May is for mothers!
Whether you’re a mom, mom to be or have a special mother in your life, Mother’s Day is right around the corner and a reminder to thank the important mothers or mother figures in your life with something special. It’s easy to fall into the trap of consumer culture that encourages us to gift until we drop, but a truly special Mother’s Day celebration doesn’t have to be complicated or involve armfuls of fancy gifts.
If you’re in need of some inspiration for your special Mother’s Day, we have some of our favorite activities that are sure to help you piece together a perfect day out with your family.
Brunch
Brunch might be a trendy way to spend a Sunday, but a brunch celebration is a charming way to fuel up for a day of fun with the special mother in your life. Toast a few mimosas and chow down on a big country breakfast to celebrate all the amazing memories of you mom or even your experience as a mom to be. If you’re within driving distance of Dallas, the Armoury D.E. is one of our favorite spots. It’s a casual and industrial space with a sophisticated palette and an always impressive brunch menu. You might not find a more decadent french toast, making the Armoury the top of our list for a Dallas Mother’s Day Brunch. If you’re not trying to wander far, you can always try your hand at breakfast in bed with some help from the kids to surprise mom.
Mother’s Day Crafts
If you have little ones eager to celebrate their favorite moms, a craft project is a fun way to bring everyone together. If you’re planning to surprise mom with breakfast in bed, having the kids decorate a breakfast tray for her is a beautiful memento that she’ll use all the time! If your mom is a coffee lover, have your kids decorate a mug that will remind her of all the sweet memories with her little ones every time she takes that morning sip.
Give the Gift of Self Care
There’s no mother out there that couldn’t use a day of pampering. A gift certificate to enjoy a spa day at Austin’s top rated, full-service spa is a gift that wins every time. She can treat herself to a massage, pedicure or an herbal facial to leave her feeling refreshed and glowing. If you’re feeling creative, put together a spa day basket for mom that includes all her favorite bath products, a fluffy robe, candles and slippers. Self care is always in style and it’s always a gift that mom will love.
A little creativity and inspiration goes a long way with mom.
However you plan to make mom feel a little more special for Mother’s Day this year, customizing your gifts and activities makes memories that much sweeter. Spend your day relaxing and helping all the moms in your life feel rejuvenated and appreciated and you’ll be sure to have a great family Mother’s Day with your whole family.
