Mothers are special every day of the year. But Mother's Day is that one day designated to celebrate how wonderful our moms truly are. We set aside some special time for our mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, or any special nurturing mom in your life who makes your life better.
There are lots of ways to honor the favorite mothers in your life, but creating and potentially sharing a meal together is something that you both can enjoy. Is your special mom living in the same house? Then it's easy to pamper her with a celebratory meal. In the time of Covid-19, however, maybe you cannot sit down with mom to eat, but you can perhaps drop off some special food to show her love and attention. Either way, make sure she's doesn't have to do the dishes!
We've put together a collection of low-carb and keto brunch and dinner ideas, and tossed in a couple of celebratory touches you might add to show just how much she means to you.
Mother's Day gifts during quarantine
Treasuring moms across the miles
If you can't be with your mom this Mother's day, here's some additional ideas to celebrate her:
- Make and send a homemade card. Whether it's a handprint, fingerprint, or lopsided hearts, the mother who raised you will value the extra effort.
- Print a favorite photo of the mom you're celebrating. The photo might include her with children or grandchildren. Use an online printing service and have the photo sent directly to her.
- Set up a video call and surprise her with a song or poem you created just for her.
- Send her a gift card to her favorite shop or restaurant.
- Have flowers or a meal delivered that lets her know you're thinking of her even if you can't be together.
Simple, thoughtful gifts that don't require a lot of money are often the most highly treasured. Of all the gifts you can give, what moms really want is time with you.
Diet Doctor wishes all of our mothers a very happy, and healthy, Mother's Day.
