Feeling a little overwhelmed finding that perfect gift for mom? Then continue reading for more that a few perfect ideas to celebrate this century's old tradition. A true gift of love does not mean precious stones and pricey jewelry. Small gifts count too!
One great way to acknowledge this day is to Adopt A Mom. Mother’s Day can offer you a chance to support and recognize some deserving women:
Single Mothers: We
take off our hats to single mothers who take the responsibility to
raise their children alone. It’s a tough job even at the best of times.
If you know a single mother, spoil her this Mother's Day or at least
tell her what a great job
she is doing.
Lonely Mothers: This
mother’s
day will come and go with many elderly mothers in nursing homes
watching their friends receive visits from family. If you are brave and
can spare an hour, you can make a huge difference by visiting women who
have contributed to their community
in their time. If you have young children, take them along; they are
great icebreakers and benefit from early community involvement.
Refugee Mothers: Every
country
has its shares of refugees, with stories of pain, despair and loss.
Imagine, some of these women have lost their family, their home and
community. Beginning a new life in a very foreign place, especially
when language is an issue can be daunting. A simple
thing like offering to take a refugee mum on a shopping trip can make a
world of difference. Most cities have a refugee or asylum seekers
support centre where you can make further enquiries.

Gifts to Mother Earth:
To many traditional
cultures, the earth is a mother
figure; a giver and sustainer of life. From this perspective, the
destruction of the earth through irresponsible mining, logging,
trawling and everyday polluting seem to be a form of ‘rape and pillage’.
While there’s little doubt that these
immense enterprises are considered vital to the world economy and
therefore fairly inviolate, individuals can still make a difference by
giving back to our ‘mother earth’.
By implementing small and simple changes in your behavior, you can act
as
a caretaker and help ensure that the next generation will also have its
opportunities to enjoy nature at its purest. As with our own mothers,
we can love our ‘mother earth’ by treating her with respect.Clean up your act:
Clean Up Your Act
For example:CIf
you are out and about enjoying your local parks, beaches or forests,
leave the space in a better condition then you found it. Take gloves
and a rubbish bag with you.
Fill your bag with all the litter it can hold. Take it with you and
dispose of it thoughtfully. The world will thank you – and it’s a great
habit to instill in young kids.
Think about what you are buying: Although readily available at your
markets,
most Atlantic cod, many varieties of tuna, and Atlantic halibut are
critically endangered due to overfishing. Keep an eye on what you’re
buying and vote with your dollar.
Reduce your emissions:
Reduce your emissions
You
can reduce greenhouse pollution by switching your household power
supply to accredited Green Power, installing a water efficient shower
head, improving roof insulation, switching off any power points while
not
in active use and installing a solar hot water heater.
Go Organic!
Go organic!
Help reduce the 40 million tons of synthetic chemicals produced each year by clearing your home
of chemical compounds. Buy your insect repellent, air freshener, dishwashing liquids and household cleaning concentrate from the MiEnviron range. And know you are doing the world a big favour.
