Just a friendly reminder from your friends at MessageMakers: Mother’s Day is on Sunday (May 13, 2012). If you’re having trouble coming up with ideas, events or plans for the special day, take a look at this checklist we found over at familycorner.com.

Before you go running off, we should tell you the best way to use this checklist is as a way to activate your creative mind. Keep in mind, no list is going to be comprehensive (she's YOUR mom, after all).

Here's a simple process to remember when choosing ideas:

1. Think about your mom’s personality.
2. Pick a Mother’s Day idea from the checklist (or any basic idea).
3. Add a personal touch such as a note, a picture of you and your mom, or a gift that reminds her of a good time you had together.

Congratulations, you’re on your way to planning a great Mother’s Day.

Also, if you’re going to be in the Lansing area this weekend, check back later this week for our list of great (and cheap) places to visit on Mother’s Day.
