If I was with my mom this special day, it would be wonderful.
I don't get to see my mom, but if I was with her, I'd wake up and make her breakfast and then just hang out having a bible study or whatever fun discussion. Maybe even go through old photos so she can laugh at my tushie :)
We might stop somewhere for a quick to go lunch and then walk on the beach with our feet in the water, find a tree to sit under and watch people. Yes watching people is quite the entertainment :)
I'd either want to cook her dinner or if I can afford it, get her all dressed up and take her to a fancy fmancy restaurant :)
Then to a movie whether home or theatre. It will always be here choice of where she wants to be.
But I'd spend the day, just hanging out with my mom. And it would be wonderful, just because I'm with her, sharing her life.
Do you do anything special with your mom on the special day?
Do you just send a card? Flowers or go hang out with her?
What's your favorite thing to do with your mom?
And if I'm going to give her flowers, she'd definitely be getting orchids :)
I"m an orchid girl.
Here are 7 date ideas to do with your mom
1 Splurge
If you can afford to get a hotel booked for the day, then do so and both of you enjoy the pampering and amenities
2. Beauty Walk
If the hotel wont work out, then book a spa day and enjoy being pampered.
3. Nature Walk
If you love the outdoors then go for a picnic. Begin with a hike, run, enjoy either the sunrise or sunset or both together. If it's a hot day and you can end with a beach dip, then yay!
4. Faith Walk
Find a church or just a special time to discuss your spiritual journey together. This can be combined with your picnic or spa day.
5. Money Walk
Go shopping. What is more fun! Even if it's window shopping. Buy something if you can. Try on outfits you would never think of buying.
Go home and soak those tired feet in home baths and have dessert and tea together.
6. Food Walk
Cook something together and enjoy it!
7. Fun Walk
Find music at home or away and dance. Just dance!
However you celebrate, just remember it is not about the gifts and the media hype. It's about sharing precious time and thought with the mother God has given you.
So go ahead and plant new and good memories!

This is a nice post. I rarely see my mom, she is in another state. But if I did, she'd like a dinner out and to see her grandkids. Both make her happy. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosey.
DeleteDefinitely the grandkids. She'd probably leave me for later just to see her little loves :)
I feel so sad that she doesn't get to see them.
I always see my mom on Mother's Day because it always falls around my birthday too (May 13th) - and often Mother's Day IS my birthday date too. This year she will come up for the whole weekend and watch the kids Friday night so hubby and I can have a date night. Then I am taking her out to a Mother's Day Social Gala at my church on Saturday. Sunday will be breakfast - made by our spouses! - church and then probably a nice walk after lunch. Just a nice relaxing day - maybe some time in my garden. It's always a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteRory, I'm so very glad you get to enjoy such precious times with your mother! This sounds wonderful and I know you made good memories!
DeleteThanks for sharing.
Great ideas that any mom would be delighted to be presented to her on her special day; very nice post.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dan! :)
DeleteI love the ideas. My mom isn't much for walking, so I'd probably share a meal and maybe get a little spa treatment with her.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful time, whatever you decided to do Laura.
DeleteThank you.
According to my Mom it is a tradition that I take her to The Outback! I asked if there was anywhere else she wanted to eat after I drive her around for all her "errands"-Nope-she wants The Outback and Steak!
ReplyDelete:) Sometimes a good steak is what one needs eh :)
DeleteGoing out to lunch or I guess getting a pedicure together. I might do that this year!
ReplyDeleteSpending any time together is always good for the soul.
DeleteEnjoy! :)
My mother is not close to my home.. i was thinking about hopping on a plane and surprising her, but that was way to expensive.. ill send her something..
ReplyDeleteMy mother is like yours. Away.
DeleteI got the blessing to be with her this Mother's Day and it's the best ever!
My mom actually just likes to sit there and chat so that's what I would do with her. She's as happy as can be with visits like that.
ReplyDeleteThat is what my mother and I had this week. Just enjoying our chats.
DeleteI don't live near my mom, but I'll make sure to call her and wish her a Happy Mother's Day. In the past, we always went to church together and lunch afterwards.
ReplyDeleteAll love is appreciated :)
DeleteThank you for sharing with me Elisebet.
I love to just hang out in the kitchen and talk with my mom all day
ReplyDeleteThose are good times! I wish I had more of those.
DeleteThank you for sharing Debi.
I'm also an orchid girl. We like to cook for my mom. She is an awful cook so she likes it too. haha
ReplyDeleteHaha that is too funny!
DeleteI'm glad she is a good sport about it :)
I'll be honest that I don't really want to do anything for mothers day. I will get my mom something, but I'm not even up for the party I have to go to at my parents house.
ReplyDeleteThere is always a reason for everything, including your feelings. I hope they change and you had a lovely time! *HUG*
DeleteYou are such a wonderful daughter. Wow, I wish I was your Mom we would have a blast! hehehe Alas, my Mom is in Mommy heaven. My mother loved to go shopping and out to eat. Guess that's what we would do or she also loved all her family around her we would probably have a great big dinner at her house of course and we would do all the cooking and clean up duty and of course presents and cake afterwards. She loved that too... ooops and the most important thing lots of kisses and hugs. So here's a xxx and a hug ooo for Mother's Day. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Dear sweet Callie! I am so happy to be your friend. hugzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteThank you Dolly! *HUGS* I'm sorry you'll be missing your mom, but I know you'll also have memories to cherish and children to remind you of the feeling of being loved.
DeleteHope you had an amazing Mothers Day with your kiddos..
ReplyDeleteBroxton and I went to lunch and have been hanging out the rest of the time
Thank you Noelle.
DeleteIt was a fantastic time! So glad you and your little love got time to hang out!
My mother lives in another state, but I call her each Mother's Day, make her special card, and send her flowers. For myself, I prefer it when my family keeps the day low-key, a call, a text, a card, ... DH took treated me to a burger & fries from Five Guys because he knew I wanted one, and afterwards two scoops of ice cream from Baskin Robbins. It was a lovely day well spent!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoy a low key time with your loves.
DeleteThank you for sharing Cathy.
I miss having a mom :-( Happy belated mother's day to you.
ReplyDelete*HUGS*
DeleteThank you Amanda.
