5 Meaningful Ways to Make Mom Feel Special

We love to shower Mom with gifts on Mother’s Day – flowers, sweet treats, and a great pair of pajamas, of course! (Use code LOVEMOM for free UPS ground shipping on purchases over $25 now through Mother’s Day.)

But we also like to surprise her with something a little more meaning ful and special. Here are a few heart felt ways you can express your love and appreciation to your Mom:

1. Write her a letter

Whether you can be with Mom in person on Mother’s Day or not, writing her a letter is a really special way to honor her. Beyond telling her how much you care, let her know the specific things you admire about her. Remind her of the times when her encouragement and mothering made a difference in your life.

2. Give her a Pajama Day

One full day where Mom can lounge all in her favorite pjs and not worry about a thing! Here are some ideas to make her Pajama Day special.

3. Make a video for her

Create a special video that she can watch for years to come.  Film family members – your siblings, grandkids, etc ,sharing their favorite stories about Mom, what she’s taught them,  and the they ways that her care has impacted their lives.  Guaranteed your Mom will love it!

4. Make her a Pajama Brunch!

We know your Mom has made you breakfast a million times over, so she’ll love being served breakfast for a change! Here are easy steps to spoiling Mom to a tasty Mother’s Day Brunch!

5. Simply talk to her

If it’s been a while since you’ve had a deeper conversation with your Mom, Mother’s Day is the perfect time to connect with her. Give it some thought ahead of time: what questions have you always wanted to ask her? What have you always wanted to tell your Mom? What are her memories of the ways her mother or grandmother touched her life? Make it your goal to find out some things about your Mom you never knew!

How to wear your pajamas to work with style

Tomorrow is National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day! Quite possibly our favorite unofficial holiday of the year. After all we think you can do your best work in pajamas.

We also think that wearing your pajamas in public can be chic! Here are a few quick tips to pull of wearing your PJs to work with style:

1. Pick the best pajamas for the job! (no pun intended)

Some PJ fabrics are really light for comfort, which is perfect for home but no so much for the office. Make sure the pajamas you wear aren’t see-thru or worn out.

And here’s another tip: if you know your jammies wrinkle easy, you might want to iron them with a little spray starch just so they stay looking fresh for the whole day.

2. Trade in slippers for a cute pair of shoes.

We love the look of pairing a fancier heel with a pajama set. Or consider wearing a fun striped sock with a pair of converse and your favorite PJ pants. A great pair of shoes can give your pajamas just the right touch for the office!

3. Layer.

Uplevel the look of your pajamas with something from your regular wardrobe for a stylish look. Consider wearing a pretty lace tank top or colorful tee shirt under your pajama top with a pair of skinny jeans. Or, add a blazer or the right cardigan to a PJ set. Not only will you look put together, but you’ll stay warm and cozy.

4. Accessorize!

Add sparkle and style with your favorite earrings, necklace, watch, etc. Throw on a bold scarf or a belt if it works with the outfit. Choose a coordinating bag and you’re ready for your day of style and comfort!

Now over to you – how to do you wear your PJs with style?
