Mothers Day In the UK is March 11

Mothers Day Music Posted on March 3, 2018 by admin_mothersdaymusicMarch 4, 2018
Mothers Day Relaxing Spa Music CD by Don Shetterly

Hey everyone – do you know when Mother’s Day is? Ok, right now, I’m referring to the UK? It is March 11. The US Mother’s Day is May 13 this year.

So, while I’m not exactly sure how the UK celebrates Mother’s Day, I wanted to give a big shout out across the big pond to all the moms. You’re all special no matter where you or I live. Sometimes we forget about other places in the world and when they celebrate things.

Actually, if you live in the UK, I’d love to hear how you celebrate Mother’s Day. What do you do? How do you show Mom she is special?

For me, I don’t think you need to spend a million dollars on your mom on Mother’s Day. There are so many ways you can make her feel special and loved. In fact, I’ve got a feeling if you just spent the day with her, that would mean so much.

When my mom was alive, I loved to make little things for her. If there were flowers to pick, I’d pick some for her. I would take walks with her because that is something she loved to do. It was always a special time for me to take a walk alone with my mom.

I tried to make dinner for her when I could and I made sure she did not have to clean up the kitchen after the meal.

Most of the time, I made a card for her because they just seemed to be much better than anything you could buy in the store. All these years later, I think the card manufacturers miss the mark on greeting cards. They are either just stupid cards or they don’t say what you really feel. Sometimes they are just too generic for my taste.

Regardless of how you choose to celebrate your mom on Mother’s Day in the UK, don’t forget her! Make it a special day for her and you so that you both can cherish it forever.

Remember Mothers Day in the UK is March 11!

Please, leave a comment and let me know how you all celebrate Mother’s Day in the UK because I’ve got a feeling it is different than what we do here in the US. I’m really anxious to know, so leave a comment below!

Yanni Celebrates His Mom

Mothers Day Music Posted on May 12, 2017 by admin_mothersdaymusicMay 12, 2017

Yanni Tribute on Mothers DayI saw this video last night and was touched deeply by it.  Of course, I am a big Yanni fan.

When Yanni shared who this song was written about, it was very touching.  Felitsa is a song that Yanni created and dedicated to his mother, Felitsa Chryssomallis.

You could see though in what he was sharing, just how special his mom was to him.  In the video, he talked about her being present in his own heart as he shared the music.  Yes, Yanni – I could readily see that in you.

I hope you’ll take a moment and listen to what he had to say in this video because it was very touching.

While I realize not everyone had a good mom and for some, Mother’s Day can be painful, it is refreshing to see the love between a mother and her son.

Plus, I just love this song that Yanni created and maybe it touches me deeply since my own mom is no longer walking this earth.

If you have a mom you love that still is around, make sure you let her know.  Don’t wait until it is too late to tell her how much you love her and appreciate.  If you’re a mom, just know that you do have great impact on the lives of your children, long after your time may exist on this earth.

I created this website and the Relaxing Spa Music CD in memory of my own mom.

Mother’s Day Is In The Air

Mothers Day Music Posted on April 27, 2017 by admin_mothersdaymusicApril 27, 2017

Mother's Day Is In The Air-rI see so many things coming through email and in my mailbox about Mother’s Day.  Some want you to buy anything and everything that they can get you to buy.  From jewelry to flowers to everything inbetween.  A few times, I’ve looked at the ads and went “really – for Mother’s Day”.

As a kid, I didn’t spend a lot of money on my mom.  If I could find some flowers around the neighborhood, I’d often ask permission from the owner and pick them to give them to my mom.  Of course, one time I brought home apple tree blossoms thinking they were regular flowers.  My mom loved them anyway.

If I could find some chore around the house to do to make the day a little easier on my mom, I would do that.  Anything to let her know I appreciated what she did for us and how much she did.  Normally though I tried to always help my mom out every day.

Most of all, I’d write a poem and make a nice little card for her.  I don’t remember buying many cards as a kid because I always made them.  I find homemade cards to be much better and more from the heart.

Regardless of what you do, you don’t have to spend a lot of money.  Spending the time with your mom and creatively finding ways to show you appreciate her means more.  Just letting her know that you love and appreciate her is by far one of the best gifts you can give her.

Just don’t forget – Mother’s Day is coming soon.  May 14, 2017

Mothers Day is More Than Money Spent

Mothers Day Music Posted on April 17, 2017 by admin_mothersdaymusicApril 17, 2017

MothersDay things to doI think that sometimes we lose site of this holiday.  It is easy to think we’ve got to spend mega money to celebrate Mother’s Day.  Don’t get me wrong, it is a wonderful day to pamper your mom and just show her that you appreciate her and all she did for you.

However, celebrating Mother’s Day is more than about the money you spent.  It is about being with your mom and taking time out to acknowledge her.  It is about doing something special with her if you’re blessed to live close enough to her.

Mother’s Day is about spending time or making that phone call she says she never gets.  She wants to be with her children and have her children near her.  Once a mom gives birth, that son or daughter is very special to her.  Yes, I know not everyone has that connection, but for many, it does exist.

Going out to eat or buying her flowers can be awesome things to do if you have the mans to do it.  Downloading some relaxing spa music like I have on here can be a gift she gets to use for days after the time we celebrate Mother’s Day.  Even a nice spa day can be so welcomed by a mom.

Don’t think you have to spend a lot of money though because there are so many things you can do that she’ll enjoy just as much.  If you look at the ideas that I’ve listed on this MothersDayMusic.net website, you’ll see some of them don’t cost a cent.

Whatever you do, put some thought into it.  Make it special for your mom and most of all, don’t forget it!  Don’t put it off until the last minute and then scramble to figure out what you are doing.  It does show.  Really, put some time into making it a special day for your mom.  She’ll truly love you for it.

After all, your mom not only carried you for 9 months, she has had to probably go through a lot of stressful times with you while you were growing up.  Sure, a mom loves her child, but anything you can do to say, “thank you mom, I appreciate and love you” is more than welcomed by most.

Feel free to share your ideas on ways you can make Mother’s Day special by commenting on this post.  I’m sure others will be happy you did!

Celebrating Easter With My Mom

Mothers Day Music Posted on April 14, 2017 by admin_mothersdaymusicApril 14, 2017

Celebrating Easter With My MomThis is a good memory I have with my mom and since she is no longer alive, I wanted to share it.  Celebrating Easter was one of the finer moments of life that I got to live through.  Of course, I’m sure it helped the dentist enjoy it more because of all the candy we got.

When I was a kid, every Easter morning, my mom would have the Easter bunny show up and leave us these big Easter baskets full of candy.  As you can see from the picture in this post, we each had an Easter basket.  It wasn’t just a little bit of candy either.  These things were pretty heavy.

My mom soon learned that if she (opps, the Easter Bunny) got me any hollow Chocolate Easter Bunnies with the eyes in them, they would find them in my dresser drawer months later.  I just could never eat those.  It always felt like I was eating a real bunny and I could just not do that.

The Easter basket thing went until you didn’t come home at Easter anymore. I remember being in college and when I’d come home on the holidays, there a basket would be waiting.  I was like, I’m too old for this and she would always say, “you’re never too old in my eyes”.  I think she loved being the Easter bunny as much as anything else.  It was a moment of joy for her with her kids.

Back in those days, that’s when there was great Easter candy, but nowadays the manufacturers have traded profits for memories.

The other thing I remember in celebrating Easter with my mom was that we would always get up and go to Easter Sunrise Service.  I really did not like getting up that early and listening to a boring preacher give two sermons that day.  The part I did like though was normally I got to play the piano for church which I enjoyed.

When we came home from Church, there would be this enormous dinner my mom would make and I always loved Easter dinner.  No matter how little we might have had, she found a way to make the meal stretch and it wasn’t surprising if someone would have been invited to share the meal with us.

Easter is in one of my favorite times of year, Spring!  I love spring because everything is coming back to life and new life shows up.  It is my favorite moment of the year.  I remember when the days would be warming up and Easter was around that time that you could go outside without freezing as much.

My mom did a lot of things for us kids.  I’m not sure my siblings appreciated it as much at the time.  My mom knew how to take a little bit and make it into a lot.  She knew how to make a day like this so special that I would remember it many years later.

Happy Mothers Day Great Britain

Mothers Day Music Posted on March 27, 2017 by admin_mothersdaymusicMarch 27, 2017

I saw this video of Tom Daley and his mom having fun celebrating her mom.  Well, hold on a minute.  I guess if throwing a whip creme pie in each other’s face is celebrating, than hey – they had fun.  They did make it look like fun and were good sports with it.  Although, I think Tom was tugging at his mom’s heart strings a bit.  All-in-all, good clean fun.

I could picture my own mom doing something like this with me while my dad would have been protesting it was stupid and silly.  My mom and I had our own way of laughing and enjoying life.  She was special and I wish she was still around.

Anyway, to all you over there in Great Britain, I didn’t realize yesterday was Mother’s Day so I’m a little late in getting this up online.  Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms, not just Tom Daley’s mom.  Thank you for all you do to help make your children’s life a good one.

I attached the video of Tom Daley and his mom having fun celebrating Mother’s Day.  It is unique, but will give you a smile.  So, go check it out.  Share the love, laughter and fun with everyone!

 

 

Don’t forget, in the US –

Mother’s Day is May 14, 2017

Thinking Of My Mom

Mothers Day Music Posted on April 25, 2016 by admin_mothersdaymusicApril 25, 2016

Mothers Day Relaxing Spa Music CD by Don Shetterly 200Its been many years now since I last was able to speak to my mom. Even before the car accident took her from this world, the communication between us had been severed. No longer could I just see my mom and talk to her for many reasons, not the least of the reasons being the monsters who abused me (and her).

I guess I should make this a happy post since I want this site to be a happy dedication to my mom. However, its hard to ignore the other side of what happened. It is hard to ignore all that she went through as I was growing up. I struggle to find answers to the questions of wondering how much she knew and why she didn’t rescue us. I’m afraid it is not as simple as my mind would lead me to believe.

Regardless, my mom was the one that I gravitated towards in my family. She was beautiful outwardly and inwardly. She cared about others and had so much love, even if she didn’t know how to share the same with her own self. She tended to understand me in ways that no one else did. She seemed to know more about me than most.

Even in the midst of a scathing letter writing for the emotions of the monster in our house, she did realize I was special. I had unique talents and abilities that no one else in the family had. So, even though the words of the letter cut deep, there was the special moment in there.  Most of my life was the special moments mixed in with the terror and trauma.

Its hard to see past some of these things. The days and nights of torment led me to great struggle in life. If only the monster didn’t control her and if only she could rise up against the monster, things would have been different. Unfortunately, that is a fairy tale I now tell myself. Times were different in those days. It wasn’t easy for a wife to stand up to the husband nor was it allowed in society.

I am thinking of my mom as Mother’s Day draws near. I know she is close to me even though she no longer walks this earth. I do miss her. There is not a day that goes by when I do not think about her. I wish things could have been different. I always wanted to ask her questions, but never got the opportunity.

Now I’m left with just what my memory can recall of my mom. I have very few pictures, but if I want to see my mom, I can look at myself. I know we were so much alike. This is one of the reasons, this music CD of Relaxing Spa Music exists and why I put this website together. It is my long lasting tribute to my mom.

Things We Do To Our Moms

Mothers Day Music Posted on April 3, 2016 by admin_mothersdaymusicApril 25, 2016

things we do to our momsMy mom always loved to plant flowers every spring. I often helped her because I loved the flowers then and I still do. Colorful plants always get my attention. It was always fun to see the plants come to life as the weather began to warm up from a cold winter.

One of the jobs that I took care of around our farm was keeping weeds sprayed down and cleaned out. We had sheep that did a good job in the outlying areas, but up around the house, it sometimes required some weed spray. I was careful though in not using too much spray and no more than absolutely needed.

As I was cleaning and pulling out weeds, I decided it was time to finish things off with a little weed spray. As I’m walking around the house, spraying weeds, I guess I had just kind of zoned out. I was in my own little world, not paying attention and lo and behold, I did the unthinkable.

Yep, you probably guessed right! Without realizing what I had done, I sprayed right over my mom’s flowers. They were just blooming nice and looking so pretty. Of course, it didn’t take too many days for them to really wilt and die. I was so embarrassed and I felt so bad, but I knew if I told the truth, I would be severely punished. In our house, my dad thought if you weren’t bleeding to death, you had not been punished enough.

I did one of the rare things I ever do and that is I told a little white lie. You see, the sheep often got out and sometimes they would get into the flower bed. So, I decided to blame the sheep by saying they had gotten out and got into the flower bed. Of course, I’m sure my mom figured it out, but she never said a word. I’m sure she was trying to protect me even though she had to be furious deep down inside.

As the days went by, the flower bed gave way to the weeds and I helped my mom pull out everything to get it ready so we could plant new stuff in there. It was the least I could do in my mind and I think my mom appreciated me helping. It was my way of admitting the truth without getting beaten to a bloody pulp by my father.

Years later when I was in college, I finally confessed. I knew that it was safe because if anything, I could run out of the house, jump in my car and be gone. My mom and I laughed about it then and those poor sheep got blamed for something they didn’t do. They and my mom together helped spare the wrath of my father, but I still felt so bad.

Whenever I see a nice flower bed, I can’t help but think of the things we do to our moms. They may be innocent, but our moms go through so much trying to raising us into young adults. They have so much patience and love for us or at least I know my own mom did. I loved her so much and I miss her now, but these memories still stick in my mind.

To make up for all the mischievous things you most likely did, why not see what things you can do on Mother’s Day to show love to your mom.

Mothers Day – Did You Know?

Mothers Day Music Posted on March 27, 2016 by admin_mothersdaymusicApril 25, 2016

Mothers Day Did You KnowFirst off, hopefully you know what the important date is and you’re prepared.  Yes, for 2016, Mother’s Day is May 8.  To make sure you don’t forget, go and mark that on your calendar right now.  I’ll wait.  Go ahead and mark it.

Ok, did you get it marked on your calendar?

You definitely don’t want to forget Mother’s Day because in my view, its one special day of the year.  I no longer have a mom alive, but I sure wish I did.  If your mom is still with you, then make sure you make it special for her.

You can check out the music on this site called “Relaxing Spa Music:  Mother’s Day” because it is some beautiful music your mom would love.  Available either as a download or as a physical CD purchase on Amazon.  Places like iTunes, Spotify and Amazon have it available among many others.

Did you know that over 35{b3fba13f0ed4bb2bc5399ea8cf40f6f761c2d9281c34ebff08aa1cf8ec5120b2} of adults buy flowers for their moms?  Flowers are beautiful and I’m not sure of a mom that wouldn’t enjoy them.  You could always help your mom plant some flowers in a garden or in a potted plant container.  It is interesting to know I think that approximately 25{b3fba13f0ed4bb2bc5399ea8cf40f6f761c2d9281c34ebff08aa1cf8ec5120b2} of the flowers purchased throughout the year are on Mother’s Day.

The other thing I find amazing is that more phone calls are made on Mother’s Day then any other day of the year.  Moms are pretty special.  Hopefully though, we aren’t waiting to give Mom a call only on Mother’s Day.  I know they love hearing from their children throughout the entire year.  In these days with cell phones, it really isn’t hard to give mom a call unlike it was many years ago.

Did you know that over $20 billion gets spent on mom on Mother’s Day.  I did not realize that and the number may have increased since I last saw this fact.  I know for a fact though that most moms just want to have their kids spend time with them.  Yes, the gifts are welcomed and the extra spa treatments or dinners can be very nice, but spending time with their kids is probably at the top of their list.

There are many more facts and trivia I have listed on this site.  Some of them are eye opening and others are interesting.  If nothing else, it will make you look like you know something when you’re out with your friends.

Whatever you do, don’t forget Mother’s Day.  Please check out the music I created and the story behind “Relaxing Spa Music: Mothers Day“.  I think you’ll enjoy it too.

Massage Music For Mom on Mothers Day

Mothers Day Music Posted on March 24, 2016 by admin_mothersdaymusicApril 25, 2016

Massage Music Mothers DayOne of the things that most moms go through is constantly being busy.  There are always things to do from keeping the house in order to taking the kids to some place they need to go or shopping and preparing meals for the days ahead.

I remember my mom doing just about everything in the house.  My dad would help out occasionally, but he thought that us kids were meant to be the labor.  My two brothers had to be hauled into the kitchen to help out it seemed.  I, on the other hand, readily wanted to help my mom.

After all, my mom worked a full time job, often taught Sunday school and kept the finances in order, the house cleaned, laundry done, meals prepared and always made sure we had our school work done, and so forth and so on the list continues.  If she didn’t have stress in her life, I would be surprised.

So many moms like mine are over worked, over stressed and have little time to relax.  I don’t remember my mom ever getting a massage from anyone.  In those days, it was not that popular or readily available as far as I know.  My mom tried to relax by taking walks or sitting out on the porch in our house in the country just taking a few moments to stop for the day.

I wish I could have had massage music for my mom because maybe it would have helped her relax some more.  It might not have been an actual massage, but maybe the music could have helped her drift off to a moment of relaxation.

Massage Music is one of the best selling songs I have and it is not only great as a Mother’s Day Gift, but the entire CD is perfect for Mom all year long.  If you haven’t checked out the music, there is a mini music player in the upper right side of the page that gives you a taste of some of the music.

I hope you will agree with me that your mom, like my mom, is probably over worked and deals with more stress in a day than most of us.  Why not give your Mom something on Mother’s Day that will help her relax today and in the days ahead?  Give her the gift of Relaxing Spa Music: Mothers Day.
