Mother’s Day is right around the corner and whether you are a new mother – celebrating your first Mother’s Day – or a seasoned pro, Sunday May 8 is your special day.
母親節即將到來，無論你是一位新媽媽，即將過你第一個母親節，還是一個有經驗的母親，5月8日星期天是你的特殊節日。
Because this is such a personal holiday, it is wise to plan your celebration around the individual. For some mothers, just sleeping in and relaxing all day is all they want – a day to just escape the hectic and often challenging life of a 21st century mom.
因為這是一個個人假日，所以你計劃自己慶祝這個節日是明智的。對于一些母親，她們希望利用這一整天來睡覺和放松——這一天只是21世紀媽媽們躲避忙亂和具有挑戰性的生活。
Nonetheless, we are always looking for new ways to show our mothers just how grateful we are for all that they do to enrich our lives. With more and more mothers becoming environmentally conscious, why not give the mom(s) in your life an eco-friendly gift that also respects Mother Earth.
但是，我們總在尋找新的方式表達對媽媽們為豐富我們生活所做一切的感激之情。隨著越來越多的媽媽增強環保意識，為什么不給媽媽們一份環保禮物？這同樣也是對大地的尊重。
Here are a few green gift suggestions that will last long after Mother’s Day has passed and make mom feel really special.
以下是一些綠色禮物的建議，即使母親節過了也能持久讓媽媽感覺很特殊。
* If your mom isn’t part of the green revolution and is still using harsh household cleaners, show her you care about her health – and the family’s health – by giving her a bucket filled with non-toxic cleaning products. Include a small homemade card offering to help her with the household chores.
如果你媽媽不是綠色革命的一員，還在使用難聞的家用清潔用品，為了表達你對她和家庭健康的關心，給她一桶無毒的清潔產品。包括一張自制卡片寫著要幫她做家務。
* Pamper Mom with a basket of organic bath, hair or skin care products. Avalon Organics carries a nice line of reasonably priced personal care products packaged in 100 percent recycled materials and made with 100 percent vegetarian ingredients – no parabens, synthetic colors, fragrance, or preservatives.
縱容媽媽盡情享受有機浴，有機護發和有機護膚品。阿瓦隆有機物是一系列合理標價的個人護膚產品，使用100%可循環材料并由100%素食配料制成——不含苯甲酸酯，人工色素，香料或防腐劑。
