Life gets hectic, especially when you're all grown up. Between jobs, families, and maybe even living far away, it's easy to forget to show Mom how much we love her. But this Mother's Day, why not ditch the fancy gifts and focus on what she really wants: quality time with you! Here are some activities throughout the day that you can do with/for your mom which is fun and gives you and your mom time to reconnect and chill:
Breakfast in Bed: The Queen Deserves a Feast, Skip the restaurant rush and pamper Mom with breakfast in bed! Whip up some fluffy pancakes with syrup or go for a classic sunny side up egg with toast. Don't forget a refreshing iced coffee (or tea!) to beat the heat and help her start the day feeling energized.
After breakfast, why not suggest a relaxing yoga class together? It's a fantastic way to bond and de-stress from the daily grind. Even if you're both beginners, it can be a fun way to laugh and create new memories.
After yoga, let Mom have the afternoon all to herself. Make up the bed with fresh linens (linen sheets are super comfy and breathable!) and let her enjoy some peace and quiet. She can curl up with a good book, catch up on her favorite Netflix show with a glass of wine, or simply take a well-deserved nap.
Once Mom's recharged, why not get back to the kitchen for some quality bonding time? Bake a batch of those classic chocolate chip cookies you used to make together as a kid. It'll be a fun trip down memory lane, and you both get to enjoy some delicious homemade cookies!
To end this perfect day, how about a special dinner date? Pick up a beautiful bouquet of flowers (tulips, sunflowers, or peonies are all great choices for summer!). You can both get dolled up for a fancy restaurant or keep it casual and head to your favorite local spot. The most important thing is spending quality time together.
This Mother's Day, ditch the stress and focus on creating beautiful memories with Mom. After all, the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart!
