Pampering Mom: What Moms Want Most

Ok, moms…here’s your chance.  What do you want most?  You can be honest.  If you don’t want another potted plant for your birthday because it’s just one more thing to take care of, let it be known!  Sometimes we just need to speak up.  It’s okay to tell your spouse what you’d really like when it comes to gifts.  You may not get them, but at least he’ll have a better idea of what will make you happy.  Here are my top 6 most wanted gifts:

1. Peace & Quiet — Doesn’t a morning or evening alone in the house sound great? If you’re like me, you’ll probably even spend at least some of that time cleaning or cooking without distractions but the quietness is refreshing!  Have dad take the kids out or send them to grandmas.
2. A Massage — With motherhood comes a lot of tension.  The kids fight, your to-do list is a mile long and you worry you’re not doing a good enough job.  A massage will help you relax and ease the muscles in your body. An hour of “me time” can do wonders for the body & soul!
3. Pedicure — Fresh feet and pretty toes are sure to put a smile on almost any mom’s face.  Again, the “me time” is essential for refueling to take care of the troops.
4. Housecleaner — Take some chores off mom’s plate by hiring a housecleaner for a couple of hours or put in the elbow grease yourself by  doing a load of laundry or mopping the floors.  Believe me, mom will notice and appreciate the extra help!  Enlist the kids where you can!
5. Dinner — Take care of dinner so mom doesn’t have to.  Don’t forget to clean up afterwards!
6. Shopping Spree — Moms often overlook themselves when it comes to clothing.  I only have a limited amount of time to shop and my 3 kids and husband come first.  I rarely get a chance to shop for just myself so a mommy shopping spree would be a luxury!

So, tell me.  What do YOU want most?
