What does mom really want for Mother's Day?

What do Moms really want for Mother's Day? The answer may surprise you.

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Moms work hard around the clock, and they deserve more than we could ever give them. For Mother’s Day, you want to give that special woman in your life something as wonderful as she is.

But what do Moms really want for Mother’s Day?

The answer may surprise you.

Making Mother’s Day meaningful just takes a little intention. Mykou Thao of HmongBaby.com has some great ideas.

  • Moms want to be seen, acknowledged, and remembered. Tell her “Thank you” and be specific. You can absolutely say, “Thank you for being a great mom.” But answer WHY she is a great mom. Also, give her some Me-Time. Gift her with some room to breathe and recharge, to do something that re-energizes her by simply being fun.

Moms want to enjoy their kids. One of the most fun ways that Mom enjoys her kids is through pictures. The trying child can be difficult in real life, but absolutely adorable in a picture. Gianna Kordatzky of Family Fun Twin Cities states, “I love my kids in pictures.”

  • Another way Mom can enjoy her kids is by learning something with them or teaching them something new. Take on a family project like learning a new language or cooking a new food.
  • Most importantly, moms want to know they are making a difference. You can embrace technology with this one. Create a video with the ways she has made a difference in your family’s life. Make it meaningful or funny (but make sure it’s true!)
