For the mom who works hard during the day, whether it’s in the office or running about, it can be hard to keep up with the daily agenda, stay on top of housework, restock the pantry at home, and still feel ready and prepared to host a dinner or cocktail party over the weekend. So surprise mom this year by taking a day to care for her home for her.
Start by deep cleaning the house. If she doesn’t have a cleaning service, dust the floorboards and vacuum all around. Is the silver polished? Tackle that next. Next, look to her pantry and her stash of cocktail napkins and candles. Is she out of entertaining foodstuffs like salted nuts, crackers, tapenades, and cocktail olives? What about seasonally-appropriate cocktail napkins? Sparkling water and other mixers? Restock whatever essentials she should have (and surprise her with a bottle of Champagne awaiting in the fridge). And don’t forget the working moms with kids at home — make sure their pantry is stocked with these go-to mealtime staples for making a nutritious, kid-friendly meal in no time.
