Mother's Day Ideas

Mother's day is coming up in a flash, and it's time to start planning something special for your mother! She's the person who has always and will always be there for you, and who would do anything for you. She deserves something special for Mother's Day! I have thought up 5 special and fun ideas that you can do for/with your mother for Mother's Day.

1. Girls night IN.
Rent a movie, make popcorn and binge out on junk food Gilmore Girls style.  It will be great bonding time and a lot of fun, and also just a time to take a break from your busy schedules and relax. Maybe give each other mani-pedis and try out some new facials.

2. DIY something for her.
Mother's like gifts that really show that you care. A store bought gift that is well thought out and picked just for her can of course express that you care, but one of the best ways to show her is to DIY something. It'll show her that it was worth it to you to take the time and effort to create something that she'll really like. Alternatively you could get the supplies and make something together! Here are some of my favorite DIY projects that your mother will love: 1 // 2 // 3

3. Make a day if it.
Take her out to brunch, go see a movie, do some shopping. Maybe even let her pick out her own gift?

4. Tea party or picnic.
What's better for Mother's day than a cute lunch? You can go all out with decorations and food or just lay a blanket out in the sunshine and enjoy some quality time together. Or, if your going with tea party, dress up all fancy and drink tea out of your nicest china. (I'm not 100% sure why I added these into one bullet point, it just felt right.)

5. Have dinner together.
Instead of going out somewhere to eat, why not try your hand at a new fancy recipe that you could cook together? You can pick out a recipe together and head to the grocery store to pick out all the ingredients. Then go home and get cooking! It'll be a fun time that you can spend with your mom, and when you're through you'll have a delicious homemade meal that you'll get to enjoy together!

Maybe you've sensed a pattern here. Almost all of these ideas involve spending time with your mom rather than a gift! The bottom line is, your mom likes spending time with you! You mean the world to her and it would make her so happy if you just take some time to really show her that you care about her and do something that shows her that you like spending time with her too.
I hope these ideas help you and your mom to have a fabulous Mother's Day!
