Ok so we all know the things we wish we were doing but what are you actually doing?
For me I will sleep in a little -
Lunch at Red Robin at 11am (with 2 little kids I have no desire for a fancy lunch)
Afternoon I will run out for a few hours alone and do some shopping and get a haircut
Dinner will be a picnic outside (my 6 yr olds request) followed by smores 
My mom and MIL are both out of state so I wont see them

I have church, but we have no plans for anything afterwards. We always play stuff like this by ear.

Hopefully sleeping in.
Then we will leave after lunch to head to my Aunt's house to spend the day with the whole family.

Also hopefully sleeping in. No family nearby, so I hope the 3 of us can just do something fun...but we haven't planned it yet.
The only tricky part is we are hosting a party the night before that is sure to go late and involve drinking for DH (not me, since I'm pregs), but he better still be able to wake up early with LO!

I will probably spend some of the day with my mom (with or without L, I'm not sure yet!). My husband is going to spend a portion of the day with his mother. Then we may all go to my MIL's for dinner.

Church and there is nothing else planned. My husband is really bad about Mother's Day. 
Usually we have an extended family get together but I haven't heard anything about that this year so it probably isn't happening. (We'll be with MIL that weekend but not the actual day.)

We are going to Asheville, NC for the weekend which is great, but on actual Mother's Day we will be driving home (4 hours) and unpacking. I'm sure we will see my mom that evening.

We have my in laws staying with us which includes my FIL, his GF, my SIL, her Fiance, and my almost 3 yo niece. Therefore, I won't be able to sleep in or have some fun family time in bed. While, I'm sure the guys will make breakfast, we'll have to cater more towards my FIL's GF food issues and my SIL who tends to make everything about her. So basically, not looking forward to the morning. But as long as I can take a nap when DS naps, I'll be fine. In the evening, we'll either go out to dinner or we'll go to my parent's house.

We'll go out to a late brunch somewhere of my choosing, on bike. Then I think we'll come home and my husband will finish building my garden boxes. And maybe a nap? Man I cannot wait.

We're going house hunting! I've been eyeing one particular house online and CAN'T WAIT to see it person. I'm already in love.

It's my first Mother's Day, and we are going to the ILs for a joint Mother's Day/FIL's birthday. I'd rather we stay home rather than spending all weekend there (2+ hr drive each way). My MIL is not my favourite person right now, and did I mention it's my first Mother's Day, and I, selfishly, don't wish to share it? Lol!

My husband works so I will prob take the LOs to the museum or zoo. Maybe he can pickup takeout when he gets back at 8:30-9!

Sun - church then SIL's with DH's side of the family

This is my first Mother's Day that DH is gone for...So not really any plans for myself...He is always amazing about big plans for me- last year we had brunch and margaritas at a favorite restaurant and then he took me to our jeweler and let me pick out the earrings I'd been wanting.
My parents are in town to see my new LO though, so I'll get to spend Mother's Day with my mom and will do something nice for her

s'mores!!! that sounds AWESOME!
The only plan we have (because i'm due the day before) is a bbq at DH's uncle's house. And it's very tentative.

@hotchildinthecity: That's so exciting!
DH usually surprises me with something around Mother's Day, but knows we have a super busy day on the day.
We host Mother's Day which usually consists of me cooking for everyone else (with DH helping as best he can) while all of the other mothers relax. We have my parents and ILs, my brothers and their families and my SIL's parents as well. So it's a full house with a ton of people.

I'm flying home to be with my mom and grandmother. Excited for them to see this baby bump!

The actual day of we have D&D most of the afternoon. So nothing really. DH is cooking dinner for me and my mom Friday night (I'm making a cake, and we'll do presents then), and we're taking MIL out to brunch on Saturday. She's such a drinker and chain smoker that we prefer not to have her at our house and to do things early in the day before she starts drinking.

Church and then lunch with the in laws & supper with my family. Hopefully we will have time to do something on Saturday just the four of us.

DH wants to host mother's day at our place. 
So MIL, FIL, BIL, SIL and their baby will be coming over.

I'm hoping for a nice surprise.
The only official thing is a business dinner for DH.

@oliviaoblivia: a business dinner on mothers day (sunday?) that's odd! Can he change it to Saturday?

I'll wake up with a toddler in my bed. I asked for croissants for breakfast because they're a total luxury for us. Maybe I'll ask for some Nutella and strawberries with them. I'll watch TV in bed until we get up and go to the Farmer's Market. Then we'll have lunch somewhere, sit in my hammock during naptime and no plans for the evening.

@Mamaof2: yeah. He wants us all there to meet one of his investors. He asked if we could have dinner with them on Sunday. I said yes never thinking it was mother's day. There's some special dinner at the club so they want to do it that night. It better be pretty darn special.

My husband is going to a beer festival on Saturday and sleeping out so I'll be on my own with a hopefully happy baby boy in the morning and then we'll all probably have dinner with my parents and sisters later. I would like to do something more focused on the 3 of us at some point but with naptime, not sure if it will be possible to do much, maybe a nice walk.

Going to Disney World with my DH, MIL, and SILs. I'm hanging out with my mom the day before and the week after in celebration of Mom's Day.

DH works. So....taking care of my toddler while being exhausted and pregnant? Just like any other day.

I have no idea...dh knows it's Mother's Day but I don't know if he's planning anything
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
honestly - nothing! haha. It's the day before finals week and I will be studying all day.
wonderful cherry / 21504 posts
Our big plans are face timing with our moms and telling them I'm pregnant. So that part should be fun. Otherwise not much planned. Hopefully I get to sleep in a little, and don't have to cook. Maybe a bike ride with our new bike trailer for C.

DH just told me he is going to make reservations at a winery near our house. It's something I've been wanting to do for awhile but at 9 months pregnant I don't know how much sense it makes. I'd rather go when I can partake as much as I want

Dinner Saturday night at the food markets and breakfast with my mum on Sunday. Dh will go over to his Grandmas for morning tea and I will have some quiet time and then maybe the park? or something else fun in the afternoon.

We're checking out a new restaurant near us for lunch and then heading to the waterfront for a walk, playground time and gelato.

No idea. I'm leaving it to DH and trying not to have expectations.

We're going to Orlando for the weekend to hit up Sea World on Saturday, but have no real plans after that, so I'm not sure what we'll get into. Probably just brunch somewhere. And I'm guessing we'll be having dinner or something with my mom and MIL Sunday night.

Sleeping in a little, spend time with the family, and then we have a wedding later that afternoon/night so we're going to that without our kids.
