Unfortunately, that could mean spending Mother’s Day at home for some of us. Don’t fret if your family always goes out for a scrumptious lunch or intimate dinner. There are beautiful and fun ideas to celebrate her at home this Mother’s Day. She may not be able to get her hair done, or get a pamper-me massage session, or spend time at the beach. So, bring it all to her at home this day. It will not definitely stop her from enjoying this special day in the comfort of her home. The kids are home with her. So why not make the best of the four corners of the home to spend Mother’s Day. Right? For adult kids, if your mom is from out-of-state, call her on the phone. Celebrate her virtually with the whole family. Connect with her even through a video call; to let her know she is remembered today. Moms can be celebrated in several ways, not just showering them with special gifts. The key is knowing what she loves to do and what she’s fond of. Then, give her the gift of time. Let her spend quality time with the kids; if she prefers to be alone, so be it. **Links in this post are affiliate links. I get commissions for purchases made through links at no extra cost to you.

Idea number 13 is sweet! 1. Mom loves breakfast in bed with Daddy’s help. How about making a waffle feast with her favorite fruits or a savory breakfast platter. Prop up some fresh flowers on her tray! 2. Cook a Big Breakfast meal together. This can get messy, I warned you. However, the joy of cooking together is priceless. You get to connect and enjoy the food afterward! 3. Let her sleep in longer and surprise her with a warm cup of her favorite drink! Sleep is probably what mom will want to have. So keep the bedroom quiet which can be a huge challenge for young kids. And as for her favorite drink, pour it in a new Mommy Mug as another gift for her. 4. Set up her warm bubble bath with flower petals and scented candles. What a set-up it will be, as long as no one is knocking at the door every 5 seconds. Let her relax in a bubble bath is her thing. Prop up some of her favorite books nearby. 5. Plan a Head-to-Toe Mom massage by kids. Let older kids pamper Mama with their gentle massages. Even little ones will want to join in the fun when they see Mama enjoying some touchy-feely massage. Then, end it with a tickle fight! 6. Put together an At-Home spa day for Mom. The Full Service. Mini facials, mini pedicure, mini body/foot massage, and end it with a basket full of her Skin Care products (brands she’s been using currently). You can also add some hair care products mentioned by All Things Hair. 7. Set up breakfast in the backyard with fresh flowers around. A change of scenery and a warm breakfast for Mom. Win-win! 8. Surprise her with a Big Bouquet of her Favorite Flowers. Of course, you can’t go wrong with her Favorite Flowers arranged in a lovely vase. 9. Kids craft for Mommy’s Card. This one needs the kids’ creativity. Let them draw Mom and create sweet messages for Mom. 10. Play her favorite music while you dance around in the living room. Then, get her to dance to her groove with the whole family up on their dancing feet. 11. Movie Marathon of her 3 Top Movies with a big snack platter. Decide which movies and prepare a snack platter: mozzarella breadsticks, cheese fries, nachos, blocks of chocolates, a tub of Popcorn, and some fizzy drinks for all to share! Print out some movie tickets with the movie titles, and have kids pretend you are in the movie theater. 12. Take a Family Picture with coordinating outfits for all; you can do this on Mother’s Day yearly. Wouldn’t it be nice to commemorate Mom with a Mother’s Day Photoshoot? Now, grab your best handy camera. Start getting everyone situated in the living room or backyard. Have goofy pictures as well to make it more fun! 13. Compile and make a collage of kids’ birth photos or the first few days at home. Now, this might make her cry, and that’s perfectly alright. But, seeing these sweet first moments with her kids can send her into a memory walk, and she’ll be reminded of how she overcame the beginning phase of motherhood. 14. Paint some art for mom; Canvas with Kids. I don’t know about you – arts and kids together can be the most eye-opening experience along with imagination you can have. So let them be free to create whatever they want for Mom. Surprise art for the win! 15. Set up a late afternoon tea party for mom in the backyard. Buy her favorite tea ahead of time, and bake some delicious blueberry scones with the kids. Include other little sweet and savory treats for her to enjoy today. 16. Dress up and attend Virtual Church Service together in the living room. Pray together as a family. This brings enlightenment and peace every time you engage in activities that involves God. Ask the kids to participate as if they’re really in church. 17. Play the “I’m thankful for Mom because” game. Kids enumerate what they’re thankful for Mom. Fill her bucket with love and appreciation. 18. Play board games, card games, or Playstation games. Have some competitive fun! Let it be an easy-going playtime for everyone! But wait! There are more ideas for spending Mother’s Day at home; keep going. 19. Set up an hour of quiet time for Mom to do whatever she wants without interruptions. Gather up the kids to a different room, or do something fun outside. Let mom relax in her QUIET WORLD. You can cross your fingers now; this can be a real challenge with young kids. They’d always want to be where Mama is. 20. Buy her hobby gifts and present them in a pretty basket. Well, this might give her a big smile when she receives all the hobby items she needs and wanted on her shopping cart online. 21. Ask Mom what you and the kids can do for her this very day. She might take you all up to it. Take her to-do list, then ask her which ones she needs to cross out. 22. Do an indoor workout together as a family. Buy her a new workout outfit or new gym shoes. This can be an energizing activity in getting everyone to sweat it out! Remind mom that taking care of herself is important, and you guys got her back! 23. Camp out in the backyard and roast marshmallows for smores. This is an easy alternative for the adventurous bunch to engage the outdoors in your very own backyard. Pitch the tent in the afternoon, lit up the fire pit, and get marshmallow roasting in minutes. Sweet smores comin’ up! Add in some ghost stories in the mix! 24. Set up the inflatable pool and have refreshing iced drinks available. Ah… This one might take the winning spot, especially if you live around the southern states. Do an afternoon dip around 430-5 pm and sip on some iced cold drinks. Bonus if you have a house pool; everyone can get in and join the fun! 25. Include the name of the baby/child she lost in the mother’s day card. This is especially close to her heart. Every name is deeply written in her soul. This gesture is making a full circle of her motherhood journey. If she has no living kids, she is still a mom no matter what. Remembering her child is the best gift you can give. 26. Make a Mother’s Day card signed by the kids. This ties with #25 and #9. Create something special, unique, and memorable. 27. Share your fondest mom memories, write them down and place them in a keepsake box. Each kid can write a note or two every mother’s day and keep them in the box. These will fill up pretty quickly. Then, she can treasure these sweet notes and read them after they’re long gone for college or marriage. 28. Music Night: play the piano, sing karaoke, dance party. Another idea for a whole family fun night! Pick your door, explore and have a blast! 29. Frame her favorite motherhood quote. You noticed she keeps gravitating to inspiring words to keep her going these days. So why not give her the best of her favorites quotes. Ideas to celebrate Grandma when unable to visit: 30. Grandmas from out-of-state: Do a virtual tea party. Set the setting, full tea sets out, real teas, and treats. Then, have a tea party with Grandma and enjoy chatting. 31. Grandmas from out-of-state: Send her flowers or special gifts. Order something online and set up a delivery notice for you. Then, when she gets her gifts, call her and greet her a Happy Mother’s day! 32. Grandmas from out-of-state: Send a beautiful Mother’s day card. Have the kids create a homemade card signed by the whole family; mail it or take a photo of it if pressed for time.  Whatever the kids choose to do at home this Mother’s Day, let it be remembered for the years to come.   Additionally, remember to take photos of the day to add to the family album.
