birthday gifts for mom 40 image
Q. My mom is going to be 40 on the 17th. She is a mother of 3. My brother is 20, I am 16 and I have an 18 month old sister. Any Ideas. Preferably answers from mothers.
Answer
I wish your mother a happy birthday. I am also a mother 3, ages 15 months/ 3years/7years. I will be 35 next month and will be traveling with all 3 kids by myself (by plane) on the day of my birthday. Not exactly the present I was thinking of! I love my kids and every minute I have with them (well, almost every minute). However, the best present I can think of at this point is a weekend away. I would love to be able to eat a meal, shower, or read a book without any interruptions (from work, my kids, and even my husband). I think many mothers spend most of their time doing things for their family and often don't have time to take care of themselves. Think about what your mother enjoys to do, other than care for her family, and gift her the gift of time to do that thing. If you are looking for something more practical, I recently received a beautiful silver accordian locket. It is not too big (I don't like big jewelry), but it opens up like a book so that you can fit four pictures in it. It is called the Booklet Locket and was purchased from "red Envelope." I put all three of my girls' and my husband's pictures in it. As much as I wish for time to my self, I miss my girls when I am at work and like to take a peek once in awhile. If you have time, you can have locket sized pictures taken at Wal-Mart to put in it for her birthday. I hope your mother has a great day.

Anybody have any ideas for a memorable birthday party for a mother?

My mom's turning 40 on Sunday, March 15 and she wants my sister, my dad and myself to make this birthday of hers really special and memorable. We've come up with ideas but nothing that just pops out and is truly amazing. We are kind of budgeted. Does anyone have any ideas?
Answer
have an easter egg hunt for her. buy plastic eggs and inside them, put money, jewelry, makeup items that fit (nail polish, eye shadow, etc). make your own coupons and put them in to give her time off. do dishes for the week or vacuum, laundry, cook things along that line. Maybe she wants to take art, dance or music lessons. Maybe you can get a gift certificate for cooking lessons. There must be somethings she has mentioned over time that you can fulfill for her. a day of beauty package at a spa. Help her pick out a new hairtstyle. shower her with flowers. each day a new bouquet in the week leading up to her birthdate. hand make birthday and thank you mom cards. get her tickets to hear her favorite singer (eventho the date may be later in the year) and if it is out of town, overnight hotel reservations. maybe she wants a flower bed planted or yardwork done. Maybe have a study or hobby room set up for her. hope this helps.
