Happy Mother's Day: Celebration of Motherhood

Happy Mother's Day: Celebration of Motherhood

Happy mother's day
Happy Mother's Day

"Mother" or "Maa", when heard the only thing you can imagine is picture of your mother, her favorite words, her love, her care, sacrifices and what not.

Mother is that backbone of the family without whom no family can be complete. She the person who brought you to this  world and this is the most beautiful and biggest gift to you from her. She is the only person who will be staying with you from your birth to death no matter whatever take place.

Mother's Day is the celebration of Motherhood and influence of mother's love, care and sacrifice. Just a day of celebration for this special person is not enough. We should celebrate it everyday. Celebration for her is not always the material goods you gift her. You will never ever pay the cost of what she does for you and your family.

Material goods have the time limit instead creating sweet memories by means of loving, caring and understanding will remain for lifetime.

Some ways I would suggest to celebrate Mother's Day everyday are:

  • Wishing her good morning with a cup of tea or coffee with a big smile on your face. She will feel so much energized and happy. A day began happy will be spent happy.
  • Help her with the households. She will gain strength and not feel lonely.
  • At times, treat her in her favorite restaurant or even cook a dish she loves the most.
  • Spare some time to talk to her. Discuss your problems and future plans. Update her with what's going on around.
  • Hug her when she is upset. 
  • Understand her in every situation.
  • Gift her something that she loved and wished to buy but due to some reason was not able to buy it.
  • Last but not the least, say "Thank You" to her everyday for small small things or for no reason.

I hope your mother will like this. Let me know, if you have some other ways to show your love and care to your mother which made her day.

Let's celebrate Mother's Day everyday...

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Interesting and pleasing to eyes right?
That's the place of colors in our lives. Colors are believed to improve someone's​ mood too. Even a single brush of color can be attractive.

Let's reuse our old paints and crayons and make something that fills our lives with beautiful colors.

Art for kids : Scratch Art


This one is so so easy and magical that your kids can do it by themselves without your guidance.

This the art that I used to do during ma childhood. It requires minimum things and it is very easy to be made by your kids themselves.

Art for teens/adults : Scratch Paint


Now this one is for the teens and adults to play with. This is similar to what we have done for kids but the only difference is we are going to use only black acrylic color.

This thing on old CDs looks like a master piece isn't it?
