Have you ever looked up the definition of mom? We did just for fun and here is what we found…

Mom [mom] n. a term of endearment used to refer to a woman or girl who is admired
a. beautiful or stylish; amazing; to be admired
v: to act as a mother toward; act maternally toward

These descriptions are all well and true, however we all know there is so much more to the definition of Mom than this. Moms are our mentors, caregivers, cheerleaders, best friends, guidance counsellors and so much more. One thing we also know is that no matter who you call Mom, she is worth celebrating! This year we have some ways to celebrate Mother’s Day with that special person who represents these things to you. Show her your appreciation with delicious food fare, spa treatments, spring blooms, or the thing she probably wants the most – quality time with you in nature!
