BellaOnline Forums Family Moms Mothers Day and Your Mom

If your mother is still alive, do you do anything for her or with her for Mother's Day? What types of things do you like to do?

I like to go to dinner with my Mom. That way I give her the gift of time, we enjoy our time together, and I don't clutter herself with unwanted "stuff".

Lisa,
I have agree with you. I ask my adult chldren not to "buy" me a gift. But, spend some quality time with me. One tradition my daughter and I try to keep is..we cook a mother's day dinner together. This is her first mother's day..it should be fun to have an 11 month old cooking with us..lol

Hi,

I have been absent for a while because of a serious car accident. However, I am struggling really hard to get back on track and thought I would post to the forum first!

Lisa, your topic on Mother's Day is thought provoking, for sure! I love to have time with my kids--that is the most precious gift. Material things don't matter, although I must admit that I enjoy flowers, but they can be picked from a garden or the side of the road. I don't need anything expensive.

I have a Mother's Day BBQ at my house every year. We invite both of our parents and all our siblings. I give every mom a little gift, such as a flower or homemade goodies. Each of our moms and grandmas get bigger gifts, like a weekend spa trip or maid service for 3 months.

Annie - I love the maid service idea! You are giving them a present, and they get a cleaner house too! Talk about perfect!

Hey, I'm with Lisa on that maid service!!! That would be a GREAT gift!!!!

A Great gift for Mom can be both...co-incidence, I just wrote an article about giving a good read as a gift and then sharing coffee and cookies and a gossip about the book after you've both read it!

I'm with Lisa too-good experiences like that are to treasure.
