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.
母亲节即将到来，无论你是一位新妈妈，即将过你第一个母亲节，还是一个有经验的母亲，5月8日星期天是你的特殊节日。
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.
因为这是一个个人假日，所以你计划自己庆祝这个节日是明智的。对于一些母亲，她们希望利用这一整天来睡觉和放松——这一天只是21世纪妈妈们躲避忙乱和具有挑战性的生活。
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，我们总在寻找新的方式表达对妈妈们为丰富我们生活所做一切的感激之情。随着越来越多的妈妈增强环保意识，为什么不给妈妈们一份环保礼物？这同样也是对大地的尊重。
Here are a few green gift suggestions that will last long after Mother’s Day has passed and make mom feel really special.
以下是一些绿色礼物的建议，即使母亲节过了也能持久让妈妈感觉很特殊。
* 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.
如果你妈妈不是绿色革命的一员，还在使用难闻的家用清洁用品，为了表达你对她和家庭健康的关心，给她一桶无毒的清洁产品。包括一张自制卡片写着要帮她做家务。
* 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.
纵容妈妈尽情享受有机浴，有机护发和有机护肤品。阿瓦隆有机物是一系列合理标价的个人护肤产品，使用100%可循环材料并由100%素食配料制成——不含苯甲酸酯，人工色素，香料或防腐剂。
