O Mothers

Mothers Day is coming. It is a day for cards and kisses, chocolate and hugs. The hardest thing in the world is to get moms something for Mother’s Day. You feel bad just giving her a note but you are as broke as a hobo so you can’t but her something so you look through the house for something. Hopefully we can both learn something about what to do for Mother’s Day.

One thing you can do is make a "What’s Happening Now" list. It is a list you make of what happened this year so she can remember this mother’s day and not forget what has happened or what she has achieved. You can put either family events like uncle Ben turned 52 or you can say a news event like the royal wedding. It helps to look back at the past and remember the happiness.

If your mom likes flowers but you don’t have the money to buy a bouquet then you could simply make flowers. You need tissue paper that is preferably her favorite color. You also need a nice tissue paper that can be used to wrap around the flowers for the wrapper. You need to simply cut out squares of the colored tissue paper and roll them up so they look like buds. The tighter you roll them the more they look like buds. If you want to make flowers just don’t roll it tightly. Attach green rolled up paper as stems to the flowers and wrap the wrapper around it for the perfect bouquet.

            I know the bouquet works out rather nice. It is a creative way that always makes moms smile. Plus, they do not die so you can always remember them. I am excited to see how the list works out. It is a very nice way to remember the laughter and tears of the year. I hope these ideas help you give your mom a nice gift that she will always remember, even if you are broke like me.
