I'm a thirteen-year-old girl, and I have an amazing mom. She does so much for me, and I want to show her how much I appreciate her. She's always there for me when I need to talk to her or if I need help with something. Recently, for instance, she let me try home school when I was so unhappy with regular school.
She does so much for me, and I want to do something for her, too -- something that will show her I really care about and appreciate her. Thank you!

One thing I think mom would definitely appreciate is a day off. Moms really never get a day off. They are always in mom mode. If you have younger siblings you might offer to watch the younger children on a Saturday so mom and dad can go out for the day and evening to just enjoy doing whatever it is they like doing together.
For your part you take care of the younger children and do whatever mom would normally do on a Saturday. I would assume this would including cooking for you and your siblings, possibly doing the laundry and cleaning the house.
The cost to you to do something like this is just time. TO mom though having a real day off is huge as moms rarely get a real day off.
Help around the house are what moms' appreciate the most. Sure a trip to a spa is nice. But a trip to the spa just puts off the inevitable of having to return home and do everything she needs to do just in less time than normal.

Whenever I wanted to let my parents know I loved them, I'd write them a note. You could draw her something too if you'd like or make her a card. You can bake food for her like cookies or brownies. Anything you do, I'm sure she'll love it. Just be creative. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

It may seem simple to you, but trust me: She will treasure that letter more than any jewelry, spa day or nicknack.
Sit down, organize your thoughts. Take it as seriously as you'd take the most important class assignment. Tell her the truth about how much she means to you and how much you appreciate all her hard work. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
