1. Mother’s Day Brunch

Let your mom wake-up to the smell and crackling of fresh bacon, and her favorite breakfast- whether it’s chocolate chip sour cream muffins or Eggs Benedict served with a mimosa and tray of fresh flowers and her favorite book, your mom will love her day lounging in bed! Or if you want to make it a family occasion, celebrate with a brunch outside! Invite the entire family over; Grandpa, Grandma, Aunts & Uncles, you name it!

2. Picnic At The Park

Pack your favorite picnic food with a large enough blanket for the entire family to picnic on! Pick a spot next to the water- don’t forget to bring some extra bread to feed the ducks!

3. Family Bike Ride

Whether you have your own bikes or want to rent bikes at your local park or bike store, spend the day as a family riding the trails around your city!

Pull out the red wagon and head over to your local farmer’s market or hardware store for fresh flowers. Your family will love enjoying the warm fresh air, while playing in the dirt together!

6. A Day At The Beach

If you live close to a beach, pack the goggles, suntan lotion, umbrella and chairs for a relaxing day at the beach! You could even bring the volleyball or Frisbee if you feel like burning some extra calories! A day at the beach is always among favorite mother’s day activities if you happen to have one within driving distance.

7. Mother/Daughter Spa Day

Book a luxury day at the spa for your mother and you! If that’s too pricey, opt for a DIY manicure and pedicure served with a mimosa, your mom will love a day of relaxation.

8. Mother’s Day Game-Marathon

Bring out your mom’s favorite board games and cards for an entire family gaming marathon! Your day will be full of laughs and memories you’ll never forget.

9. Girly Movie Day

Watch all those cheesy romantic movies with her that she never gets to watch.  Think Notebook, Jane Austin movies, Downtown Abbey, etc.

I bet your mom would love to rehash old memories and make a scrapbook together!

    We painted some cute homemade Mother’s day cards this week. My favorite is the foot print butterfly. It was easy to make and my youngest son enjoyed painting. I always put an old towel or newspaper down before I let them paint at the kitchen table. Not only is painting fun and relaxing, it actually helps kids develop creativity and fine motor skills. Thank you for sharing all of these ideas. I hope you have a Happy Mother’s Day.
