Do The Chores

Give Mom a much needed break from sweeping, laundry, and dishes by doing them for her. Does your Momma hate to do one type of chore more than others? If so, surprise her by completing it with a smile on your face. 

Do not wait for her to ask you to do this…simply do it!

Make Her Meals

Really go above and beyond by serving Mom all of her meals today. Bring her breakfast in bed, prepare a healthy lunch, and a delicious dinner.

Pro tip: You don’t need to go to the grocery store. Be creative with what you have on-hand. After all, that’s what Mom would do.

Write Mom A Note

Let Mom know how much you appreciate her by writing her a love note. You don’t have to use pen and paper — be creative! After all, it’s the little things that will make the biggest impression.

Use sidewalk chalk to let everyone know how terrific your mom is, paint Mom a one-of-a-kind masterpiece using words that describe her, or make a sticker collage of her favorite things. 

Take A Hike

Take Mom for a walk in the Couturie Forest in City Park, for an afternoon among the trees and beautiful waterways.

Looking to honor mom with nature but staying inside?

Then donate to Wildflowers to Mom and she’ll receive a packet of wildflowers to brighten her spring.

Deliver The Gift Of Happy Hour

Give Mom the gift of wine! After all, doesn’t she deserve a treat? Local wine and specialty stores are ready to help you select wines that Mom will love.

Pro tip: Some stores are delivering! Check out our list of locations here.
