No matter how you choose to celebrate this Mother’s Day, here are a few thoughtful ideas guaranteed to make Mom smile….

 

  1. Cook a Family Recipe – Every family has a recipe that gets passed down from generation to generation.  Have fun digging through old recipe cards and make a dish together.

 

  1. Plan an impromptu getaway (day trip!) – Explore your own community.  Take mom to a place she has always wanted to go but never had the chance.  Have fun looking at shops or treating her to sweet treat!

 

  1. Help Tackle her to-do list – while some Mom’s would like to have time away from the house, others would love to opportunity to have a little help tackling some things she has wanted to do around the house but hasn’t had the time. Your help will go a long way!

 

  1. Encourage Self-Care – you could attend a yoga class together, or head to the spa. Spending a few hours to ensure your Mom is taking care of herself with you by her side will make her day!

 

  1. Flip through an old photo album – Taking time to remember memories and favourite moments will make the day super special, and even more meaningful.

 

  1. Bake something together – Love comes from baking, and they often say the heart of the home is in the kitchen. Spend time together and create something new the entire family can enjoy.

 

  1. Go antiquing – there is nothing more exciting than discovering a one of a kind vintage find.

 

  1. Spend time in her garden – visit a local nursery and have Mom pick up some new flowers or vegetables for her garden, then have fun planting them together.

 

  1. Breakfast in Bed – start the day off right, and surprise Mom with breakfast in bed! A tray full of her favourite breakfast goodies will bring a smile to her face.

 

  1. Tackle a home or décor project together – has Mom been wanting to take down wallpaper, re-paint the hallway, give the gift of your time and help her tackle one of her home projects for the day!
