There are a lot of designated days of celebration this week. Maybe you’d like to get on one or two of them.
We are probably all tracking Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. One minute it was May 1st and the next we are celebrating Mother’s Day. One of my favorite things is doing mom life with other ladies who are rocking out the role. I always like to acknowledge them with a little card
I got all my cards addressed and ready to go. You all know I am on a mission to keep the postal service in business. Join me, if you like, and give a snail mail shout out to some of your favorite moms.
A survey was done and moms all preferred a little alone time as their number one gift. I don’t think we are surprised by that….we all love the kids and the grands but a moment of respite, yes please and thank you. So experiences are great mom gifts. Think – spa, massage, nails, cooking classes, etc.
You know I can’t miss the opportunity to plug good books. So one to read would be great, but also a beautiful coffee table book on a subject she’s interested in would be lovely. And lastly, a just for her item. Most moms have very few things that no one else touches. Kids wear our socks, borrow beauty items and use our kindles and computers. So grab something personalized or special just for her.
This week is also Nurse’s week and the specific day is May 6th, which happens to coincide nicely with National Donut Day. So if you want to honor a group of nurses, a donut delivery to an office or a floor would probably be appreciated. If you know a specific nurse, I think a gift card for lunch would be ideal. And of course it is nice to treat them with a personal service to care for themselves since they specialize in caring for others.
On Thursday of this week, we also have the opportunity to recognize our Besties. If you are close by or can actually see each other, it would be wonderful to get a coffee or lunch together. But also, be intentional about making contact via text or an actual phone call…..yep, people still do that. And lastly, a sweet gesture would be letting your friend know how you prayed for them on this day.
We are all about supporting, encouraging and being a cheerleader for women around here. So just look at all the opportunities this week.
Wishing you all a wonderful week – may you celebrate others and be celebrated yourself!
I love the besties day! Thanks for sharing because I didn’t know. I will have to celebrate that one. It’s also teacher appreciation week.
There is a ton going on this week!🌻
So much going on
