Help! Mothers Day Ideas....

MissyshayneMissyshayne
in 3rd Trimester

Well we're 37 weeks pregnant with 19 days til DD. My DH is unfortunately unemployed & my last day of work is tomorrow. So to say that we're on a tight budget is an understatement.

What do we do for our Mothers for Mothers day? We're beyond broke & expecting our LO, & not going to have $ anytime soon, with maternity leave disability checks.

    Ummm ... buy her a cute pot of flowers with a note, get her a card, go print out a favorite pic of you two and put it in a cute frame (go to Marshalls or TJ Max), or bake her a bunch of flower shaped sugar cookies with pastel colored frosting (then bag it up really cute with a ribbon and note).

    All cheap options. It's the thought that counts!

    Are they (mothers) local?  Cook a yummy brunch!  No need to go crazy.

    We're tight on money too.  We're just going to my mom's for breakfast and to dinner with DH's family for his mom.  Maybe just a card and flowers or something.  It's your mom, she understands!

    We are also a bit tight on money ATM since I have been on bed rest unexpectedly for the past 9 weeks.  We just got each of our mothers a $1.00 card and tucked in an u/s picture.  They both live out of state and so they haven't had the chance to really see the pictures clearly.

    i love giving great memorable gifts, but right now i am so broke and still saving for my $250 deductable! ive got 3 mamas i have to buy for. i splurged and bought nice halmark cards and mailed them to the mamas far away. for my mama: card, me cooking a cheaper dinner, $15 cake from sams club.

     you can def go cheaper on the cards if needed. the DG aka dollar general has a great selection of cards for $1 or .50c.  and the cards dont have $1 printed as the price on the back. so the price you pay is btwn you and the cashier. 

     

    for my husbands mama i also made a corsage and mailed it so she could wear to church this sunday.
