Mother’s Day Simple Treats

Mother’s Day hits differently for me. It was on Mother’s Day that I lost my dear Dad to Colon Cancer so I’m still stuck on the dreaded day.

My kids try from school projects to make me some hand-made gifts and cards and I’m guaranteed a cute little poem and a sketch from Masedi and beautiful, made-with-love cup of coffee from Ngidumile.

Other than coffee and a sketch, Mother’s Day isn’t that different for us single moms, no time to be pampered as the household still needs to run and no one to take up the duties if we decide to sneak in for a massage.

Self care is important yet we don’t always make time for it nor do we have the budget to do anything big. Our broke house mates try their best with the cards and we too can feed our souls with some of the affordable special things below:

• Take a nap in clean crisp linen

• Go for a long walk with your favorite podcast or music on

• Give yourself a makeover

• Soak yourself in a bubble bath

• Make tea in that beautiful set you’ve packed for the special occasion

• Pour yourself a glass of wine or favorite beverage

• Listen to your kids stories

• Watch a family friendly movie with kids

• Have a dance party with kids

• Allow them to teach you one of their games (Roblox, Mineshaft or Fortnite).

Remember to laugh a lot too.

This treats may seem trivial, however they will leave you with good memories to cherish for years to come.

Happy Mother’s Day!
