It's Mother's Day this weekend, and for 24 hours at least, mothers across the region will be given the treatment they deserve.
One of the best way to celebrate Mother's Day is to give your mum the day off. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family treats her like the queen she is.
Many families begin Mother's Day with breakfast in bed. Usually dad and the children will let mum sleep late as they go into the kitchen and prepare her favourite meal. A Mother's Day breakfast can consist of anything your mum likes.
After the food is cooked arrange everything nicely on a tray. Don't forget the vase with a single flower. With spring here, the children can pick a tulip or daffodil from the garden outside.
When everything is ready carefully carry the tray and mum's favourite newspaper up to her bedroom.
Cards and small presents from the children can be placed on the tray before it is presented to mother in bed. Many families make a special Mother's Day dinner or take her out to her favourite restaurant for a meal.
It is a good day to let your mum relax and let her see what a wonderful family she has.
