(b) Creative Ideas for Mother's Day

Mother's Day is due in about a week (May 13th, 2007).
In this issue I have decided to include some original ideas which you may use to celebrate it in a special way.

Hopefully, it will help make your mothers at least a little bit happier...
By the way - you don't have to tell them you got the ideas from Best100Ideas.com.
In this case - you may take the credit to yourself...

Here are the creative ideas for a unique Mother's Day celebration:

1. An Article in her Honor: Write and dedicate a special article to your mother. The article content may be related to something that your mother is or was involved in - her profession, a hobby of hers, something she is especially good at. The article may be written in a serious academic style, or in a lighter, more daily, approach. In any case - it should include a mention of your mother - perhaps even quoting her as an expert on the issue, or demonstrating the important principles in your article through examples of your mother's actions and activities.
   
   As for place you may publish the article - the options are plentiful. You may send the article to a local newspaper, publish it on the Internet (on website that enable people to post articles - ezinearticle.com is one of my personal favorites; in a Blog; in a special website you build for your mother), or even print a special edition of the printed article or articles and distribute it among family and friends.
   
   
2. M.O.T.H.E.R Six-Fold Celebration: Instead of celebrating Mother's Day through a single idea, this idea involves six different ways to celebrate during the same day. The six ideas should begin with the six letters that make up the word "Mother". You could choose the six parts of the celebration by yourself according to things that you think your mother would like, or you could let your mother choose from several options or ideas that you would prepare in advance.
   
   Example ideas that may fit the letters are:
   M could stand for Movies, Make-up workshop, Moroccan Belly Dancing, Mystery novel reading.
   O could be Outdoor Jacuzzi, Opera, Organic breakfast, or Open Source programming...
   T may give you the chance to experience Tap dancing, Turbo car racing, or simply Tea with biscuits.
   H is a good time for a Harmonica lesson, Happy Hour at the pub, Holmes Place, or an Honest and open talk.
   E could be Electric guitar playing or concert, Empanadas at the corner deli, and a show on E!-TV.
   R makes me think of a Relaxing massage, a Romantic dinner for mother and father, or a Rapper show!!!
   
   Another option is to build this list of small celebrations so that they constitute the letters of your mother's name.
   
   
3. The Seven Wonders of Motherhood: In this idea you have to think of the major 7 incredible things that your mother has done for you or for other members of the family or close friends. You then need to turn these seven magnificent achievements into a kind of museum exhibition that demonstrates and glorifies her actions.
   
   For instance, if one of the wonderful things that your mother has been responsible for is the tasty meals that she always makes, you may take close-up photos of her specialty dishes, print them on big posters, and exhibit the dish "collection" in one room. Another room may be dedicated to her good taste in interior design and may include quotations of people she has given interior design advice, or examples of interior design ingenuity.
   
   These are the ideas for this issue. Happy Mother's Day all you great mothers out there!
