CELEBRATING FROM AFAR IN KUALA LUMPUR

This Mother's Day you may not be able to be with your mom in person, so how do you still celebrate her and make her feel loved? Below are five ideas to do just that from an appropriate social distance.

Have An Online Chat: This one is almost a must. Use an online chat forum like Zoom or WhatsApp to wish mom a Happy Mother's Day and while you're at it, dig out an old photo album and flip through it 'together' for a time of reminiscing.

Have Something Delivered: This year it's easier than ever to have something delivered right to your door. Send mom some flowers, cookies, or a meal as a reminder of how loved she is.

Host A Virtual Game Night: This is perfect for those moms that love games. There are a good number of games that you can now play online over Zoom including Bingo, Charades, or Pictionary.

Donate To Her Favorite Charity: There are currently so many people in need now is a great time to be generous. This year, instead of a gift, donate to a charity that she cares about, in her name.

Send Her A Care Package: Moms are always the best at sending care packages so return the favor this Mother's Day and send her one. Fill a box with items such as photos or a photo album, drawings and notes from you, your family, and your kids, chocolates, cookies, candy, or another of her favorite treats. This idea requires some forward-thinking, but it will be worth it when you see how much it means to her.
