What are you doing for or in honor of your mothers this weekend?

We're meeting for my mom and sisters for breakfast, then my IL's are coming here for lunch. We got plants for both our moms because they  like to garden, a yellow rose bush for my mom. I don't remember what kind of bush we got for my MIL.

Whats your favorite memory of your mother?

I really cant pick just one. I think I should have thought that question through a little bit more.

For those with kids, what your favorite mothers day moment? What are your mothers day plans?
No living children, no memories, and I'm very much hoping that no one gets me anything. I might break.


Edit for words and clarity

Wut?

mothers day is this sunday, I was attempting to start a conversation clearly I failed.

Sent my mom and MIL chocolate covered strawberries. Favorite memory of mom... Hard to pick. She's pretty awesome as far as moms go.

The spelling of edition is killing my eyeballs.

We are having our mothers, my FIL and DH's grandma over on Sunday for lunch.  My ILs are vegan so I worked really hard to prepare a special menu for them.  I'm even making a vegan lemon meringue pie!

I can't choose one favourite memory of my mother. We took a semi-spontaneous road trip when I was 19 and that was really fun.

yeah, I need to pay better attention when I type things.

[valie]

I am bringing their grand/great grandson to see them. And facilitating DS painting flower pots for them.

I don't know. I think maybe seeing her and her siblings at get togethers. She is so vibrant around them.

Haha I was 37 weeks pregnant last Mother's Day. My sister and I took our mom and grandmothers to a buffet and it was amazing! This year were going back with the whole family. Later DH and DS are taking me to a butterfly conservatory.

I'm making breakfast for my mom, and dinner for my stepmom.

I don't have living kids, but my co-worker made a little project for me for Mother's Day in memory of my pregnancy that I lost. She said "you're still a mom too." I hugged her and cried. You know you have good people in your life when they make you cry due to their thoughtfulness.

Ok, but what is the ragey "no, nothing..." - it's like you didn't understand the question you wrote.

Oh, ok. yeah I just went back a read that and it doesn't make sense I meant, No I have no kids and no memories. I just hoping no one thinks its a good, loving idea to get me a card or anything, Conner would have been born this June and I'm not ready for that.

I think she's saying no I don't have kids, nothing to the other question. I think.


I thought this was going to be about Ed Edd and Eddy.

The cartoon? I haven't thought about that in forever. Wow childhood flashbacks.

[requiressnacks]

I'll be making dinner for my mom! She's the best, and I couldn't possibly choose one memory.

Fun facts about requiressnacks' Mom : She smoked a bowl with Jimi Hendrix

[apunicorn]

My mom lives across the country for me so she's gonna get a nice bouquet delivered as she does every year!

[lovetruly2015]

@ismellbooks, my mom has bees too. Does she just keep bees or other animals too? your mom I mean.

[wannabmama]

My mom lives far away, I sent her a framed pic of she and I and dad from my wedding last year with a mushy note.

She's a great mom but serious and can be a little cold in some ways but I have memories of her laughing so hard she was crying and those are the best memories.

MIL is a challenge so it makes me appreciate my mom that much more.

Is that why you require snacks?

[wowcheezits]

What are you doing for or in honor of your mothers this weekend? I sent her flowers to her work.

Whats your favorite memory of your mother? Too many. She's been through hell and high water with me and waded through a lot of bullshit to make sure I didn't have to.

For those with kids, what your favorite mothers day moment? What are your mothers day plans? My favorite mother's day day moment is all the hand made crafts my 16 year old brought home from school every year in elementary school. That was awesome. Also, my favorite mother's day gift is when the family cleans the house from top to bottom. Nothing says I love you more than a clean house. My mother's day plans is to celebrate my Granpa's 86th birthday on Saturday. Sunday will be like any other day for me.

What are you doing for or in honor of your mothers this weekend? Well since DH is out of town until Sunday, DD and I are going to my parents house Saturday night. My mom and I are going to watch movies together and hang out. Sunday morning we're going to cook each other breakfast too! I also got her a shopping bag with DD's picture on it from Shutterfly

Whats your favorite memory of your mother? Everything, I had a wonderful childhood and she was always there for me. But her and I love scary movies so probably watching scary movies together and laughing at the corny parts haha

For those with kids, what your favorite mothers day moment? What are your mothers day plans? My favorite moment is having DH and DD taking care of me They are so sweet. Sunday when DH gets home we will hang as a family and later on in the evening we will go to Applebees, my fave!

[dke2010]

What are you doing for or in honor of your mothers this weekend? DH bought hanging flower baskets for my mom, his mom, and me.

Whats your favorite memory of your mother? My mom always goes the extra mile and makes me feel special.

For those with kids, what your favorite mothers day moment? What are your mothers day plans? We're spending Mother's Day at the wedding of my best friend in TX. I'm the MOH and DD is a flower girl.

[housecarder]

What are you doing for or in honor of your mothers this weekend? My siblings and I are making her a family tree poster like this...
She likes that kind of thing over gifts or dinners.

Whats your favorite memory of your mother? I don't have one particular memory, but at every turn my mom always put our needs above hers. She was always there to talk and I can honestly say we've never had a real argument.

For those with kids, what your favorite mothers day moment? What are your mothers day plans?
I love all the silly little gifts they make with the daycare. This Mother's Day I hope to sleep in and have no chores to do.

[lgraceh]

I just sent gifts this year which was weird. I've done a brunch for about 20 people or so the past 5 years. But mom and MIL are both out of town this year. MILs birthday is today, and my mom's is the 13th, so I'm usually pretty stressed making sure everyone feels special on all their days!
My mom is pretty dang amazing. But we would take weekend shopping trips to Oregon growing up for back to school. I lived for those weekends and was something I looked forward to every year!

[motleycrew90]

I bought a coach wallet for both my mom and in law.

I can't just pick one memory that I have with my mom, but she's amazing and I know right now as I have gotten older I love having our lunch/shopping dates.

[RajahMD]

For my mom? Just a card. Our relationship has been strained ever since she went through her midlife crisis and became a selfish brat.

For my MIL? A card plus we're meeting up with her and FIL for dinner on Saturday. She gets to choose the restaurant.

I'm with PP- I am not a fan of greeting card holidays. I just don't get it.

[penguin129]

I got both my mom and mil life lockets on etsy. I also ordered the birthstone charms to go inside them for each of their kids. I think they may come late though. My mom's is going to be even later because after I get it and put it together I have to mail it up north which takes about 4 days in itself.

My favorite memories with my mom are the weeks we got to spend together just the two of us while my dad and brother were away camping.

I'm not sure what we are going to do for me. Last year we went to the beach and a restaurant. I really like it. I told DH I would love to be able to go and get a pedicure if possible. I haven't had one in over a year, but would really like to have that time to just relax.

[singingsea]

What are you doing for or in honor of your mothers this weekend? I feel awful but I have no clue. I got her a card and I'm going to pick her up some flowers. I feel like I've used up all my good ideas already. In the past I've bought her spa treatments, framed pics of DS, candy, flowers. Sometimes the best gifts are a hug and I love you mom.

Whats your favorite memory of your mother? I can't just pick one memory. My mom stayed at home with two kids who had learning disabilities, emotional issues and ADHD. She's gangsta, a queen and I couldn't ask for a better mom.

For those with kids, what your favorite mothers day moment? What are your mothers day plans? Favorite moment was my first mother's day. K was 3 months old. I had all kinds of feelz. This mother's day we're going out to brunch with MIL. In the evening we're doing something with my mom. I don't expect anything but to sleep in. Some sloppy kisses from DS would be nice too.

Probably! HAHA

[cabgirl]

My family is getting together to celebrate on Saturday, since that's when we're all free. I'm bringing my mom flowers, and baking her favorite cookies.

I can't think of a single, favorite memory. I have so many good memories of my mother. I guess the most recent one was planning my wedding with her. She did all the running around with me, and we would find a nice restaurant to have lunch at every day that we got together. It was a happy time for a lot of reasons, but all the time I got to spend with her was one of them.

Regarding Hallmark holidays - I usually dislike them, too, but I like Mother's day and Father's day. I feel like there should be holidays to honor parents. I get that they're sad days for a lot of people, though, and that they were invented out of a corporation's drive to make more money.

What are you doing for or in honor of your mothers this weekend?
BBQ at my BIL for MIL tomorrow, brunch Sunday for my mom.

Me and my mom have a wacky sense of humor so we have had some good laughs and hilarious inside jokes

For those with kids, what your favorite mothers day moment? What are your mothers day plans?
My littles a are 4 and 2. I got to plant flowers with them at their daycare today, it was adorable. My DS is such a mama's boy and I secretly love it. We are doing brunch Sunday and just relaxing
