Mother’s Day is May 8, 2016
Mom might tell you that being loved by her family is all she could ask for on Mother’s Day. But the fact remains, this is the one day of the year to celebrate Mom officially, so let’s make sure that this is an enjoyable and memorable occasion for Mom!
Short on ideas? Here are a couple of suggestions:
Fun at Home
Games:
Unite the whole family with a fun game or active and challenging pursuit on Mother’s Day. Gather around a lively board game, pair up on the tennis court or shout out the clues to her favorite crossword puzzle.
Crafts for Kids to Make:
A great way to keep the kids happy on Mother’s Day is to keep them busy making something for Mom.
Outings & Trips
Plan the Perfect Picnic:
Imagine a wild flower meadow, bright blue sky and a warm sunny afternoon. A family picnic may be just what Mom needs.
Mother’s Day Brunch or Dinner:
Mother’s Day brunches are very popular. Find restaurants in your area that offer a Mother’s Day brunch. Make reservations well in advance. Another thoughtful option is to take Mom out for a nice dinner in honor of Mother’s Day.
Schedule a Day-Trip:
Drive to a unique and creative destination with the whole family – a beach, hiking area, or nearby city. Alternatively, Dad could plan ways to add a touch of romance to the getaway – for example, showing the kids where he proposed to Mom.
