Are we really celebrating Happy Mother Day?

Mother's Day is now commercialised to the extent that I doubt it's still a genuine celebration of the love and appreciation that mothers truly deserve.

Of course, there are still those who take the time to make this day special for their mothers. But for many, it's just another holiday, another excuse to spend money. Flowers, chocolates, gift cards - these are all nice gestures, but they don't really mean anything if they're not accompanied by genuine love and appreciation.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't celebrate Mother's Day. But I think we need to rethink how we celebrate it. Instead of focusing on material things, let's focus on what really matters: making our mothers feel loved and appreciated. That means spending time with them, listening to them, and letting them know how much they mean to us.

Here are a few ideas for how to make Mother's Day more meaningful:

• Take her out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
• Cook her a meal.
• Give her a handwritten card expressing your love and appreciation.
• Spend the day with her doing something she enjoys.
• Tell her how much you love her.

These are just a few ideas. The most important thing is to make your mother feel special and loved. So put down the credit card and pick up the phone. Give your mother a call and tell her how much you appreciate her. It's the best gift you can give her.

Happy Mother's Day!
