| Mother ’ s Day |

Celebrate your mom ... and other mothers !

from Family Features

Mother ’ s Day is the perfect occasion to show appreciation for your mom by spending quality time with her and the people she loves . However , it ’ s also an excellent time to recognize the dedication and importance of many other mothers in your life .

Use your mobile phone
Before joining your family for Mother ’ s Day brunch , take a few minutes to go through your phone contacts and send a short , personalized message to the extraordinary moms in your network . A simple text message can brighten the day of a colleague who recently became a new mother or a friend who moved abroad .
Don ’ t forget the grandmothers
Your mother ’ s mother and your father ’ s mother are also mothers . If your grandmothers tend to step aside to make room for mothers with young children , remind them that you ’ re thinking of them , too . Give your granny flowers , a recent photo of you to put on the fridge , a card or even a poem praising her legendary apple pie .
This year , take the time to remind ALL the mothers in your life that they positively influence their children ’ s lives and yours , too . n
