Friends and I are doing massages, nice dinner, and a night at a swanky hotel in town. The guys will bring the kids to join us for brunch Sunday morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2538059 Sun, 01 May 2016 11:33:54 +0000 auggiefrog 2538059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure DH knows it's Mother's Day. I would be happy with brunch somewhere though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2538016 Sun, 01 May 2016 09:15:24 +0000 Finfan 2538016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537849 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 20:17:07 +0000 jhd 2537849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537799 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 17:33:06 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2537799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We happen to be traveling anyway, but I don't expect anything special. I'd really just like a nap! Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537778 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:20:06 +0000 wrkbrk 2537778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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!).</p> <p><a href="http://www.davidyurman.com/products/women/necklaces-and-chains/initial-charm-necklace-with-diamonds-in-gold-n08792-88.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidyurman.com/products/women/necklaces-and-chains/initial-charm-necklace-with-diamonds-in-gold-n08792-88.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537776 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:18:23 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2537776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually just go out to brunch. I get my own gift if I want it. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537739 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 14:28:54 +0000 caterw 2537739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537731 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 14:10:28 +0000 Alba4 2537731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537727 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 14:05:05 +0000 Portboston 2537727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537692 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 12:39:27 +0000 SweetiePie 2537692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will go to church and then the zoo, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537691 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 12:39:04 +0000 mrsrain 2537691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537687 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 12:26:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2537687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH makes a big breakfast and takes all the children downstairs so I can sleep in a little bit.<br /> Then we go to a garden center and I pick flowers for my window boxes. I spend the afternoon planting.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537683 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 11:57:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2537683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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!! </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537659 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 11:18:43 +0000 Astro Bee 2537659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537620 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 09:21:54 +0000 stiletto_mom 2537620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: That sounds like heaven! LOL!</p> <p>I don't think I'm doing anything.</p> <p>I plan on surprising my Mom with the news that we're preggers though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537600 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 08:13:18 +0000 Portboston 2537600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: thank you I will!!!</p> <p>@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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537566 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 04:52:46 +0000 FaithFertility 2537566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brunch out with family!<br /> 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 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537563 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 04:37:26 +0000 delight 2537563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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!</p> <p>We are going for brunch with my mom, MIL and DH'a sister and family. I love brunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537559 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 04:19:54 +0000 travelgirl1 2537559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: when my kids are a bit older I'm going to do this, it sounds amazing! Enjoy!</p> <p>All I want is sleep. Hopefully DH will give me a lie in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537530 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:54:28 +0000 ALV91711 2537530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537509 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:03:52 +0000 Portboston 2537509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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!!!!<br /> (My bday is the day before moms day so it's a big gift!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537492 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:33:55 +0000 Tanjowen 2537492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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 &amp; DH too.</p> <p>DH is rarely home weekends so I usually celebrate by taking my mom out and celebrating her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537484 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:13:17 +0000 Eko 2537484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537469 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 20:53:35 +0000 schubr03 2537469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to my mom's house for lunch. </p> <p>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? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537464 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 20:50:40 +0000 MamaChin 2537464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537429 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 19:40:17 +0000 regberadaisy 2537429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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!</p> <p>No gifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537279 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 16:13:35 +0000 MoonMoon 2537279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537276 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 16:11:23 +0000 MoonMoon 2537276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-or-doing-anything-special-for-mothers-day#post-2537223 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:21:47 +0000 youboots 2537223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p>
