Mothers! Stop right there, and hand off this list to your family. Do not read. This is a surprise!
Alright, now that the moms are gone, Mother’s Day is upon us. Here are 10 ways you and the kids can make her feel appreciated on her special day and all year long.
Mini-K Keurig
A single cup of coffee, tea or even hot chocolate can make any mom’s day run a little smoother. If Mom already has one, grab an assortment of her favorite inserts instead.
Breakfast in Bed
Team up with your child(ren) and conspire to make a breakfast spread for a mom still in bed. Kids can help with scrambling eggs, mixing pancake batter and sprinkling berries on top.
Spa Day
Spa days are a good way to get Mom to relax and get out of the house for an hour or two—which is especially handy if you need time to set up a surprise.
Chocolate
You can’t go wrong with chocolates.
Flowers
Involve the kids in this plan by letting them pick out which flowers they think Mom would like best.
Heartfelt Cards
The most memorable cards are the heartfelt, crayon-streaked ones, scrawled on folded construction paper. Make a card together!
Surprise Outing
Explore somewhere you’ve never been before! Celebrate Mom with new memories.
Family Picture Session
Take a snapshot to freeze the family in time. Even if you can’t schedule a photoshoot on Mother’s Day, book a photo session and present Mom the date card.
Sentimental Jewelry
A ring, bracelet or necklace with her child(ren)’s birthstone(s) is a beautiful reminder for Mom that her family is always with her.
Car Spruce Up
Take Mom’s car for a wash, and don’t be afraid to get your hands a little dirty cleaning up. Vacuum up those animal cracker crumbs (kids can hold the tube) and scrub that mystery stain! Then, make the exterior shine by taking it through the car wash.
