Kitchen is still very much a mummy’s domain in many households. So how about giving her some rest this Mother’s Day? Start by treating her to her favourite breakfast platter.
For the lunch and the dinner menu, you can either take your mum’s suggestion on what she would prefer to eat or you can make it a surprise. Don’t worry too much about whether your mum will love your cooking, she will love it! For her, it is all about the effort you put in to make her day.
Take full responsibility for the kitchen, which not only includes cooking, but also the dishes. Help her relax the whole day and keep her out of the kitchen!
2. Plan a surprise date
There is nothing sweeter than going on a date with your mum. You can begin the date with a handwritten note that reads: “Get ready by 6 pm, your date will be waiting for you downstairs.” Gift her the dress she’s always wanted to wear but pushed back from buying so she could contribute to the monthly household expenses, if possible.
Place the dress on the bed along with the note. Then take her down to her favourite restaurant.
As a family, you can also arrange for a special flower delivery for her at the table. And of course, order her favourite meal to make it a special one.
3. Staycation
Due to the pandemic we have all been stuck at our homes. It has been more difficult for mums. Managing household chores, looking after the kid and yes work.
So, instead of sitting at home, how about planning a staycation for her. Help her unwind and relax at a beautiful resort or someplace that may even be close to her heart.
