Day Trip

Why not plan a day trip for mom to some place she’s been wanting to go? Maybe it’s to a museum exhibit she’s been wanting to see, or a hike on her favorite mountain. Pick something she either loves to do or has been talking about wanting to do. You could also plan a day out with her girlfriends, maybe to a movie and lunch or a day at the spa. Maybe she just wants the house to herself and you arrange a day trip for the kids. The key is to plan all the details for a day she’ll enjoy and doesn’t have to worry about any of the planning.

Weekend Getaway

Maybe mom needs a whole weekend, not just a day! Most moms are notorious for putting themselves last on the list so planning an entire weekend just for her is sure to be appreciated. Decide what kind of getaway is best: family, romantic, or just mom going someplace to relax! If you are planning a romantic getaway, make arrangements for the kids well in advance so she doesn’t have to stress about it. Maybe the whole family is due for a fun outing to the new resort at the beach or in the mountains. Whatever it is, make it about mom. She deserves some R and R!

If you aren’t sure what to do for mom this year, ask her how she’d like to spend a whole day dedicated to her. If you can’t get an answer from her, start paying attention to what she says. She’s bound to throw out something she’s been dying to do. It’s doesn’t have to be a big production, it just has to be thoughtful! Happy Mother’s Day!
