DH keeps asking me what I would like (or like to do) for Mothers Day and I can't think of anything.
What will you be doing? Or getting (if you are getting a gift)?
-
Ours is pretty low key -
I asked DH and the kids to make me this
http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2016/04/diy-hanging-rain-gutter-planters.htmlThen off to Red Robin for lunch! I LOVE that place but my kids don't so we never go - on mothers day they suffer thru!
-
We're going to breakfast. Somewhere undecided as of yet. My mom will be here so we are ditching the baby with dad and getting our nails done
-
We always go to brunch with my mom and MIL somewhere nice.
In the afternoon, LO and I will then go to a tea held at this huge antiques market with fancy cakes and tea and go browsing/shopping maybe after.
-
We're going to a Mother's Day tea party hosted by LO's ballet school. They do short performances from various fairytales during the tea party and each table is themed from a different fairytale
-
I'm going to church. I might ask T to come with me and we might go out to eat as a family. I also am hinting for a pedicure, but that might be my present to myself.
-
This is my first mother's day. Is it odd for me to say I want to be surprised and I wouldn't want to tell DH what I want. I think my usual response is 'whatever'. (Oh, my love language is not receiving gifts... so maybe that's why.) Is this a FTM issue? I mean I guess next year, maybe I'll suggest somethings if he asks. My gift expectations for birthday is pretty low... Also, DH is pretty good at picking out gifts (he enjoys it). While I have a lot of trouble buying people gifts. I have thought of a few things for Father's day.
-
I have no idea! I just want to spend time doing something as a family.
-
We usually just eat... And DD is still young so it's still more focused on my mom, which is fine b/c she has been an amazing grandmother as well! It's weird that I still don't automatically think of celebrating myself when I think of Mother's Day!
-
Is it bad if I say that for mother's day I asked my husband to watch our son all weekend (without complaining) for me while I go visit my mother? I feel kind of bad that I won't be with my son (and husband), but GARTH BROOKS is coming to town and I got amazing tickets (4th row on Thursday night and 7th row elevated seating great location on Sunday night). We are making a whole weekend of it and getting massages and doing all kinds of shopping and getting my hair done. Its in a city a little over an hour away from me (where my mom lives). I get there fairly regularly, but usually have my son with me. So this time we are doing all the things we never get to do. I'm super excited for a weekend away and some pampering- especially since I'm due with #2 in 8.5 more weeks!
It makes it even worse when I admit that last year for mothers day, my husband and I both woke up puking so we called my mom and she came and picked up our son and brought him back to her house. So I didn't spend last mothers day with him either. I'm terrible.
-
I want a mimosa haha. Just having LO2 the other week, I've been looking forward to having my first alcoholic drink in over 9 months.
I also asked for a learning tower for LO1 but may not get that for awhile. A blender would also be nice to make smoothies for the family. -
We are going to brunch with my DD and parents. Then we are going to walk around the city. Saturday DHs family is doing a bbq.
-
I had requested a road trip day consisting of science museum, Ethiopian food, and outlet shopping. But my mom and brother will be here, so I'll see if that's the best choice for the group, or maybe we'll stay local.
-
@Dr. Pepper: I think that sounds like a great gift for you and your mom! I don't think your husband or son will worry, as long as you're happy on mother's day.
-
We talked about it the other day because we need to coordinate for MIL. And I'm sure BIL's GF wants too coordinate so she can spend time with her mom as well.
We're going to host a early brunch at our house. Then we're going to take the kids to a old school amusement park about an hour away. Then make a simple dinner at home!
No gifts!
-
Just bought myself a necklace with their initials. He'll usually get me spa certificates. We never go out to eat because it's packed everywhere!
-
We are going to my mom's house for lunch.
It's my first Mother's Day and my husband keeps asking me what I want, too. I guess I never really thought this was something I should give ideas of what I want for. I figured it was something that they figure out. You know, something meaningful? Am I crazy?
-
I asked DH to make me breakfast in bread. It was a tradition we did in our house and something I would like to carry on. DH is going to watch DS (they are going to visit his mom) and I'm spending the afternoon with my mom.
-
I asked for markers for the plants in my garden. I'm treating myself to a pedicure at some point in May. I wouldn't be surprised if I get some flowers, chocolate and a sweet card from my LO & DH too.
DH is rarely home weekends so I usually celebrate by taking my mom out and celebrating her.
-
I'm staying in a hotel room. ALONE. ALL ALONE. No snoring husband, no noisy dogs, and no waking up in the middle of the night to feed a baby. I haven't had a full nights sleep in over 9 months. IM SO EXCITED!!!!
(My bday is the day before moms day so it's a big gift!) -
My usual preference is to just do something as a family. This year I told DH new bbq tools. We just got a new bbq and I do most of the cooking on it so it would be nice.
-
@Portboston: when my kids are a bit older I'm going to do this, it sounds amazing! Enjoy!
All I want is sleep. Hopefully DH will give me a lie in.
-
@Portboston: oh my goodness have fun! I do this a couple times a month for work and it is heaven! Sleeping in, lounging in bed washing tv, face masks.... So nice to have a night to yourself. Enjoy!
We are going for brunch with my mom, MIL and DH'a sister and family. I love brunch!
-
Brunch out with family!
We are going to do a small gender reveal for the Grandmas at brunch, thinking a small cake or maybe DD can walk in with pink/blue balloons -
@travelgirl1: thank you I will!!!
@delight: DH travels for work once in a while so I convinced him that it was only fair that I get a night away since I don't have the opportunity to travel for work!
-
@Portboston: That sounds like heaven! LOL!
I don't think I'm doing anything.
I plan on surprising my Mom with the news that we're preggers though.
-
I get to spend all day with my son. I'll probably take him to the park or go for a run with him. DH is going to be out of the country on business, but I know he's already bought cards for me. I guess he probably bought a present, too. We'll see!
-
@Portboston: DH told me this morning that this is what he is thinking for my for Mother's Day too, though probably not actually do it next weekend. I feel a little funny because all I want for Mother's Day is time away from the people who make me a mother? But yes, I need some time away!!
He generally kind of sucks at gifts- my Christmas gift this year was the computer he said he was going to get me last year. I was supposed to get snow pants for my bday.., in January... Still waiting. So for him to have out this much thought in already is something.
-
DH makes a big breakfast and takes all the children downstairs so I can sleep in a little bit.
Then we go to a garden center and I pick flowers for my window boxes. I spend the afternoon planting.When I was growing up this was exactly what my mom wanted to do on mother's day and I thought she was weird... and then I became my mother.
-
Some girlfriends and I have decided to go out for pedicures on Saturday and follow it up with a ladies' night out. The pedicure will be my "gift" this year. I have 2 under 2 (DS is just 7 weeks), so I am READY for a night out sans kiddos!
-
Will go to church and then the zoo, I think!
-
@Foodnerd81: DH told me he thought it was a little backwards to spend time away from my family but I'm planning on checking in after dinner and him and LO will pick me up around 8 or 9. So I'll really only be gone while they're sleeping.
-
We usually host both sets of parents and my bro and his wife. Since I'm still on modified bedrest, we haven't made any plans this year. I imagine it will be a mellow day.
-
We are going to my friend's wedding the day before, so I am counting that as date night hahahaha. We are going to NYC the following weekend for my brother's college graduation so we will probably do something special then instead.
-
We usually just go out to brunch. I get my own gift if I want it.
-
Our first mothers day!
Celebrating this weekend because next weekend we will be in Georgia visiting DW's family. Cocktails and outlet shopping and DW surprised me with a David Yurman initial necklace with our son's initial (HUGE since she's not big into gifts!). -
We happen to be traveling anyway, but I don't expect anything special. I'd really just like a nap! Lol!
-
I would like us to spend some time together outside and plant a few veggies and herbs. We have been meaning to do it for several weeks and other things keep getting in the way!
-
Nope. I'm not sure DH even knows it's Mother's Day. It's not the kind of thing we make a big deal out of but he might have something up his sleeve yet!
-
I'm not sure DH knows it's Mother's Day. I would be happy with brunch somewhere though.
