I can’t believe it’s May already! Time flights, don’t you agree? This month is very special to me because the two most important people in the world to me were born in May. As a matter of fact, the same day, eight years apart—yes, both my kids were born on May 15. They made me a mom in May, and that right there was the best gift I could have ever ask for.
While I agree that Mother’s Day should be every day, different countries around the world have picked a Sunday in May to celebrate mothers around the world. In the Dominican Republic, my country of origin, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of May. In my second country of residence, Spain, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of May.
I live here now ( USA), of course, and as you all know, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. So I can pretty much celebrate Mother’s Day for a whole month!
You can always start the celebration with a day of pampering and maybe bring mom breakfast in bed and surprise her with a new dinnerware set, such as the Zak BZYOO collection, to add an element of surprise and a gift that the whole family can enjoy together.
Best Gifts for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day gifts are as diverse as the recipients, but one thing is for sure: mom will appreciate any well-thought-out present coming her way.
