4 Ways to Celebrate Another Mom on Mother's Day

Easy ways to show another mom you appreciate her

By Denene Millner, Parenting
Give her a night off. Cook extra when you make dinner, then deliver a couple of plates to her house, with a note that says, simply: "Enjoy!"

Kidnap her. Drop by when her hubby's home and take her out somewhere. (It doesn't have to be fancy; a cup of coffee at Starbucks sans kids will be appreciated.)

Take her kid. Babysit so she can go on a worry-free date with her husband.

Tell her you love her. No BFF will ever get tired of hearing it.
