… thats how many days it is until May 9th, Mother’s Day 2010.
To some, the second Sunday in May is just another day. To others, it’s the most important day of the year. It’s the day when we get to honor our mothers and recognize the amazing job that they do – Mother’s Day.
Over the years, the mother’s role has seen some significant changes. It has always been expected for a mother to dedicate her life to her family, and this made a “good” mother. Between general housekeeping, shopping, rearing the children, laundry, and having three square meals ready for the family, a mother saw very little time for herself.
The modern mom in 2010 sees a completely different world. She is expected to perform all above motherly duties, as well as work full time and provide for the household. In some cases, she is unfortunately doing this by herself. Being a mother is a lifetime job, and the ability to manage so many different facets at once is an absolutely amazing feat.
Give a mother the recognition she deserves on her special day, and know how much time she has committed to doing the very best for the ones she loves, and only expecting to receive that love in return.

Mothers Day Brunch at Home
Let’s get personal. That’s what many families are doing when they make plans for a Mother’s Day brunch. Adding a personal touch may be easier than you imagine. Here are some ideas you can use:
- Make your centerpiece stand out. Don’t limit yourself to flowers. Centerpieces can consist of anything that fits into the theme of the event. For visual interest, you can use a large glass bowl with goldfish swimming in it. You can cluster candles or float votives in water.
- Create unique place cards. As it’s Mothers Day, this would be a great craft item the kids could make and contribute to the party.
- Decorate with a theme. Start by deciding on the colors and the theme. Is your mom a gardener? Decorate the room with flowers cut out of construction paper. Make a chocolate cake covered in flowers made out of candies.
- Don’t forget the cookies. Cookies can be very useful in personalizing a party, either as the dessert or as creative place cards.
