A Day To Herself
When she wakes up Mother’s Day morning, present her your gift certificate filled with love. If you want to really impress her, ask a grown up to buy a book you know she’s been wanting to read. You could even present the book and coupon with a pretty cup or mug so she can enjoy her favorite beverage while she’s reading quietly. As for the “quiet” part – ask the grown up helping you to make sure you are kept busy as well as supervised so that mom doesn’t have to worry about anything the whole day long.
Family Time
If you think your mom would prefer spending time with the family instead of a quiet day alone, plan something fun your mom enjoys doing. She spends a lot of time making sure you are entertained and often will not do something she enjoys because she know you would enjoy doing something else better. Why not repay that kindness by planning a day of fun family activities that you might not ordinarily do?
Need some suggestions of what mom might like to do? Here are a few:
If your mom likes art, you could take her to the local museum. Many museums even have a place where you can enjoy lunch together.
If mom likes the outdoors, pack a picnic lunch and head to the park or trails.
Does mom like music? Take her to a concert with music from “when she was a girl.” Buy tickets for the whole family and go enjoy.
