Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 10th. While you can go out of your way and buy your mom a fancy watch or the latest designer bag or take her out to an expensive dinner, there is something to be said for gifts that come from the heart. Plus can’t you just hear mom telling you to save your money for a rainy day?
- Plan a Picnic: Spring has finally sprung and what better way to take advantage than spending a family day outdoors? http://www.recreation.gov/ will help you find local picnic spots. Pack your picnic basket with her favorite snacks and head to your local park. Don’t forget a large blanket you don’t mind getting dirty!
- Visit a Museum: This is the perfect outing for moms who are art enthusiasts or history buffs. Museum admission is typically free of charge, or will require a small donation of your choosing. www.NARMAssociation.org gives you the option of searching for museums by keyword, category and location, so you can find something that piques Mom’s interest.
- Take a Hike: Athletic moms are likely to be more excited by the idea of hitting your local trails over going to an overcrowded restaurant for brunch. Not sure where to go? http://www.americantrails.org/ provides a state by state listing of trails. Want to bring your four legged family members along? Check out http://www.bringfido.com/ for dog friendly hiking trails worldwide.
- Volunteer: Does your mom have a cause that is near and dear to her heart? Organize a day to volunteer. Not only will you help those less fortunate, it will bring your family together, and it will also make you both feel really good inside. It’s a win-win-win situation! www.volunteermatch.org is a great site that will pair you with a volunteer opportunity that interests your family.
No matter what you decide, we are sure your mom will remember a thoughtful day spent with her loving family, long after that bag goes out of style and that dinner is a distant memory. You cannot put a price tag on memories.
