First and foremost if you have your packages delivered like you see in the picture above, make sure you get them inside and wrapped before mom sees them.

Mother's Day is Sunday and I have written about the gifts that moms don't want for Mother's Day. Check out the article, real life moms gave their feedback about what they don't want. I also received feedback about some things that moms do want. Moms certainly don't want to be responsible for cooking and cleaning on Mother's Day, take mom to brunch at one of these Lansing area restaurants.

It's not mom's job to do the cooking and cleaning. We work together at our house and split those duties in our household along with a multitude of other chores like laundry, cleaning and yard work.

Remember, mom changed your diapers, cleaned up your puke and cleaned your face.

Thoughtful gifts are always a good gift idea. What has mom talked about in her life that you took note of? There's gotta be something extra special that she's mentioned. Show your a good kid and get her that gift. Mom obviously hasn't purchased it for herself yet. It also tells mom that you pay attention to her.

There are also moms that like to be pampered. There are moms that like sports and enjoy going to professional games. There are moms that love it all. Which mom is yours?

I've got some ideas that might work for your gift to mom. Make it an awesome Mother's Day that she won't forget.

I have never met a mom who didn't like a massage. Book one for her for Mother's Day or a gift card would be nice.

The most important gift you can give your mom is time. Overwhelmingly moms requested quality time with YOU. I think that they would like that anytime of year but Sunday is important to them. Happy Mother's Day to all moms, bonus moms and mother figures. Enjoy your day.
