What to Do on Mother’s Day?
Mother’s Day is all about making moms feel special. Spending a fun and enjoyable day together is one of the best gifts a mother can have. Here are some tips and ideas for a memorable day together:
Go Roller Skating
Rollerskating can be associated with teenage and careless afternoons after school. Why not experiencing it allover again? Spending an afternoon on roller skates might not be a best option for grand mothers, but definitely worth considering for active families. To make it a hassle-free time for moms, husbands and children should prepare all the basics like ensure that proper equipment are available. Since moms and wives are usually the ones in charge of the family during trips and other outdoor activities, this is the time to let them take the backseat and have a fun time.
Go On a Shopping Spree
A real act of love from a husband is taking the mother of his children on a shopping spree. The idea is not just paying for her purchases, but spending some time together. Taking care of the children or arranging a babysitter, carrying her bags and waiting with patience when she tries some clothes on are all lovely gifts that a husband can give to his wife.
Take a Trip to Zoo
This is a perfect idea for moms with kids of varying ages. Kids will definitely be enthralled by the fascinating animals while mom can enjoy a day with nature. A day trip to some place uncommon is a great way to break the daily routine. However, when the destination is somewhere near (like the local zoo) the budget and arrangements can be kept on a reasonable level. The family members should keep in mind that this is the day for the mother: therefore no bickering or quarreling is allowed during the trip. Children can also prepare a picnic with traditional cards and flowers.
Go Swimming Together
Aside from writing poems for mom and preparing a brunch for her on Mother’s Day, another good idea is to go on a swimming trip. Some moms don’t have time to workout because of their hectic schedules so make Mother’s Day a time when she can relax, exercise, and have fun. Public pools are affordable alternatives to beach resorts. After the exercise moms can be taken to restaurant or on a picnic prepared by husband and children.
Whatever activity you choose to do on Mother’s Day, make sure to bring the camera to capture all those precious moments. In case she is still using an old camera, maybe it’s time to also give her a user-friendly digital camera and a new scrapbook as gifts.
