5 Ways to Make Mother’s Day Extra Special (and last beyond that one day)
Mother’s Day is here and you may have already purchased your mom the best gift ever! Or you may have plans with her to make her breakfast in bed and bring her flowers. Celebrating Mom should likely last more than a day. There’s ways that you and your mom can create lasting memories together. Here’s ways to show you care that make for special times together. The best part is that Mother’s Day lasts throughout the year with these ideas.
Create a Mother-Child Bucket list together
You and your mom can noodle about and decide on an activities list. The list can include going on a road trip together, cooking a family recipe, or learning a new hobby. Add dates to when you want to plan your activities to be sure you get these checked off.
Volunteer for a cause together
Your mom and you both have generous spirits and are passionate about making a difference. Choose a way to give back together that makes a difference locally or globally. It can be one big volunteer experience or a routine activity.
Read the same book at the same time
Want to be in the best book club? Join a book club together or create one of your own. It’s twice as fun to read and review together. You can also listen to the book on Audible.
Meet for lunch monthly
A gift of time can be the best gift. Set a time each month to meet for lunch without any distractions or additional guests. Alone time with Mom is precious.
Organize photos together
Mom has buckets, drawers and boxes of photos. She may be overwhelmed by them all. It’s more fun to organize together! Gather up supplies for paper photos and grab your devices for digital photos. Guaranteed you will not only have fun, you will learn a lot about family memories!
Create a memory for Mom
There are many of us without a mom. Even without Mom here, we can create a memory about her. For our family, that memory often includes eating a special food Mom loved or lighting a candle in her memory. Choose a way to honor your family members who have passed. It’s a memory you create for all of your family.
More ways to celebrate Mom and share the love here!
I’ve done the “read the same book” thing with both my Mom and my daughters. It is always more fun to read a book when you can talk about it. We are always recommending “good reads” for each other – great idea!
I love this! Moms love to be connected all year long!
I remember the first Mother’s Day I celebrated as a new mom with my mom. It was so special. Our first daughter was only 11 days old, and it was an incredible feeling to join the ranks of the “mother’s” club. Since then many other Mother’s Days were celebrated- sometimes with my Mom and sometimes just with our daughters. It’s a day I enjoy to appreciate and be appreciated.
I love all of the special ways you suggested to celebrate with our mothers.
Such a precious memory! It’s a wonderful day to be together!
