Let’s all make the mothers in our lives feel really special this year. May 10th is right around the corner. Mother’s Day doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Love is free. What do you have planned? An Air Miles survey revealed that 71% of collectors surveyed plan to take Mom out for a special meal, 57% are planning to buy flowers, and 23% are giving Mom a gift of jewelry. Here are some great ideas for Toronto Moms.

•    Take a trip to the Toronto Islands
•    Treat Mom to a round of golf
•    Make Mom breakfast in bed
•    Give Mom a spa treatment
•    Take Mom to brunch
•    Clean up the yard
•    Take Mom to the Toronto Zoo
•    Enjoy a Mother’s Day Tea Tasting at the Bata Shoe Museum
•    Take Mom to a Mother’s Day Cream Tea at the Spadina Museum
•    Participate in a Wildflower Walk for Mom
•    Enjoy a Mother’s Day Brunch and Hike at Kortright
•    Participate in the Mother’s Day ROMwalk

We often take Moms for granted. They give us so much and get so little in return. A recent Angus Reid poll reports that:

•    73% of women surveyed treat themselves to something special less than once a week.
•    81% of women surveyed said they deprive themselves of something they want at least occasionally because they don’t want to feel guilty.
•    65% of women polled felt that women don’t do enough for themselves in order to achieve a daily sense of wellbeing.

Let’s make Moms know how much they are loved and appreciated.
