Did you do it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day/page/2#post-2173180 Sat, 09 May 2015 22:48:11 +0000 irene 2173180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So interesting! I just saw this.<br /> I voted : Salon spa day, a day t yourself to do whatever you want, handmade card / gift from kids, nice meal out, SO does all the cooking cleaning childcare, service to clean house, flowers.</p> <p>In short, I would really love a day off as a mom. The last time I had that was when I had the flu. The time before that was when I was in ER. A day off while getting a massage on the beach. Yes that should do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day/page/2#post-2172785 Sat, 09 May 2015 10:16:44 +0000 thestairs 2172785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any kids yet, I just got married 4 months ago. We will TTC in 2016, my husband already have baby fever big time. I want a year time alone with him before we have a baby.<br /> Right now he working 2 jobs, having a baby wouldn't be a good idea. Next year when we have enough money for a house down-payment, and he back to work 1 job, it would be the better time to TTC</p> <p>But if I have kids, what do I want for Mothers' Day?<br /> All I want is my kids to be happy and healthy.<br /> I want them to grow up with loving childhood memories. Unlike like me myself-their mommy who is full of emotional scars from my childhood.</p> <p>I like handmade things, so I would love it if my kids make me a handmade cards and write I love you mommy on it.<br /> As for my husband, I don't want anything from him. He already is an awesome awesome husband!<br /> Oh, my favorite flower is jasmine. It would be nice if my husband get me couple more jasmine pots, so I can plant and water. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167828 Tue, 05 May 2015 13:44:52 +0000 Greentea 2167828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to spend the day with DH and LO. It would be nice if DH gave her breakfast and got her ready and made me breakfast. Then I think we are going to an international wildlife foundation to hike and see the birds and take photographs, or the botanical gardens to hike around and listen to the free concert. Then hopefully out to eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167541 Tue, 05 May 2015 10:53:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2167541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: me too. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167480 Tue, 05 May 2015 10:26:01 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2167480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: :heart: One day it will be about us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167477 Tue, 05 May 2015 10:24:53 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2167477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to be able to spend the day with just the 3 of us with a little spa service mixed in while LO naps.

It has been wonderful - i have plants all over that i remember what they're from ("oh that was Valentines day that year", or my birthday, and he got me a couple beautiful potted orchids when LO was born). So, I think i'll be getting some sort of flowers/plants, but not the cut kind. I also asked him to make a nice dinner for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167218 Tue, 05 May 2015 08:15:57 +0000 Chillybear 2167218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love a easy breakfast with my husband and daughter and a pedicure</p> <p>But according to our mothers it doesnt really matter what I want to do..... We will be driving 1 1/2 hrs to my ILs small shore house on saturday, sleep over in a highly stressful environment with 6 adults, 3 children under 3, 4 dogs and a cat. Get up on sunday and "do brunch" and then we'll drive an hour to either my parents or my aunts house to celebrate with my family because its also my grandfathers birthday. Then drive another hour home at night. My house will be a disaster since we do all our chores on the weekend, and I'll spend the following week trying to get everything back on track. I know for a fact my husband hasnt even picked up a card and has given me no suggestions on what to get his mother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167198 Tue, 05 May 2015 08:02:38 +0000 cmomma17 2167198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee in bed and a handmade card from LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167189 Tue, 05 May 2015 07:58:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2167189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of these sound amazing! But realistically I wanted to be around my family and kids on mothers day and do something within our budget. </p> <p>A) Wake up to a clean house (from SO or a service).<br /> B) Fun family activity<br /> C) Good meal out (where SO primarily takes care of kids) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167188 Tue, 05 May 2015 07:58:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 2167188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already know exactly what I want! </p> <p>1) sleep in (until 9ish, hah) and have the whole family join me for breakfast and TV in bed<br /> 2) a wrist corsage (I know, cheesy, but it's a tradition and I love it, so much more than a bouquet)<br /> 3) go to a kid-friendly fancy tea downtown </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167173 Tue, 05 May 2015 07:49:37 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2167173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd really just like to spend the day doing something fun together just the three of us! I finally get to be a mom out and about on Mother's Day "showing off" my family :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167127 Tue, 05 May 2015 06:59:55 +0000 Freckles 2167127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: do you guys use a blanket? We have this huge JJ Cole travel mat that works great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167108 Tue, 05 May 2015 06:33:21 +0000 blackbird 2167108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since i'm due the day before....my option isn't included :) </p> <p>I'd like some kind of jewelry with both kids' names on them or something. But i have yet to decide what I want. so, there's that. </p> <p>I'm not a big gift person, honestly. A really nice card goes a really, really long ways in my book. And he always nails that. It's all I really cherish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167096 Tue, 05 May 2015 05:45:45 +0000 daniellemybelle 2167096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was hard to choose just three, haha! I ended up unselecting family photo shoot because while that sounds nice, I would still feel like we could have spent that money better elsewhere right now. I also unselected going on a little trip because even though it sounds great, we have done that recently and I am tired! </p> <p>I picked a day to myself, sleep in/breakfast in bed, and a heartfelt letter from DH. He has never written more than 5 or 6 words in a card to me so I would LOVE a letter from him.</p> <p>Are you going to publish this well in advance of Mother's Day to help our SO's out? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167086 Tue, 05 May 2015 05:13:23 +0000 knittylady 2167086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I chose the same three!</p> <p>A day with family is every day for me cause I sah. So no thanks haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167084 Tue, 05 May 2015 05:09:29 +0000 Dandelion 2167084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep in and going out for dinner (with or without kids) sounds great to me. Anything else would be a nice bonus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167075 Tue, 05 May 2015 04:23:08 +0000 regberadaisy 2167075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: oh, you just reminded me we had a failed picnic attempt last night. Maybe we'll grab dinner and have s picnic instead, weather providing! Haha but dd2 still hates grass so we'll see.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167073 Tue, 05 May 2015 04:19:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2167073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ideal Mother's Day is getting some time to spend with my family just the four of us. Not having to cook or clean, so eating out that way I get to spend more time with DH instead of him cooking and cleaning. I would also love a handmade card from the girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167046 Tue, 05 May 2015 00:03:55 +0000 Meowkers 2167046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted a nice day with family, a heartfelt card from SO and a photo album. I'm a sap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167043 Mon, 04 May 2015 23:45:24 +0000 littleblessings 2167043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ideal Mother's Day would be I get to sleep in and wake up to the smell of bacon and the sound of my kids laughing. Then my SO and kids come upstairs to "wake me up" (I'd fake sleeping)<br /> After the breakfast I'd like to go to a local thrift shop and get a sun dress. Follow that up with a walk and a picnic somewhere on our walk. Then we would go home and the kids could play outside while I drink a slushie that SO bought me on the way home. After that movies and pizza at home. Perfect day. I am not a huge gift person. The sundress would most likely be considered the monetary part of Mother's Day since my SO likes to buy gifts. Fromy kids I'd just want them to behave and be super loving all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-chime-in-what-do-you-want-for-mothers-day#post-2167034 Mon, 04 May 2015 22:33:56 +0000 coopsmama 2167034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for house cleaning service, flowers, and a nice meal out. That would be a wonderful day. </p>
