There\u2019s nothing more important to a mother than the health and safety of her family. While there won\u2019t likely be brunches out, trips to the spa, or visits with extended family this year, I promise that won\u2019t matter to her. You don\u2019t need to worry if you didn\u2019t get to shop for that perfect gift or go to the florist to get her fresh flowers. Spending time with family at home, over Zoom or Facetime or text message will be all that matters to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some suggestions for fun Mother\u2019s Day activities you can partake in safely, at home, with little expense.  Enjoy your time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 Things to Do on Mother\u2019s Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a Garden Together<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Springtime is a great time to start a garden. Zinnias, marigolds and sunflowers make good choices if you\u2019d like to plant seeds. Good bulb options include dahlias and begonias if you\u2019d like to cultivate bulbs together. Or, if Mom loves to cook, consider adding an herb garden just for her!<\/p>\n\n\n

Get Baking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bread, cookies, cake, pie\u2014there\u2019s nothing like getting together in the kitchen to crack some eggs and mix up some favorites. How about creating a pizza together with Mom\u2019s favorite toppings? Some comfort food and fun preparing it makes a great Mother\u2019s Day gift.<\/p>\n\n\n

Create a Photo Album<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sit down with Mom and go through those old pictures. She\u2019ll love taking time to reminisce about different events, trips and milestones captured in photos. Create a special photo album she can always cherish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put Together a Puzzle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Start with the frame first or just go for whatever pieces come together. It’s a great way to spend time and have a good chat. Put on some music she likes and let Mom choose the puzzle. Hang in there if she wants to go for a picture with 1000 pieces or more!<\/p>\n\n\n

Plan a Special Toast to Mom<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mix up a mojito or pour her favorite drink in a fancy glass and celebrate Mom with some special words of tribute. Poems, stories and straight up praise all work well!<\/p>\n\n\n

Get Out the Yoga Mats<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Meditation, relaxation and some gentle stretches are great ways to spend some quality time with Mom. Fill her water bottle, grab her a towel and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Dinner Together<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like working in the kitchen together. Get slicing, chopping and mixing with Mom as you whip up some of her favorites. Chat and catch up. Play some music she likes. Light a candle for a warm glow. She\u2019ll love it and have a wonderful meal to look forward to and an even more wonderful memory.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sing Some Karaoke<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whether Mom is a crooner or not, become her captive audience and host a family karaoke party. The whole family can sing along to Mom\u2019s favorites. Microphones are not needed. A simple hairbrush will do if she\u2019d like a prop to sing in to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch a Movie Together<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Let Mom select the flick and settle in together in the living room<\/a>. Grab her a throw blanket and make some popcorn just the way she likes it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Let Mom Sleep In<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Make sure Mom doesn\u2019t set her alarm. Keep things as quiet as you can and let her extend her hours of slumber. Maybe get some breakfast going while she catches some extra Zs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to go out and shop to make Mother\u2019s Day special. Enjoy these fun Mother\u2019s Day activities at home with the ones you love.<\/p>\n
