A Mother’s Day Made for You

This Mother’s Day, treat yourself.

Plan a relaxing day or indulge by buying those shoes you’ve been eyeing. If you don’t have the time or are too tired to even think about pampering yourself, don’t worry. We have some great ideas that will make this Mother’s Day memorable.

Maid in heaven – Does your perfect day include a spotless house? Then hire a maid for the day (or the day before) and enjoy a pristine house without lifting a finger.

Forget the spa - Not every mom has the luxury of a day off. Instead, get a 30-minute or one-hour massage and be amazed at the difference it will make.

Big screen romance – Sneak away to the movie theater by yourself or with another mom and enjoy a chick flick. Movies currently out include “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” with Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner or “Confessions of a Shopaholic” with Isla Fisher (at value theaters).

Retail therapy – Enjoy a blissful afternoon spent wandering the mall completely alone. Shop in peace without having to pick up clothes pulled off hangers by little hands or stopping every other store for a snack. You can even try on clothes in the dressing room!Dine in – No cooking allowed! Have dinner delivered or have your husband and kids pick up take out. Then enjoy a fabulous meal at home, followed by a bubble bath with candlelight, music and a good book.
