It's no surprise that Sunday is Mother's Day. Motherhood's hard labour, commitment, and joy are celebrated worldwide on Mother's Day. Moms keep the world going by driving the carpool to soccer practice, working extra hours to save for college, or sneaking you a cookie before dinner. They deserve thanks for their (sometimes overlooked) hard work!

Oftentimes, the best way to say thank you is to reflect on some of your favourite memories with your mom and appreciate the relationship you have together. We went around the 24/7 Local Pest Control office this week and asked our Joes to share some special activities and memories with moms that always bring a smile to their faces.

“Baking cookies with her and having her attend my sporting events. And in recent years, watching her play with my kids.” Kevin Wilson, CEO

“One of my favorite memories with my mom would be walking around the zoo. When I would get out of kindergarten, I would run to my mom’s car, and off the the zoo we went! We’d walk around for hours, looking at animals. To this day, it is one of my favorite things to do with my mom.” Kyle Jones, Graphic Designer

“Every time I tell my mom ‘I love you’, she says ‘I love you more’. Just a sweet little thing she and her mom used to do that she’s passed on to us.” Bridget Cardillo, Digital Marketing Manager

“My favorite memory was rollerblading in the park with my mother on Sunday afternoons after we were finished with our chores.” Barbara Sisino, Franchise Business Coach

“With our busy lifestyles it’s easy to let days and sometimes weeks go by without talking. About four years ago, we started talking each morning on my commute to work. I value that time, it’s a great way to start my day, and it’s one of my favorite things to do with my mom.” Denise Morris, VP of Local Operations

“One of my best memories is when we were back in California. My mom would take me to a donut place called Welches and she would get me a chocolate milk with crushed ice. Always felt my mom’s love.” Jake Vinluan, Franchise Business Coach

“My favorite Mom memories are making our special Christmas cookies every year. To this day, it doesn’t feel like Christmas without those cookies.” Sharon Lerche, Operations Administrative Assistant

“Whenever she would get ready for a night out, I would sit and watch her put her makeup on. When she was all done and dressed we would sing together the song from West Side story, ‘I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty, and witty and gay’. It became something I passed onto my girls, and now my granddaughters do the same thing.” Denise Fields, Local Operations

Nothing says, “I love you, Mom” like the gift of a  mosquito-free yard. 24/7 Local Pest Control can help protect your mom while she spends time outside tending to the garden, hosting BBQs, playing with the kids, or whatever makes her happy.
