Mom loves her kids drawings so those work too! Also a signature doesn't necessarily have to be something written it can be a finger print or a baby foot print. Be creative.

With older children something a little more complex is obtainable. Try doing an Acrostic With Mom's name and write out nice attributes about mom. Another thing that would do great is a signing of a promise. We all know the adage "Mom love hugs and mom loves kisses but what mom really likes is when you do the dishes." In this spirit a coupon or book of coupons in the card are a lovely addition. Home made cards in this Age group are highly prized because they took the time and effort into making them not just signing them. Dad get your kids together along with the crafting materials and see what you can come up with.

Perhaps your mother has a great sense of humor you can sign it using some bit if inside humor that is only funny to you and her.

In difficult relationships it can be harder when you are planning to give mother a card. A Stepmother or estranged mother may be harder to sing for and it's best to err on the side of civility. A small note of generic appreciation is all that is necessary. Don't beat your self up trying to say what you think someone wants to hear that you know you can never please. Just do your best that is good enough.
