Mother's Day is a special occasion where we celebrate and honor the women who have shaped our lives. It's a time to show appreciation for all that they do and to make them feel loved and appreciated. However, with the commercialization of the holiday, it can be easy to get caught up in the fluff and forget what moms really want.
In this special Mother's Day episode of The Motherhood Kit podcast, host Yamel shares insights on what moms really want on this special day, and also shares a special message from her family to yours on what Mother’s Day means to them.

While moms appreciate gestures of flowers and restaurants on this special day, they don't necessarily need all the commercial fluff. Yamel discusses the three themes that apply to what moms really want on Mother's Day: the gift of time, pampering, and well thought out gifts.
The Gift of Time
The gift of time is a popular theme among moms, with many wishing for a day where they can relax and not manage anyone's needs. Yamel shares an example of a friend who gave her an Instapot and how it gave her extra time. She encourages listeners to think of ways to give moms time back in their day, whether it's taking a task off of their plate or giving them a day off from managing their family's needs.
Pampering
Pampering is another theme that many moms want for Mother's Day. Yamel suggests that pampering doesn't have to involve a huge budget, but can be something as simple as creating a spa day experience at home or booking a spa day for a future date. She encourages listeners to involve the kids in the process and to think of creative ways to pamper the special mom in their life.
Well Thought Out Gifts
Yamel emphasizes the importance of well thought out gifts. She suggests framing a special picture or hiring a photographer to document a day in the life of a special mom with her kids. She encourages listeners to think beyond the commercial fluff and to give a gift that is well thought out and personalized to the mom's interests and personality.
Yamel wishes all the moms a happy Mother's Day next week and hopes that they feel honored, loved, appreciated, and celebrated. She encourages listeners to remember that Mother's Day is a time to show appreciation for all that moms do and to give them the gift of time, pampering, and well thought out gifts.
