I'm making a cheat sheet for my husband. Kind of like the recipe for the perfect mothers day so he doesn't use the excuse 'I didn't know what to do so I just tried' and it looks last minute, and hes uncomfortable, and the 'celebrating' only lasts 5 minutes.
Here's my plan so far.
Gifts:
1 pint of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream (I've been dieting hard, a little bit of ice cream won't hurt... and I won't be eating it all in one day).
Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown
New pair of yoga shorts or a top.
Day:
All housework completed by Saturday so there aren't chores other than day to day things to do on Sunday.
Go grocery shopping as a FAMILY
A nice family walk, minimum 30 minutes!
A FAMILY PICTURE! Just one good one. It's about time.
What do you think? What is your plan for your day?
Re: Mother's Day Cheat Sheet.
DH just said today "what are we doing for Mother's Day?" I told him it was his job to figure it out. He's really not good with gifts. I don't know what to tell him I want. We'll see...
That's awesome!
I would have loved to hire someone but DH would never go for that and there aren't many good photographers around here.
I really don't get specific mother's day gifts. He in the past has taken Summer and Leah and allowed them to pick me up something. I got a mom ring last year.
I have a DH, if I mention that I like something, usually in a few months it's mine.
Recently a very expensive car seat showed up on my door. It goes back to me being a car seat addict. I now need to convince him that I need one more.
. I have fallen in love with it.
for the day, I would like to go to church, but spend the rest of the day at home, with the exception of a trip to the beach and BBQ steaks.
The plan so far is to go to church with my MIL and SIL - maybe lunch with them and other in-laws; dinner with my parents and brother
I already know what DH got me, but it most likely won't be here in time for mother's day. It's a baby book for DD. Yes, I know we're 9 months late. :
I sent DH a link to a necklace that I liked. Mothers day our wedding anniversary and my Birthday are all in the same week. Lucky DH!
I told him today that I would like to visit with our moms on Saturday so that just our little family can do something on Sunday. I am thinking going to the zoo, since I wanted to go this weekend and wasn't able to...
I also want to do this because I know that it will piss MIL off, she is not one of my favorite people....BIL already told her he is going out of town for the weekend and then if we do something just us on Sunday she will be pouting for a week! I know that is terrible but oh well!
My DH is good at this stuff, I would expect nothing less.
I'm banking on a new Michael Kors rose gold watch and brunch at the club so I don't have to mess up my kitchen for one day

I'm so jealous!
DH is going away with friends on a trip that we usually go on every year. Its a special event that only happens on specific days during the year so I didn't want to stop him from going. I'm staying home with DS since he's too young to go this year. So yup DH will not be home for my first Mother's Day. I told him he'd have to make it up to me.
I'll be going over MIL's house for brunch & then my sister's house later on.
