Speaking of Mother's Day.......(for the Moms & Moms-to-be....)

....does your H/FI/BF/SO/partner plan something special?  Get you a gift? Or nothing at all?  Do you give them suggestions/demands/a list of ideas? Do you go out? Stay at home? Make it a family gathering/BBQ?

Just curious because one of my sister's is very adamant every year that her H does not forget, buys her something expensive (she usually has it already picked out), and takes her out to some fancy, expensive brunch in a crowded restaurant.  She constantly nags him about it, starting right after V-Day so he is sure not to forget.

I have a list that I keep for H to refer to when he wants to get me a gift, because he is a hopeless shopper (his words).

So, now I am done babbling..........what are your plans?

  • We usually go out for Brunch with our moms. He also usually gets me a card. We dont really do gifts (the card isnt even necessary, but the kids like giving them to me). 
  • We usually make gifts with S for Mother's/Father's Day and I love that. Last year they made me this little cement block with S's handprint on it, painted and dated it. He also got me an inexpensive necklace from my favorite etsy seller.

  • We're going to Benihana's for dinner per my son's suggestion.

    He'll pay for my dinner but I'm sure I'll be paying for DS#2 and #3's food.  lol

  • I love Begonia's and always want them in my plant bed in the front yard, the problem is I HATE worms. So, every year for Mother's Day, my husband plants Begonia's for me. :) It has become a tradition. He will also take me out for lunch too. My oldest daughter comes over and brings the grandbabies to visit too. They usually give me something that they made for me which I love.

  • We dont always do gifts but in general i expected to be honored in some way.

    I sm not sure what we are doing. I havent decided, but h always makes it a nice day. 

  • He usually gets me a gift, and we do brunch or dinner with our moms.

    The only thing I ask him for is a card made by the girls. I mean, I'm their mom, not his, and for now a card is the best gift they can give me. I can't even remember what his gift to me was last year, but I do remember the "Why We Love Our Mommy" poem he wrote that the girls decorated with doodles and stickers. I loved it.

    DS#2 has cleaned out my truck in lieu of a Mother's Day gift, but planting flowers is an AWESOME idea.  It's still too cold at night to plant flowers, but I think I'll suggest that DS#2 & #3 do that as a Mother's Day gift when the time comes.

  • This is my first MD as a mom and I asked my H to have Merry Maids come clean the house. 

    I usually get my mom something small or meaningful, nothing expensive.  I think my Dad gets her chocolates or flowers or something small, too.  But, I'm close to my mom and see her at least once a week.  She knows how much she means to me :)

    He will take x so I can sleep in and he cooks breakfast. Thats all I want. I can buy myself what I want with our joint funds. I like thoughtful gifts though, last year he got me a tervis tumbler that I couldn't justify buying at the time. I mentioned it in passing and he remembered.
