It’s crazy that a couple of months ago the world was in a different place, with no Covid-19. We were able to gather in large crowds, socialize with drinks in our hands, and spend time with loved ones. Fast-forwarding to now – adjusting to the new norm and practicing social distancing. It’s a very strange time not being able to do the things we love – shopping, nails done, connecting with friends, going to the gym, traveling, etc. Is it me or have these days flew by? Being quarantined has really kept me busy and realizing that Mother’s day is next Sunday! I mean who’s keeping track of the days now lol? With Mother’s day coming up, I’ve created a list of some activities you and your momma can do together plus a shop the post of some self-care items that she’ll love.
1. BAKING OR COOKING TOGETHER
Have fun baking or cooking a meal together! Whip up a quick and delicious dessert or make your mother’s favorite dinner recipe! Some ideas are: making boxed dessert recipes such as (brownies, funfetti/vanilla cake, or as simple as chocolate chip cookies.
If you’re not able to see your mom, you could bake her a sweet treat and send it over to her. You can also send her an e-gift card, edible arrangements, cash, or a DIY self-care set which she will definitely appreciate!
2. SELF-CARE DAY WITH YOUR MOM
Self-Care Sunday Funday Mother’s Day edition
Bring out your face masks, spa kits, mani/Pedi, bath salts to have a mother-daughter spa day at home. You can also gift your mom a spa basket of lotions, face masks, essential oils to help her enjoy me time during this tough time.
3. WINE DOWN WITH NETFLIX
Netflix and chill with mom! Get cozy with your pajamas on and have a Netflix and wine night with your mom! You both can pick a movie to watch or text each other through it if you’re not able to see each other.
Here are some recommendations to watch: Wine Country, Otherhood, Dumplin’, Uncorked, A Bad Moms Christmas, Fun mom dinner, etc.
Check out the rest of the list here!
4. FAMILY GAME NIGHT
Have a family fun night and play some card games or board games with everyone and include some drinks in on the fun! Play Uno, monopoly, scrabble, trouble, or switch it up!
5. MOTHER & DAUGHTER VIRTUAL WINE TASTINGS
I’m seeing a ton of virtual wine tasting classes online and if your mom is a wine drinker, this is a good one to do together!
