ADMIT IT, ALL MOMS LOVE BEING SPOILT ON MOTHER’S DAY, AND WHETHER WE WILL STILL BE IN LOCKDOWN OR NOT, THERE ARE AMPLE WAYS TO APPRECIATE YOUR MOM THIS YEAR THAT WON’T COST A FORTUNE. HERE ARE 10 EXPERIENCES TO INSPIRE YOU AND LEAVE A LASTING MEMORY WITH THIS SPECIAL PERSON IN YOUR LIFE
their children’s lives, so why not create a scrapbook of your favourite photographs, artwork and all fun memorabilia from the past.
Bake a cake Mother’s Day would be incomplete without something sweet to celebrate mom. If your mom enjoys baking, then whip up her favourite cake together – and don’t forget to offer to clean up the mess afterwards.
Virtual tours From the comfort of the lounge suite Google virtual tours, and choose what you want to explore. From museums, gardens, zoos and theme parks, enjoy the experience without leaving home.
Flowers There’s nothing like a pretty bunch of flowers from the garden to make mom feel all warm and fuzzy. Tie together with a ribbon or place in a vase, and she will admire them for days.
Let her sleep in Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to let mom sleep in without having to worry about the family, making breakfast, feeding the pets or anything else.
Breakfast in bed There’s no better way to start the day than with breakfast served on a tray in bed. Keep it simple – yoghurt and fruit; pancakes drizzled with syrup; toast with oodles of butter and jam; or scrambled eggs on toast. And don’t forget the coffee.
Plan a picnic This time of year is ideal for celebrating Mother’s Day at home enjoying a picnic in the garden. It doesn’t have to be fancy – sandwiches, fresh fruit, something sweet and a lot of love.
D-I-Y face mask Mom will be glowing on Mother’s Day after you’ve pampered her with a do-ityourself face mask. There are many recipes on the internet – using, for instance, lemon, oatmeal, bananas or milk as a base – which are easy and safe to make. Best of all, mom will look radiant.
