Mother's Day has come and gone, but why do we need a holiday to celebrate Mother's Day? Shouldn't we be celebrating Mother's Day more than once a year?

Although I'm not a mom, I sure approach everyone who is....it's a tough job that is often taken for granted. So, instead of waiting all year long to show your thanks, try doing a little something nice throughout the year. One idea, is to give mom a new picture frame with a different picture every month. This way you're reminding her of a fun memory or someone special and giving her a little something fun to brighten her day. Picture frames are perfect because they don't have to be expensive and can add a nice decorative touch to any home or office.

So, to give you some ideas to get started with your 12 months of special memories....let's start off with May since that's officially the start of the year long Mother's Day celebration.

May

In May, you generally think of spring and flowers so consider giving a flower picture frame. These frames range in style from colorful flower picture frames with jeweled flowers to subtle patterns of flowers accenting a frame. Flower frames are great for any mom who loves flowers and wants a unique frame to display on a table or dresser.

June

With June comes the beginning of summer, so we often think of bright colors full of fun and joy. For this fun and cheerful month, think about a bright and cheerful color like yellow, orange or pink. If your mom loves bright colors consider the warmth of some sunshine yellow picture frames. You can find them in almost any tone from rustic yellow to pale yellow in just about any style from a tailored silver plated enamel to a chic distressed style.

July

Patriotic red, white and blue is the first thing that comes to mind with the thought of July. But if patriotic red, white and blue doesn't fit with your decor, try going with a striking blue picture frame.  There are so many gorgeous shades of blue, it all depends on the color that best suits your Mom. Perhaps you want the blue to match her eyes, or to mirror the sky or the ocean...so no matter what blue you want you'll easily find it at www.yourpictureframes.com.

August

I'm not sure if August brings thoughts of heat, but where I live August is nothing but hot. So, if your mom loves the warmth of August, then consider the warm tones of some bright orange picture frames and match the glow of a beautiful summer sunset. Just be careful with orange because it's not everyone like the color or finds it go with their home decor. If orange isn't a good color for your mom, consider other colors like green, brown or even a natural wood tone.
