1) A day ALONE not on actual mothers day (but hey that could be the case) but a full on day alone, sometimes in the house to stay in jammies all day drink copious amounts of wine, watch trashy t.v and have no diapers to change.
2) For someone else to do everything while you tell her she's pretty. Sure the day alone would be nice but hey if you a nursing mama and or she just can't swing it with nap time then do it ALL for her. I'm talking meals, diapers, feedings, you name it. When the kiddos need something mama doesn't do it.
3) Possibly a new bag or piece of of jewelry. Hey no-one is insulting the macaroni necklace or diaper bag but this is your time to shine. Buy her something that screams "My kids can't touch this!" or "I might have a social life outside of playdates" you can thank me later as I am sure she'll be smitten to have a purse so tiny it only carries things for her.
Also here are a few suggestions *wink wink
4) A handmade gift from the little ones. You guys this gets my every time, go for that handprint or hand painted cup she'll love it. It also wouldn't hurt if that coffee mug came with a fresh cup of coffee she didn't have to make herself.
5) Let her pee in piece! I know sounds odd but this gift might actually make me cry. Each and every time I have to use the ladies room, my daughter yells "I coming! I coming" just once I would love a day heck a weekend where I don't have a audience while I pee. Same goes for the shower, you know what the bathroom is off limits while she's in there on Mothers Day!
6) Oh and while we are one the subject of taming the little ones can you please handle all meltdown for the day? The kids loose their sh*t, you take them ok?
7) Last but not least in fact it may be the most important one! Tons and tons of love and kisses and not just from the kids. Hey this woman does a lot for the family, make sure to tell her. It can be in a mushy card or straight from your mouth just make sure today of all days she knows how much you appreciate her and how fabulous she is. Oh and how pretty she is, don't forget she's pretty spectacular.
XOXO
