Go for a Hike
Even if you can't walk side-by-side, plan a time to call when you're both available for a stroll through a nearby park. Who knows, maybe it will even become a regular thing.
Hyvee Dietitian Expert Tip
Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. A 155-pound person walking briskly for 30 minutes burns nearly 170 calories.
Bake It with Love
Whether you're shipping cookies or delivering a healthier version of your favorite muffin, Mom is certain to taste the love.
Send a Smile
It's always nice to get flowers. And it's even nicer to get them with gourmet dark chocolates (the better-for-you stuff). Remember to browse the add-on items when you order flowers for delivery online.
Spa Day
Stock up on facial masks, nail care tools, lotions, Basin bath products, and drop a few cucumbers and strawberries into your water. What could be more stress-free than a virtual or at-home day of self-pampering?
