10 Ways To Spend Mother’s Day With Your Mom

Mother's Day

 

As adults, we sometimes get so wrapped up in our day to day lives we forget to take time out for the  ones we love. This Mother’s Day, if you have the opportunity to spend time with your mom, do it. 

1. Breakfast In Bed
Surprise mom with breakfast in bed.

2. Wine Tasting
Spend the day at a winery, tasting different wines.

3. A Mystery Train Ride
Enjoy a murder mystery dinner with mom.

4. Take a Class Together
With so many  different classes being offered, sign up for a class or two and learn something new with your mom.

5. Tickets
Does your mom enjoy a nice play, the theater or even a musical? Why not surprise her with tickets to a night of entertainment. Broadway has some really great shows if your looking for a  weekend getaway with your mom.

6. Adult Tea Party
Is your mom a tea drinker? If so, grab your siblings or some of your gal pals and their moms and have a Mother’s Day tea party.

7. Gardening
If your mom enjoys gardening, spend the day channeling your inner green thumb with her. 

8. Shopping
Before dinner or after brunch, take time out for a little one on one shopping time with your mom. 

9. Helping
Help your mom with anything around the house that she needs help with. If she has a Facebook page or any other social media site, show her how it works. Help keep your mom up to date with today’s technology. 

10. Talking
Last but not least, spend some time just talking and catching up with your mom. If your mom lives out of state, call, Skype or face-time her and just talk.

How do you plan to spend this Mother’s Day?

“Not always eye to eye. But always heart to heart”

    My favorite way with my mom when l see her is just sitting with her. The company counts. She is quite old now and has a lot of ailments, so voices is what she recognizes and l think it comforts her. These are all great ways admittedly, and have done a few of these with her in the past.

    Great list. My mom is definitely a fan of helping her around the house when we can’t think of an exciting activity. I’m taking her to a screening of Mother’s Day the movie tomorrow and we will hang out the with family at the park on Mother’s day.

    #3 seems so interesting. My mom doesn’t live near me so I can’t spend Mother’s Day with her, unfortunately.

    These are great ideas. My mom and I already spend a ton of time together, so I’m always looking for something different to do for Mother’s Day. Wine tasting would be so fun.

    Great List! Getting older and being a mother, it’s hard to come up with ideas for my mom. But these are definitively ideas that we would love.

    Mother’s Day is BIG for me and I like to make a big deal of it every year. This year I am hosting my Annual Mother’s Day Tea. I invite the mom’s and daughters in my family over for a nice brunch.

    I’m not sure what we are doing for Mother’s Day this year. I will probably surprise my mom with breakfast “made” by the kids. We will see but we tend to keep it light and enjoy the day at church.

    I love all of those ideas. My mom lives out of the country so I won’t get to spend Mother’s Day with her, but we will definitely be Skyping 🙂

    My mother passed a few years ago and how I long to just sit and talk with her. These are awesome suggestions, maybe I’ll ask my kids which one they want to do with me and that will be one of our activities for the day!

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion… 

I wore my Apple Watch with every outfit for years. Then one day I realized not every outfit needs it.

Sometimes the best accessory is knowing when to leave one off.

Do you wear your Apple Watch with everything, or do you switch it up depending on the outfit?

Adulting is exhausting. Nights like this are necessary.

A reminder that I’m allowed to enjoy my life, too.

Work can have me tomorrow. Tonight belongs to me.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is leave the house. #fashionstyledetroit

When I have no idea what to wear, I stick to a formula that never fails: a graphic tee, a maxi skirt, and statement shoes. Simple, effortless, and it always looks put together. #fashionstyledetroit #ootd #styletip

Unpopular fashion opinion: It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

I’d rather walk into a room feeling confident than spend the whole time wishing I’d put in a little more effort.

Getting dressed isn’t about impressing other people, it’s about how you feel when you show up.

Agree or disagree? Which would you rather be: overdressed or underdressed? 👇🏾

Unpopular fashion opinion: Not every fashion trend looks good on everybody.

I’ve learned that chasing every trend doesn’t build great style knowing what works for your body, lifestyle, and personal style does.

The best outfits aren’t always the trendiest. They’re the ones that make you feel confident.

Agree or disagree? What’s one fashion trend you just couldn’t get behind?

I told myself I wasn’t buying another pair of sunglasses.

Then I tried them on.

At what point does it become a collection and not a shopping problem?

Unpopular fashion opinion: Looking expensive has nothing to do with how much you spent.

Some of the best outfits I’ve ever worn weren’t the most expensive…they just fit well, felt good, and were styled with intention.

A designer label won’t fix bad styling, but confidence can elevate almost anything.

Agree or disagree? 

What’s your unpopular fashion opinion?

Original price: $170

My price: $59.97

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s not spending money… that’s being financially responsible. 

Girl math or smart shopping? Be honest. 😂

What up doe? Fashion besties, can we talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult?

Between work, responsibilities, and everything else life throws our way, making new friends isn’t always easy. That’s why I love events like this. There’s something so refreshing about stepping outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, and making real life connections.

I came for the content, the donuts, and the good vibes…but I left with some great conversations and new connections.

Noowwwww…let’s talk about the food!! The donuts were good, and I especially loved the Strawberry Shortcake Layered Custard. But the real star of my evening? The Crispy Ramen Original Rice Hotdog lightly sprinkled with sugar. I’m officially hooked and already planning my next visit.

A big thank you to @DetroitFinds313 and @mochinut_berkely for hosting such a fun and welcoming event. 

Now tell me, fashion besties, do you find it easy or hard to make new friends as an adult?
