How To Make This Mother’s Day One To Remember
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, which means you and the kids need to sit down and think of the best way to make this one to remember. After all, mothers make so many sacrifices for their children, so they deserve a special day to honor their commitment to raising a perfect family. If you’re stuck trying to think of the perfect way to surprise your partner and the mother of your kids, don’t fret. Below, we’re going to cover how to make this Mother’s Day one for the history books.
Breakfast in bed
She’s usually the one who’s up first filling bowls with cereal, making pancakes, or cutting up fruit. Give her a day off and surprise her with breakfast in bed. Let the kids partake and help make some of her favorite breakfast treats. Make sure you have a breakfast bed tray for her to eat comfortably. Some amazing breakfast in bed recipes include:
● French toast and sausage
● Strawberry, blueberry, and chocolate chip pancakes
● Cinnamon rolls
● Avocado toast with pickled onions and carrots, chia seeds, and pomegranate seeds
● Her favorite muffins, such as lemon poppyseed, blueberry, or orange-cranberry
● A bowl of fresh fruit
● Oatmeal
However, if breakfast isn’t her favorite meal or you’re not the best chef, consider booking a reservation for brunch. Mother’s Day brunches will be served all over town, so make sure you book well in advance to her favorite spot to eat.
Shower her with gifts
While gifts aren’t necessary to express your love for the mom in your life, they do make her feel extra special. This Mother’s Day, go out of your way to find thoughtful gifts that will make her heart melt. Mother’s Day flowers are always a great choice. This tried and true gift will fill her heart and home with joy. Make sure to pick a bouquet with her favorite blooms and colors to reflect her personality.

Flowers aren’t the only gift, though. There are plenty of routes you can take when it comes to finding the perfect gift for your kids to give their mom. Some options include:
● Decadent chocolate covered strawberries
● Chocolate gift baskets
● Weekend getaway to the mountains or beach
● Dinner to her favorite restaurant
● A book by her favorite author
Treat her to an at-home spa day
If you want to plan the perfect Mother’s Day, you can’t go wrong with gathering the kids to treat her to an at-home spa day. Have your kids make their own “coupons” for free massages. Fill a bath with warm water, a bath bomb, and some rose petals. Light some scented candles, turn on an essential oil diffuser and allow her to play her favorite playlist.
Once she’s done, surprise her with her favorite colored nail polish. Depending on the steadiness of your or your children’s hands, surprise her with her very own mani/pedi! After all this much-needed R&R, she’ll be truly appreciative of you and the kids.
Gather the entire family
There are multiple inspiring mothers in your life. Once your partner has had her perfect day, top it off with a surprise get-together at your house. Invite her mom, your mom, sisters, aunts, dads, brothers, cousins, and grandparents. This will be a truly special time for everyone to honor the hard-working mothers who will bend backward for their children.
