No matter how you choose to celebrate this Mother’s Day, here are a few thoughtful ideas guaranteed to make Mom smile….
- Cook a Family Recipe – Every family has a recipe that gets passed down from generation to generation. Have fun digging through old recipe cards and make a dish together.
- Plan an impromptu getaway (day trip!) – Explore your own community. Take mom to a place she has always wanted to go but never had the chance. Have fun looking at shops or treating her to sweet treat!
- Help Tackle her to-do list – while some Mom’s would like to have time away from the house, others would love to opportunity to have a little help tackling some things she has wanted to do around the house but hasn’t had the time. Your help will go a long way!
- Encourage Self-Care – you could attend a yoga class together, or head to the spa. Spending a few hours to ensure your Mom is taking care of herself with you by her side will make her day!
- Flip through an old photo album – Taking time to remember memories and favourite moments will make the day super special, and even more meaningful.
- Bake something together – Love comes from baking, and they often say the heart of the home is in the kitchen. Spend time together and create something new the entire family can enjoy.
- Go antiquing – there is nothing more exciting than discovering a one of a kind vintage find.
- Spend time in her garden – visit a local nursery and have Mom pick up some new flowers or vegetables for her garden, then have fun planting them together.
- Breakfast in Bed – start the day off right, and surprise Mom with breakfast in bed! A tray full of her favourite breakfast goodies will bring a smile to her face.
- Tackle a home or décor project together – has Mom been wanting to take down wallpaper, re-paint the hallway, give the gift of your time and help her tackle one of her home projects for the day!
