It’s that wonderful time of year again, where we like to give our mothers a little extra attention and celebrate all they do for us. Mothers deserve the most every day, but here are some special things you can do for mother’s day this year – May 9th (Sunday)!
If you live with your mom or can meet with her safely (after taking necessary precautions!)
Cook together:
Cooking together or baking together is a great bonding activity! Even better is to cook up a family recipe to celebrate different generations and keeping traditions alive. Here are some ideas for what to make!
Make/design something:
Whether its crafting, redecorating your home, making little knicknacks, making or designing things together is always fun!
Watch mother-daughter movies:
Watching movies is always a great passtime, but there’s something special and sentimental about watching a mother-daughter movie on Mother’s day! Check out Buzzfeed’s list of 31 movies all mothers should watch with their daughters!
Plan a picnic:
Good food, fresh air, nice scenery, and the perfect setting to just sit and talk with your mom!
Breakfast in bed:
Everyone appreciates getting breakfast in bed. Cook up your mom’s favorite and serve her in bed!
Look through old photo albums together:
Mother’s day is the perfect time to whip out your old photo albums or scrapbooks and reminisce on all your memories together.
Have a at-home spa day:
With a pandemic going on and all, going out to a spa is probably not the safest thing. So why not pamper yourself at home? Set up a simple little spa for you and your mom!
If you’re living away from your mother and are unable to see her
Have a virtual brunch
Just because you can’t be together physically, doesn’t mean you can’t have a nice chat over a meal. Set up a video call and have nice foods in front of you to feel like you’re brunching together.
Send her a gift
Even if you can’t physically spend time together, your mom will for sure feel the love from getting a surprise present at her doorstep!
Make her a video
While you might not be able to look through a photo album sitting side-by-side, you can easily compile your favorite photos and clips together to make her a short video of your favorite memories together!
