We love moms — and all the women who play a motherly role in our lives. From grandmas and aunts to cousins, girlfriends, and chosen moms, this day is all about celebrating the women who show up with love, strength, and heart every day.
Whether you’re planning something big or keeping it simple, here are five easy and meaningful ways to show your appreciation this Mother’s Day.
1. Cook a Full Day of Delicious Meals
Give mom the gift of rest — and good food. Start with a cozy breakfast like a French toast casserole, move on to a simple yet satisfying savory toast for lunch, and finish the day with a crowd-pleasing dinner like tacos, burgers, or homemade pizza. Bonus points if she doesn’t have to lift a finger!
2. Frame the Kids’ Art
Turn a sweet piece of kids’ artwork into a lasting keepsake. Pick up a frame at Target, Walmart, or a craft store like Michaels — or go custom with a service like Framebridge. Want to surprise her? Have the kids create something new, especially anything with their handprints or footprints.
3. Create an At-Home Retreat
Give mom a mini escape without leaving home. Set up a cozy corner with her favorite book or magazine, run her a bubble bath, or prep a quiet space with candles, coffee, wine, or her go-to playlist. A little solitude can feel like the ultimate luxury.
4. Pick Your Own Flowers
Skip the pre-made bouquet and opt for a more hands-on approach. Visit a local flower farm and pick your own blooms — it’s a fun outdoor activity and a meaningful way to spend time together. You’ll leave with beautiful flowers and some great photos.
5. Send Her to the Spa
Whether it’s a massage, facial, or mani-pedi, a gift card to her favorite spa or salon is always a hit. It’s a thoughtful way to encourage her to relax, recharge, and enjoy a little well-deserved pampering.
Celebrate Her, Her Way
No matter how you celebrate, the most important thing is making her feel seen, loved, and appreciated. A thoughtful gesture — big or small — can go a long way. Here’s to the women who make life a little brighter every day. Happy Mother’s Day!
