- A long, hot, uninterrupted shower
- A sink clear of all dirty dishes
- Clean, folded, and put-away laundry
- Time to drink a hot cup of coffee or tea
- For things that get knocked over or dropped to be picked up
- For uninterrupted time to tackle the never ending To-Do list
- A night out with friends without the kids
- An hour to watch a show from start to finish without having to pause or rewind
- One morning to sleep in
- An hour of quiet to read a book, journal, meditate or do yoga
- A trip to the store without kids to get shopping done quickly and tear-free
- Time to prepare a meal without someone else constantly needing something
- A hot, uninterrupted meal
- A clean car (inside and out)
- Time to get ready without someone holding her pant leg, crying, asking for help or needing to be rescued
- Privacy when using the bathroom
- A nap
- A family photo with everyone smiling
- A family outing during which everyone is happy
