Best friend. Role model. Call her what you want, your mom, your stepmom or adored auntie is a v. special person in your life. Here are 10 ways to remind her of that this Mother&#8217;s Day. (<em>Psst!<\/em> It&#8217;s May 11.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Let her sleep in. <\/strong>You don\u2019t have to ask if she\u2019ll pick you up from regionals on Saturday <em>rightthissecond<\/em>, promise. And when she\u2019s finally done dozing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Bring her brunch in bed. <\/strong>Avocado toast + fresh-squeezed orange juice = one very happy mama. (Bro, you\u2019re on dish duty.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Plan the perfect party.<\/strong> Tea for two, plz. Cue all the pretty pastels, bunches of blooms and queen-worthy cuppas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Shower her with compliments. <\/strong>Fill a jar with all the reasons you love Mom written on tiny strips of colorful cardstock. She can pull one out whenever she needs some cheering up<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0Do all your chores&#8230;and all of hers. <\/strong>Whether it\u2019s washing her car, cleaning the bathrooms or taking out the recycling, make sure Mom doesn\u2019t have to lift a finger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Get mom + daughter manis.<\/strong> Coordinate colors to be tip twins and, if you\u2019re able to splurge, pair your polish with a pretty pedi, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Put pen to paper. <\/strong>Find a cute card\u2014or DIY your own\u2014then write a message to your mama inside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Give her alone time. <\/strong>Your mom loves you, duh, but sometimes she just really wants some peace and quiet. Offer to babysit your little sis for the afternoon so she can snag some R&amp;R.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Teach her something\u2014then let her teach you. <\/strong>Show Mom how to use Insta Stories (finally!) in exchange for learning how to make Grandma\u2019s secret spaghetti sauce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Say \u201cI love you\u201d <\/strong>and give her a big hug. Simple as that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Mother&#8217;s Day!
