I told H that I want breakfast on the porch like we did while we were vacationing in France last year. Crusty bread, meats, cheeses, butter, fruit, good coffee, etc. We make brunch at home on the weekend a lot (second breakfast really), but I want a nice 1st breakfast.
H got me a new necklace in March for Irish Mother's day, so I'm good on presents.
Usually I don't care about gifts but this year I'm asking for a pandora charm bracelet bc I'd like to start one. DH has a hard time thinking of gift ideas and I figured this would be an easy thing that he and the girls can pick out every year or for special occasions. I've been obsessed with looking at the charms available online omg such cute ones.
As for plans eh, the ILs are coming in bc it happens to also be their 40th anniversary so the day and weekend will be all about them 😔. Also my mom says she doesn't care about mothers day but then insisted on going out to eat on that day with only 1 (my sister who is not a mom) of 3 kids present....even when I suggested just doing it any other day so we can all be together 🤔
I'd also like to get my nails done while DS takes a nap or he and H swim.
I'm probably just ordering my mom flowers. Stuff for H's mom and grandma are on him, although I may send his grandma flowers from DS. His mom is definitely on him.
Not really. We will go to church and we are discussing going to the baseball game that day but it will depend on the weather. H has already picked out a present I really don't care giving me a few minutes peace and not deciding/ cooking dinner and I will be happy.
A is getting baptized on Mother's day so it will be a busy day. I'd like to be able to relax and chill while DH takes care of all the cleanup, that would be nice.
As for gifts, last year DH gave me a flat of pansies to plant in the garden. Something along that line again would be nice.
No idea. My mom & MIL will be out of town, so strange!
Maybe I'll ask DH for a gym membership. One of the gyms in town has childcare - I need to go scope it out. It changed owners 3 years ago, hoping it's improved. The gym gear & classes were good with the old owner, but she let a gaggle of stray cats live there, so the whole lower level smelled like cat pee.
dreemkin that sounds annoying. my SIL will be in town, so i'm sure we'll be expected to spend the entire weekend at the in laws' house. we have swimming sunday morning (i'm shocked they're not canceling), and i'm sure we have to go over there in the afternoon. meh. i may claim saturday as my own mother's day and go get a prenatal massage. all i really want is some family time! ideally we'd go strawberry picking but i've already whined about the logistics.
DH was too excited to wait to give it to me so I got my present early - the pandora bracelet!! I got the basic silver barrel clasp bracelet and he got me two clips (in order for the warranty to be valid) and the girls got me the charm. It is so much cuter in person than I ever imagined! Also it's my 5th year of being a mother and the charm has 5 hearts in/on it so I will always remember that's when I got my bracelet! AW:
