Dear Mom

If we’re being honest, most of us don’t tell our moms how important she is as much as we should.  But the truth is, she can never hear it enough. To help us focus a little more on our Mothers and how much they mean to us, Land’s End is asking a daily question and waiting to hear your answers. Today they asked me (and you) to answer the following: What unique ways have you told your mom you love her?

Beyond the phone call, text or face to face “I love you’s”; one of my favorite ways to tell my Mom she’s loved is through a thoughtful gesture or experience. Anytime her and my Dad travel, I watch her furbaby Baxter — paying extra close attention to give him the snuggles and love that he’s accustomed to. Upon their return, I try to have some sort of yummy meal (packaged cutely) ready and waiting to enjoy after a long day’s travel! Another way I show her she’s loved, is by spending time together: hosting family meals — dressed up a little nicer, implementing all that she’s taught me, and with more thought invested into the menu. Or taking the initiative to plan fun activities for when all of us are together. Or even simply inviting her to join me for a late night grocery run, just so we can have a little alone time together to talk and catch up. It’s through these little things that I hope to show her, she’s on my mind and always in my heart. Because none of who I am or what I hold most dear would be possible without her! I love you, Mom!
