My mom hates shopping (except bargains, so maybe outlets?), she doesn't like spa/nails, she doesn't really drink.<br /> Maybe Academy of Sciences or the SF moma? There are neat walking tours of SF that my in laws have enjoyed when they visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598269 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 09:26:30 +0000 Mrsbells 2598269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom loves to shop so we would have a day at the mall </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598238 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 08:59:28 +0000 Rocker2014 2598238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopping, shopping and more shopping! Probably at an outlet center. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598200 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 08:24:02 +0000 snowjewelz 2598200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, now I feel like I should schedule for a grown up day with mom too!</p> <p>My mom loves shopping, so if we had a whole day, I'd take her out for a mani/pedi (she will never spend $ on these), lunch and then shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598172 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:52:45 +0000 LulaBee 2598172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food and shopping. Antique stores!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598165 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:30:03 +0000 SweetiePie 2598165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had one of these with my mom last week!</p> <p>We went bargain shopping (TJ Maxx and the like), had lunch, went home for an hour to relax, then we went to get massages. My mom doesn't ever ever do that for herself so I like to treat her.<br /> That was the only day I had full childcare. </p> <p>A separate day we also went to a Broadway show (but I live in NYC).<br /> Fwiw my mom would loooove to go wine tasting. Can you search for a casual/fun place that isn't too stuffy/fancy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598156 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:16:32 +0000 Alba4 2598156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopping, Broadway show, lunch or dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598134 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:41:12 +0000 youboots 2598134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: ah yes. My mom is my gardener too. It's pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598133 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:39:36 +0000 looch 2598133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Absolutely! I'll send her over, with her gardening gloves too. One thing that she loves to do is go to a garden center and buy plants. Then she plants all my outdoor pots. I help, mostly by doing the heavy lifting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598131 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:37:27 +0000 youboots 2598131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: can I borrow your Mom. I need halpppp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598125 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:27:30 +0000 looch 2598125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom isn't a spa kind of person either, her idea of fun would be to reorganize a closet...which we have done when she visits. </p> <p>She also likes tourist type stuff, so for this we usually buy the express tickets so we're not waiting in line a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598110 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 05:50:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2598110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brunch or lunch- either way there will be spirits :grin: My mom enjoys art exhibits, whether it's at a museum or gallery. She would get a kick out of really cheesy touristy stuff because she could also people watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598089 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 23:19:48 +0000 LindsayLou 2598089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lunch, shopping, a walk, or a trip to a museum maybe. Grab a coffee and just talk. That sounds lovely! I love seeing my mom as a grandma, but I miss our one on one time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598088 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 23:12:33 +0000 sunny 2598088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lunch, shopping and maybe the botanical garden is what my mom would enjoy. She isn't into spa stuff either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598080 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 22:11:57 +0000 youboots 2598080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually lunch, shopping and a pedicure. Dim Sum or Alfred's would be fun, biking or driving over the bridge to be tourists on that little island. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spend-a-grownup-day-with-your-mom#post-2598079 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 22:11:04 +0000 Corduroy 2598079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom will be in town Fri without my dad. I happen to have the day off and LOs can be in daycare. I want to spend the day with my mom because I haven't spent time with her one on one since LO1 was born - 3.5 years ago. </p> <p>I'm looking for ideas. My mom isn't into spa stuff at all (but feel free to answer that way if your mom is). </p> <p>I'm in the SF Bay Area if you have any specific suggestions. Wine tasting seems like the obvious choice. Not sure if that's too fancy for her. </p>
