Mother's Day Ideas - mom (Mylyne) approved

Many kids overthink what to get or give their moms for Mother's Day.  In reality, most moms including myself just want quality time and sometimes a break from the hectic schedule. As a mom, I feel that going to a restaurant is too blah I mean I can do that anytime with or without my kids.  Last year, I wanted a hedge trimmer and alone time.  I spent my "special day" working in my front yard with my red wine while the kids pulled the weeds for me.  Rob then served a nice steak dinner outside for all of us.  It was more than what I wanted!   

Here are some ideas I can think of.

1. Go to the movies

2. Have a spa day!  Mani-Pedi, facial, massage, whatever fits your budget

3. Cook her favourite dish.  Heck, make her a 5 course meal! Most restaurants will be busy anyway.  

4. BBQ at the beach/park (make sure you do all the work and treat her like queen)

5. Clean the house, make her breakfast

6.  Do some gardening, take her to the nursery and have her go nuts.

7.  Book a weekend getaway

8.  Take her boating, if she likes crabs you may as well go crabbing.  Groupon has made boat rentals affordable.

9.  Get her car detailed

10.  For young kids, make a video for your mom on how much you appreciate her and the things you like about her. 

Hope these help.... In the end, your effort counts.
