Looking for last minute ideas on how to pamper Mom the healthy way?

While flowers and cards are always welcome, there is so much more you can do for your Mom, or the Mother of your children or another special woman in your life. And it doesn't have to cost a fortune!

The best present of all is the gift of time and support. Consider concocting a nice Mother's Day Brunch. It doesn't have to be fancy, just a few nutritious ingredients that you prepare yourself (and don't forget to clean up after!!) What's important is not to rush things. Follow it up with a leisurely walk in your neighbourhood.

If hosting that brunch at home is not practical, choose a restaurant with healthy menu choices. Stay away from all you can eat buffets!

If you want to give a tangible present, how about a subscription to a healthy cooking magazine or a book of heart healthy recipes?  And if that significant Mom is into healthy lifestyle, she may appreciate a Yoga DVD, a gift certificate for a massage, a pedometer or a membership to a healthclub.  Even better, a joint membership that benefits both of you!

Whatever you give, let it be healthy and come from your heart. For healthy recipes, cookbook suggestions and other nifty ideas check out the following titles:
