How to plan the best Mothers Day ever

Put your hand up if you’ve ever taken your mother for granted. Yep, that’s what we expected – we all have. We often forget what our mothers have done for us, but hopefully not the fact that they love us unconditionally. So we think it’s about time to give something back just in time for Mother’s Day!

Follow these easy steps for the best Mother’s Day ever!

1. Spoil her

Mum deserves everything you can give her, so go all out. Find out what she loves and enjoys and make her day revolve around that. If she likes to go hiking, go hiking, take a picnic and make a day of it! Pick a theme and stick to it. Get creative and make sure it comes from the heart!

2. Do something special

Doing something special simply means doing something that you wouldn’t normally do. It can be as simple as making mum breakfast in bed (we love Banana Raspberry Crumble Muffins) or taking her to do something she’s never done before.

3. Create your own card

We think this is super important. If you make your own card she’ll know you haven’t just dipped into a store last minute to pick one up! Homemade cards are always more heartfelt and it’ll mean more to her than anything money can buy. Write from the heart and watch as hers melts!   

4. Bake something with a little help from Betty  

If we’re all honest mum does most of the baking, doesn’t she? So this Mother’s Day it’s your turn. Don’t fret, we’ve got a list here of the most delicious cakes and desserts you can make. They’re all super easy and will definitely get you on your mum’s good side! Try any one of the following:

5. Leave her alone (we mean this in a good way!)

Mum is always busy, so Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity for her to relax. Go over to her house and help out on the things she does everyday! Yes, even if that means taking out the laundry! That way she can truly relax and make the most of her special day.

There are plenty of other ways to make your mum feel special this Mother’s Day but these are our favourites. If you have any other ideas we’d love to hear them and even you’re your plans are this special day!
