Mother's Day Celebrations
Describe the low-cost, high-value Mother’s Day celebration of your
dreams. In what inexpensive, yet highly meaningful way would you chose
to be honored if it was left entirely up to you?
"I love to garden and my favorite Mother's Day celebration is
the gift of help. It has become our tradition over the years to
work in my garden or the yard on mothers day. To me that is the
best gift and having my family help me (complaint-free) is much
more rewarding then going to a restaurant." ~ Anonymous
"I'd love
enough days off from work to get COMPLETELY caught up around the
house. I'm a single mom and my days off are rare. When I do get
one, I want to hug my boss because he has NO idea what a
wonderful thing he's given me!" ~ Leslie
"My dream Mother's Day
celebration would be to awaken to breakfast in bed. Oatmeal and
toast would be great, the not getting up first part would be
great, too. Then just visiting with all my kids and grandkids
all day without doing chores. Then having my husband barbeque
his famous potatoes and hamburgers for dinner. To me the best
gift isn't bought in a store but unhurried time together. P.S.
Hope my husband and kids see this!" ~ Cindy

"It
would be wonderful just to have my family tell me that I didn't have
to lift a finger all day, that meals and everything would be taken
care of by them without any fighting or complaining over it. Eating
out is nice, but expensive and usually a hassle on a holiday. Just
to be able to go to church and relax afterwards would make me very
happy." ~ Anonymous
"Mother's
day is a tough one. Sundays I am usually the first one awake and
getting everyone up and around for church! So the 'breakfast in
bed' idea wouldn't be too practical on a Sunday morning...But what
about the day before on Saturday instead? A cup of tea and a
flower...some toast & jam would be so nice.
Spending a relaxing day outdoors enjoying the fresh air, having fun as
a family, perhaps cooking out...To have the day off from meal-prep and
cleanup would be truly heavenly!" ~ Anonymous
