Mother's Day plans?
Did we talk about this? What are you doing for your mother(s)?
If you are also a mother yourself, is it hard to balance being on the giving and receiving end of the day?

Decorate This
Saturday I'm taking my Mom to see gardens and then out to lunch
Sunday I'm going to SIL's for breakfast with DH's family and then going to a cookout at my Mom's.
I try to do something separate with my Mom on Saturday since actual Mother's Day always turns into everyone doing whatever my Grandmother wants.
"My" mother's day is usually Saturday and then we do soemthign w/ both sets of parents on Sunday.
I guess we could do something separate w/ each set of parents, but its just easier for us to do it together and I'd rather not run around all weekend.
I think I'm going to get my Mom a bead (or two) for her Pandora bracelet and write her a heartfelt letter. I can't get out to pick out a card very easily and don't trust DH to get "the right one" for me, so I'll just write her something instead.
In the past we've done a little get-together at her house with my parents, my sisters and their families, and my grandparents, but one sister is out of town for 3 weeks and I'm laid up, so I don't know when I'll actually get to see her.
In regards to being a mother myself now, it's not bad. We split celebration times if there are conflicts - like I'll see my Mom a week later instead of on the actual day, or DH will do something for me the day before Mother's Day.
I'm going to Pittsburgh this weekend and the trip synced up with Mother's Day. My siblings and I are going to get portraits taken for our mom. We also plan to get an ice cream cake for the evening. As far as dinner, IDK. So far dessert and the gift are planned.
I would really like to be with my hubby becasue this is his first Mother's Day without his mom. I try not to talk about the plans for Mother's Day for my mom. He did agree to send flowers to his Grandma, but I really know Mother's Day will be hard for him.
Haha, I love this.
We have no plans for the day. I am 2 hours from my mom and can't get to her/she can't get here so I'm sending her a care package. My guess is that we'll have some sort of get together with the ILs. I'd love to go to brunch but B is still so new that I don't think we'll go out since it'll be so crowded.
Someone's getting a little brother!
