A SIMPLE PLAN FOR MOTHER’S DAY GIVING MOM REST, FUN, AND KEEPSAKES
Mother’s Day is one of those holidays that can sneak up on you. Many of us have had to Google Mother’s Day ideas the night before and hope brunch will be enough. While you don’t want to wait until the last minute to plan, you don’t need to stress over the holiday. If asked, many moms would probably say the same thing about what they want: a little rest, some help, and to feel like someone sees how much they do. One simple way to give Mom what she wants this year is to think about the day in three parts. Start with a gentle beginning, then pick one shared thing to do together, and finish with a small keepsake she can hold onto later. The “soft landing” in the morning sets the tone. Some moms want to sleep in for an hour with zero kid noise. Others like a slow breakfast with everyone at the table. You
don’t need a perfect spread. Just some toast, fruit, and coffee (that she didn’t have to make!) can go a long way. If she’s tired, give her time to read, take a bath, or sit with a face mask while someone else handles dishes, pets, and doorbells. Next comes the part you do together. For that, choose something she would enjoy doing, not just an activity that keeps the kids busy. If the weather is good, head outside for a picnic, hike, or family bike ride. Indoor activities can include a simple family game day, a movie marathon, or a family cooking class. Just be sure she’s not the one left to clean up the mess! For the keepsake, keep it personal. A handwritten note from the kids will mean much more than a scented candle. You can even turn it into a creative activity. Everyone
could sit down together for a family scrapbooking session or a painting party. Another fun idea is to create a “reason why I love mom” jar filled with handwritten notes from family members. With a little planning and a focus on appreciation, you can make the day feel special without adding more work to her plate.
