• Have a Picnic
This year, instead of having your Mother’s Day dinner at home, why not take it outdoors? You can have a great picnic anywhere, even in your own yard! All you need is a great menu and a prime picnic spot, such as a local park. Great options to pack in your picnic basket include sandwiches, salad, and plenty of lemonade.
• Enjoy High Tea
Does your mom like to feel pampered? Treating her to a traditional British-style “High Tea” is a great activity for Mother’s Day. Don’t have any options near you? Have a special Mother’s Day tea party at home! Bring out the fine china and serve pots of tea, little sandwiches, and plenty of tea cookies for a truly authentic experience.
• Give Her a Break
This Mother’s Day, why not give her the day off? You can spend the whole day doing her chores. Things like preparing several days’ worth of meals, thoroughly cleaning the house, and running a few of her errands will go a long way to helping her feel appreciated and loved.
