Dear CDA Families,
Mother’s love is indescribable, the purest kind of love in the world; her level of forgiveness is unmatchable. So many qualities in a single person; a mother is capable of being loving and strict at the same time and sacrificing anything for her children’s happiness. She is not only a best friend but also a mentor who always encourages and helps her children to achieve all of their goals in life. For all these reasons, whether it’s your mom, grandma, step-mom, mother-in-law, or the mother of your children; a woman this special deserves something extraordinary.
Below are some fun activities the whole family can enjoy together on Mother’s Day and their benefits:
Prepare for a meal outside or breakfast in bed.
Whether you decide to eat outside or at home; eating breakfast will help your body get enough energy to “work” properly during the day. Taking a break for a meal outside helps your brain to relax and promotes happier conversations with your friends and family. Breakfast in bed is a sweet gesture of love that can make anyone feel appreciated and super special.
Register for a flower arrangement class or painting class.
These activities by themselves increase levels of positive energy, improve manual abilities, promotes sensory stimulation, and can also reduce stress.
Schedule a visit to the spa.
There are a number of benefits that come with a relaxing spa visit. Not only to feel better mentally, but you’re also going to de-stress, sleep better and get the benefits of better skin.
Plan a photoshoot.
Photography allows you to capture memories and stories, so when you look back at the photos, you will feel the same emotions that you felt when you took them.
Get active and go for a hike or get a yoga session.
Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.
Visit her favorite place.
Sometimes, visiting your favorite place can be a place or a pleasant location, gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your daily life, and relax, and this can be great for your mental health.
No matter what you do to make Mother’s Day special thing is to have quality time with your loved ones and show them how much you love them.
