This Is How I REALLY Want To Spend Mother's Day This Year!

This mum has a rather unique and very special plan for Mother's Day this year...

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Do you have an idea of how you want to spend it? Take some cues from this local mum.

We can all agree that motherhood changes our lives forever – both in subtle and obvious ways. Our needs are often pushed back, and priority is given to our little ones’ requirements – 24/7.

When I became a mum I said “bye” to carefree days of late nights and partying, and “hello” to the world of diapers and milk bottles. My days in their entirety started revolving around my babies and their well-being. Their health, food, and studies dominate my world now – and I am sure the same is true for you.

And though we are often late to realise this, our own mothers made these same (and more) sacrifices for us. They still do… as we will, too, for as long as we can.

This is why Mother’s Day is so significant. Our mums are among the most cherished people in our lives – if not the most loved and special! After all, we exist because of them. And while every day should see mums celebrated, dedicating one special day for this – Mother’s Day – is an opportunity to honour a mother’s eternal love for her children.

Every year, my kids celebrate Mother’s Day in their own special way. From the little things they do, like saying “I love you, mummy!” more than usual, to “big” things like surprising me with small gifts they bought with their pocket money or proudly presenting me with their own sweet creations.

My wonderful husband also makes me feel extra special on the day by taking care of the housework and treating me like a queen in general! But this Mother’s Day, I want to do things a little differently. I want to appreciate myself (because we all forget to do this, right?) and the woman who gave birth to me.

And so, I have an elaborate plan that includes my mum and my family, to celebrate Mother’s Day in a rather unique way.

How I REALLY want to spend Mother’s Day this year is rather special and unique!

Here’s How I Really Want To Spend Mother’s Day: A Very Special Mother’s Day Programme

1. Breakfast In Bed – Every single day, I wake up before everyone else and make sure those little tummies are filled with a healthy breakfast. So this Mother’s Day, I would sure love to be served breakfast in bed for a change! Don’t I deserve it?

2. Surprise Gifts – We are women before we became mums… and every woman just loves surprises! These are made even sweeter when they come from the ones we love with all our heart and soul. I’ve already made plans to send my own darling mum a surprise gift, reminding her that she is loved and cherished.

3. No Chores – Okay, I demand this! Shouldn’t it be mandatory that on Mother’s Day, mum just relaxes and does no chores? That means no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning… the list goes on. What do you say, fellow mummies?

4. A Day-Long Picnic at Sentosa – I would love to spend the whole day with mum, hubby and the kids, and enjoy a wonderful Mother’s Day picnic at Sentosa (my favourite spot in Singapore!) with them.
