Moms everywhere are hoping for some very easy-to-give, yet rarely given gifts. Sure, a necklace, pair of shoes, or a bag might be nice, but deep down what most moms wish for is more time, a break from a mundane task, or some time for themselves.

| What mom really wants for Mother's Day or any other holiday:
| |
“There is nothing as powerful as a mother’s love, and nothing as healing as a child’s soul.” – Unknown |
- A long, hot, uninterrupted shower
- A sink clear of all dirty dishes
- Clean, folded, and put-away laundry
- Time to drink a hot cup of coffee or tea- while it's still hot
- For things that get knocked over or dropped to be picked up
- For uninterrupted time to tackle the never ending To-Do list
- A family outing during which everyone is happy
- One morning to sleep in
- A night out with friends without the kids
| - A hot, uninterrupted meal
- Basically, allow us to do anything uninterrupted
- A clean car (inside and out)
- Take the trash out!
- Time to get ready without someone holding her pant leg, crying, asking for help, or needing to be rescued
- Privacy when using the bathroom
- A family photo with everyone smiling
Pro tip: Help take the pictures of the family if you are taller. Hold the camera up high at an angle so mom looks her best.
| - Take the kids on a bike ride for thirty minutes, so she can dance around the kitchen to her music, something other than Kidz Bop, Baby Shark, It’s Raining Tacos, or Ole Town Road.
- A nap or an interrupted rest
- To watch a show from start to finish without having to pause or rewind
- An hour of quiet to read a book, journal, meditate or do yoga
- A trip to the store without kids to get shopping done quickly and tear-free
- Time to prepare a meal without someone else constantly needing something

PS. Mother’s Day is TODAY. It is Sunday. Not Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday, or three weeks away. It is TODAY!
