7 Things Mom Never Told You (But You Should Know) !

MOM – All the love in the world begins and ends here! For every mother, her children mean the world to her and there’s no one as beautiful as them. She must have told you a thousand times how much she loves you, believes in you and would stand by you. But there are many things she never told you but you ought to know. Curious? Read on!

1. You’ve made her cry

You made her cry

Before you argue that you have never done it, let us tell you that you’ve made her cry a number of times whether you realized it or not. The moment she realized she was pregnant, she cried. When she gave birth to you, she cried. When she first held you, she cried. When you first called her mom, she cried. Of course, she never told you but she has felt your pain and experienced your joys that all made her cry much more than you think.

2. She was afraid…always!

She-was-afraid-always

We know every mom is a super mom and super moms are strong and fearless. But, to tell you a fact, she was always afraid! She was afraid about her pregnancy, about your health, about your safety, about your grades, about your coming home late, about your future and just so much she never told you about.

3. It hurt badly

It-hurt-badly

Being a mother is all about tolerating pain yet remaining strong and she has gone through every bit of it. Yes, it hurt her when you kicked her from her belly, when she gave birth to you, when you pulled her hair and when you bit her while drinking milk. And, that pain is nothing like the one you can ever imagine!

4. She never meant it

She-never-meant-it

She must have scolded you a hundred times, told you she wouldn’t talk to you the next time you made the same mistake or got late to pack your lunch that got you a punishment at school. But, she never meant it! For her, you are her everything, and, no matter how much you pissed her off, her love didn’t recede even a bit.

5. She put you ahead of everything else

She didn’t bother having breakfast herself but made sure she fed you before rushing to work. She spent sleepless nights putting you to sleep. No matter how hungry she was, she gave you that last piece of cake and watched you as you munched it with delight. She always put you and your needs ahead of everything else in the world and never let you know what she compromised for your happiness.

6. You are her biggest weakness

You-are-her-biggest-weakness

Think your mom is the strongest in the world? Well, definitely she is unless it’s an issue cornering you! She always stood by you in bad times, supported you and lifted you up every time you fell but she never told you how weak it made her seeing you fall down. In the entire world, it is you that can make her go weak in her knees more than anything else!

7. She loves being pampered

She-loves-being-pampered

Did she ever tell you that she loves being pampered and surprised? We bet she didn’t but yeah, she simply loves it when you do it for her. It gives her the happiness of the world to be loved by her children and pampered by them.

When was the last time you said ‘I Love You Mom’ to her? Don’t remember? Well, now is the time! With Mother’s Day coming up fast on the 8th of May, let her know that she is your strength and that she means the world to you. Check out some cool Mother’s Day surprises online and book one for her right away.

What Moms Really Want For Mother’s Day!

They say ‘God could not be everywhere so he created Mothers’. Oh, we just cannot agree more! A mother is the best gift of God; she is a blessing in every way and an angel of your life. Of course, she deserves all your love and pampering on the day meant to honor her.

So what have you planned for mom this Mother’s Day? Before you juggle between the various gifting options, find out what mom really wants from you on Mother’s Day!

A Day Off From Parenting

A-Day-Off-From-Parenting

She has mothered you nine months even before you were born. And, she has been mothering you ever since. Of course, she deserves a break, doesn’t she? Many moms on Mother’s Day actually desire to get a day off from parenting and all the typical household chores that they do every single day of the year. So, this Mother’s Day, give her some ‘me-time’ and a day off from parenting. Maybe you can take care of your younger siblings so that she finds some time for herself!

Adequate Sleep

Adequate-Sleep

This is one thing that mothers literally crave – sleep! Yes, she gets tired too although she is always ready to cook your favorite meal when you ask for it. Research proves that moms lack sleep the most while they are busy looking after kids and family. So, this 8th May, let her sleep till late and relax in her bed.

A Relaxing Day At The Spa

A-Relaxing-Day-At-The-Spa

Moms juggle between numerous chores every day. She cooks breakfast for you, cleans the plates, rushes to work, gets groceries, ensures you finish your homework and more? And, she does all of this every single day of the year. Many mothers, therefore, desire a relaxing day at the spa on Mother’s Day. This is the best way they can relieve themselves of all the stress and prepare for another busy week. So, arrange her a relaxing day at the nearest spa and watch her face light up!

A Bit Of Your Time

A-Bit-Of-Your-Time

There is nothing apart from time that a mother will ever want from her child. While she has parented you all these years, she has grown in age herself. And, while she wouldn’t expect you to buy her expensive jewelry or anything fancy, she surely wants a bit of your time. So, spare some time from your hectic schedule this Mother’s Day and let her know she’s special.

Love And Pampering

Love-And-Pampering

She has loved and pampered you with everything you wanted ever since you were a kid. It’s time now to return the favor and give her the same. Moms secretly desire love and pampering from their kids although most of them wouldn’t openly confess it. Just make an effort to take her out to her favorite place this Mother’s Day, cook her favorite delicacy or shower her with enticing Mother’s Day gifts.

Love Flowers? 11 Flower Hacks You’ll Love More

Did you know that you could turn a fused out bulb into a flower holder?

11032343_10153446137949629_6718701151657033433_n
We’ve lined up 11 more amazing flower hacks that any flower lover will love.

Vase Replacement

08c14da42b6a150d72d2f1705fd3b5da

Out of vases to present your flowers?  Cut the stems and place them in a tea cup.

The Rule Of 45 Degrees

nrm_1407866150-7h1a9857

Always cut stems at a 45 degree angle. By doing this the stem ends have more surface area to soak up water. This way your flowers will always look hydrated. Also the stems will get a better base and won’t slip.

Open Closed Buds

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Facing trouble with flowers that are beautiful but closed? Here’s a simple technique. After cutting the stems at a 45 degree angle, immerse the flowers in warm water, so that it covers 40% of the length of the stems for about a minute. Immediately immerse the flowers in cold water for 20 minutes and watch the flowers bloom up to their maximum size.

Alcohol For Happier Flowers

vodka

While a night of drunkenness will leave you looking terrible, it has quite the opposite effect on flowers.  Take precautions before your flowers wilt by adding a few drops of vodka mixed with white sugar. However, when your flowers are at the brink of wilting, breathe life into them by adding a shot of vodka into the water and they’ll be up for a day or two. Life is indeed better when you’re drunk!

Succulents As Home Decor

succelnt

Confused about how to present the succulents someone gifted you?  Those old dessert bowls that you want to dispose can be put to good use as replacement pots. Fill them up to the brim with soil, and moisten with water. Place the succulents on top of them. Eventually they’ll grow roots and you’ll have a beautiful set of decor plants.

Shallow Vase Woes

db0bd8a76a9682492bec40add434cf7e

Create a grid using water resistant tape on the brim of a shallow vase to keep your flowers intact. Trim the stems and place them inside the grid.

Fruity Blooms

ee2fe110f9086af8079142dd64c13ff0

Take two vases, eg. a rectangular shaped medium vase and a large cylindrical vase. Stick the rectangular one inside the cylindrical vase. Fill both of them up with water. And slip sliced lemons in the gap between the cylindrical and rectangular vase.

A Penny A Day Keeps The Flowers Fresh

Drop a penny into the flower vase to keep the flowers fresh. The copper in the penny acts as an acidifier that helps prevent fungal and bacterial growth, thus improving the longevity of the flowers.

 Bed Of Roses

petals

Thinking of decking up your bath tub or bed with roses? Make this task a little easier by twisting the head of a rose to easily access its petals.

Perfecting The Flower Arrangement

After following the ground rule, of trimming the stems of your flowers at a 45 degree angles, insert the flowers in a crisscross pattern in the vase. This way they’ll support each other and the arrangement too will look fuller.

Enhance It

ribbon

Add a touch of class to your flower arrangement by wrapping a ribbon around it. Your flowers will simple, yet elegant.
