While you are working on your contest entry, like this post and then tell us what you're doing for Mother's Day! I'm going to give away one bumGenius One-Size Organic All-In-One to random commenters all weekend!
I'll start... for Mother's Day, my mom and dad are going to be visiting us. I'm sitting in the basement next to the bed they will be sleeping in. As I type this, I'm realizing that I can't remember the last time that I spent Mother's Day with my mom. It might have been the year that I left home (and I was 17). I'm really looking forward to spending some time with her this weekend.
So, what are you doing?
I plan on sleeping in, then going for a long walk/jog with my son and dog. After that, lunch out with my mom and family. Definitely no cleaning!
ReplyDeleteOur first Mother's Day (last year) we spent bringing our daughter home from the NICU so this year we plan to celebrate by going out for a nice walk in the park and having brunch at a local fresh foods restaurant.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to the Dallas Arboretum, then the movies to see Babies!
ReplyDeleteThis year, Mother's day and my birthday are one in the same so I am really looking forward to spending some quality time with my hubby and 3 little ones! We have no specific plans other than going to church in the morning. Tonight, my hubby will be taking me to a special dinner and tomorrow my parents will be driving in to spend the day. It should be a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteFor mothers day I will be moving into our new apartment and finishing projects as well as studying for finals...being a college mother is not the most fun :( Hope DH will do something, he did mention a candlelight walk in our local campus reserve :)
ReplyDeleteI really don't know... dropped the hint to my husband about breakfast in bed and no dish duty, but we'll have to see. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are going to plant our garden for mothers day :) I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteMother's Day this year will also be my son's 2nd birthday! We'll be celebrating him as well as mother's day with our families at my mom's house. Nothing like big family brunches! Then maybe a trip to the zoo for the little guy :)
ReplyDeleteSleeping in is my only request for Mother's Day. As a bonus, I get to attend an afternoon wine tasting with my mom and sister!
ReplyDeleteI REALLY wanted to go to the store and get some flowers for my pots on the porch, but its supposed to be very cold, so we may have to hold off until next weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis Mother's Day, I will be celebrating my daughter's 1st birthday. She was born last year on Mother's Day, so her birthday isn't actually until Monday. Two days of celebrating is always a good thing, though! When she was born, I thought to myself that no Mother's Day would ever compare to my first. What better gift could a mom ask for than a perfectly healthy 9 lb baby?! But I know that spending this weekend celebrating the last wonderful year of my daughter's life, all of her accomplishments and growths, will be even better!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first mother's day and one I am so grateful for, as last year at this time, I was saving up for IVF. I plan on loving up my little one and my husband and contacting my friends who continue to struggle with their fertility.
ReplyDeletePlanning and pulling off luncheon for our mothers and families. It's more important to me that our Moms feel special on that day than I do.
ReplyDeleteI already celebrated with my mom last week by going out to lunch while my sister was in town, so I am planning on just relaxing and hopefully getting a cute homemade card from my 2-year-old...maybe I should drop another hint to her daddy!
ReplyDeleteThis mother's day we are heading in to Boston for the Duckling Day Parade. It's held on Mother's Day every year and is based on the book "Make Way for Ducklings". The parade is made up of little ones dressed as their favorite character from the book along with their family as they trace the same route through Boston that the duck family takes in the book.
ReplyDeleteAfterwards we'll probably head over to Mike's Pastry for some yummy cannolis!
My awesome Sister-in-law (who is not a mommy yet) will be hosting a cookout for all three mommas (me, my mom, and mother in law) We've been told we are NOT allowed to cook, only come and sit by the pool and eat! It will be a great, relaxing day!
ReplyDeletefor mothers day this year: we're having a b-b-q tonight with a group of friends then on sunday its church and lunch there I think. then maybe a nap, a walk to look at the gardens and maybe if my husband is nice he'll put the kids to bed for me. I may even get a moment to re-paint my finger nails.:}
ReplyDeleteFor Mother's Day I we will be spending the day at my parents house. We always spend Sundays over there after church. The kids will be outside playing, hopefully if it's not raining. My husband and Dad will make dinner and Mom and I will get to just RELAX! :)
ReplyDeleteJust staying at home with my family! My DH will probably make breakfast and dinner - yeah! - and I get to listen to my 3 year old son sing in church with the other kids for their moms!
ReplyDeleteNewfiemum is our first diaper winner! Congratutulations Newfiemum! Please send your email address to Libby at cottonbabies dot com! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what we're officially doing for mother's day. This is will be the 1st yr in a few that I won't be traveling back from a wedding (yeppie!) I think a nice relaxing day with my little dude will be plenty for me.
ReplyDeleteNext year I have a wedding the Saturday before Mother's day again. So I know what I'll be doing next Mother's day
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to spend Mother's Day with my mom (she lives in MI, I'm in IL), but this will be my first Mother's Day as a mommy myself! My husband works a lot of weekends, although he has this weekend off so my husband, son and I will go to church Sunday morning and then just spend time together the rest of the day. If the weather is nice, we will probably go to the park and maybe dinner out. Just a relaxing weekend with the fam! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be spending the day with my 3 lovely daughters and my father. My Father raised my as a single Dad along with my Grandma (his mother). She passed away last Feb 2009. My father and I don't have a Mother to celebrate so we celebrate together now. It's a day to appreciate my Dad who was not only Dad but he played the Mom role as well. Not only does he still play Dad & Mom to me he does the same for my daughters even though they have both parents. I'm so very thankful for my Dad being one of the few Dads who stepped up when my mother walked out on him and I. I'm not 100% sure what we will be doing since today is also my Dad's birthday... Something where we all can enjoy the family we do have.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt and I get together each year and have our oldest kids (they are both 12) cook breakfast for us. It's usually pretty gross, but we love it. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are going to church. I actually told DH I didn't want him spending any money on me for Mother's Day, because I've been spending so much on diapers for our little bundle of joy due in June... and I enjoyed that more than random gifts! We will go out to eat the day before, and he will cook us all dinner that evening. Probably clean the kitchen up, too. Yay!
ReplyDeleteEvery year on Mother's Day for as long as I can remember my whole family (and then some) would get together at my mom's house. We would have a big pot-luck style lunch and then spend the afternoon playing games and just hanging out. This year for the first time we aren't getting together on Mother's Day. My brother is graduating college so my mom decided to throw him a party on Saturday and skip the Mother's Day lunch. The whole family will still be together so it will still be special.
ReplyDeleteSo, for the first time in 7 years we get to spend the entire day with my in-laws. I don't think my mother-in-law knows we will be able to be there all day. She is going to be very surpirsed!
The holidays have become harder since our son was born because we feel like we have to rush off to be somewhere else. This Mother's Day the best gift I will get is not having to decide how to split time between both sides of the family.
We are headed to the beach tomorrow for an early Mother's Day outing! I love the beach and my boys love the beach, everybody wins!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be going to church, then taking some family pictures (that was my Mother's day gift request), then packing up to travel and see MY mom (and family) later in the week.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first Mother's Day with my daughter outside of my belly. :) I'll be singing in church in the morning and then meeting up with the in-laws to take my MIL hanging basket shopping (it's our annual tradition), and then to an early dinner at my favorite local restaurant. A full day with the fam...I only wish MY mom lived closer so she could come too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. It's my first Mother's Day and I was told to keep the day free. My husband is not one for surprises or romance so I'm pretty excited that he (and Miles I'm sure at 11 months) thought of me.
ReplyDeleteMy husband didn't do anything for my first mother's day. I'm still not real happy with him for that. This year we will visit my mom again, and I plan to ask my husband to at least let me hang out in bed for a few more minutes on Saturday morning (tomorrow) and ask him to get her diaper changed and breakfast started before I have to get up, since Sunday we will be traveling, EARLY.
ReplyDeleteI will be at my mother's house, spending time with her and my little man!!! We will most likely go out for lunch, as long as my lo is being good :p
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!
We're living with my in-laws for the time-being. (We had been living across the country from ALL of our family and wanted to be closer as we started a family of our own... this was the temporary solution.) We are building an apartment above their garage, but things have not gone exactly "according to plans." SO... we will be FRANTICALLY working on the apartment in order to get it done and get moved in before our little one makes his/her big debut!
ReplyDeleteWe are having a BBQ on Saturday to break in our new house and deck. and then going for a bike ride on the green belt with the kiddos on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThis Sunday we will be washing our daughter's new clothes and new diapers to make sure we are ready for her arrival. I can't think of a better way to spend a Mother's day.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday with a grillout. Maybe seeing the movie Babies, if I can convince my husband.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend for Mother's Day, I'm going to ask my hubby to let me sleep in. Although I'll end up awake when my son decides to wake up (usually before 7), it's nice to just lay in bed, undisturbed for a while. We'll end up having breakfast at home. Then, lunch is at a local Italian restaurant with my extended family (my grandma and mom will be there). Next we'll be off to my in-laws house for a visit. For dinner, my hubby will be grilling us some yummy steaks and shrimp! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are taking a drive to a small town about an hour away for breakfast and lots of photos! My three favorite things: my family, food and photography! I can't wait :-)
ReplyDeleteMy parent's, in-laws, grandparents and brother will all be celebrating with us as we dedicate our 5-month-old son to the Lord and ourselves to raising him in the Lord. After the dedication service we will be having a BBQ at our house to celebrate moms.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. Hubby may surprise me. But hopefully its nice out so we can go have a picnic on Sunday. Other then that I have no idea other then family time.
ReplyDeleteMy husband has drill, so we're spending the whole weekend in the barracks on base. I'll be spending Sunday packing up the car and trying to find something interesting for me and my son to do (for the 6 hours between checkout and the time my husband gets out of work) before we can make the drive home.
ReplyDeleteBut, my husband mentioned to the girl who checks us in at the barracks that I was here and it's going to be Mother's Day, so she put us in the officer's barracks. The cute thing about that is that we were in this exact same room 3 years ago (well, the Mother's Day weekend 3 years ago) when I found out I was pregnant. I teared up a little, and my husband just laughed at me. :o)
We'll be spending a quiet day at home. My husband is planning to make lunch for me (with the help of our 2 year old).
ReplyDeleteHe usually works on Sunday evenings, but he's not working! Yay!
es1237 at gmail dot com
We will be going out for dinner to celebrate my b-day which just so happens to be the same day!
ReplyDeleteWe will be attending a street fair. Hoping it doesnt rain and shopping for flowers! sbmock at g Mail DOT com
ReplyDeleteI love to garden, so for mother's day my husband is taking us all (myself, our two young daughters, and our soon-to-be-born son) to an enormous plant sale to buy some vegetable plants for our garden! It's become sort of a tradition since Mother's day is right at the start of the growing season here for us. If it's not raining, we may dig in the dirt a bit and plant some things--my perfect idea of a mother's day well spent! :)
ReplyDeleteThis will be the second mother's day for me as a mom! We are going to spend a good family weekend together. We plan to go to the local farmer's market, then an art show on Saturday. On Sunday, we are going to my mom's house, going to hear my sister speak at church and then lunch with the family. Looking forward to some good family time and beautiful weather!
ReplyDeleteWe're going out for brunch in the morning and then will probably take the kids to the park in the afternoon. The kids make gifts at preschool...my five-year-old wanted to tell me what he had made me. I explained I really wanted it to be a surprise and he told me I should just forget what it was after he told me. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is always "my" weekend. My birthday is May 10th so its always my weekend to be spoiled by my husband. This year is really emotional for me. A friend's baby girl who was 2 weeks older than my baby (9months today!) died from a rare liver tumor in January. In the morning on Sunday we are going to bring the family a bright pink butterfly bush and a card to honor baby Jamie.
ReplyDeleteThis is also the first Mother's Day without my mom. She died 13 days before Riley Jane was born (my mom was Janet Lee, Ri is named for her) and to be honest, I'm kind of having a hard time thinking about mother's day as a celebration this year. Its just really hitting home that I won't have a picture of my mom holding Riley like I do of my other kids and its just hard. So likely while I am enjoying my children and having key lime pie (my mom's favorite treat) in honor of my mom, I will be shedding some tears and missing her like mad.
I know, I'm Debbie downer today. Sorry. Tough week.
Well my mother's day starts today, my husband works Sunday-Thursday, So we are going to lunch with the kids today. Tomorrow we are having a bar b que with my family & Sunday going to breakfast with my husband's family. Happy mother's day mamas!!!
ReplyDeletethis mothers day (my first as a mom!) we are having a big family brunch at my parent house and probably doing some gardening. hope the weather is good!

For Mother's Day, I'll be helping the 2 and 3 year olds at church make cards for their mommies. Then I'll enjoy time with my children and husband in the afternoon. I think my husband is planning a special dinner because he went grocery shopping on his own last night and there are wrapped packages in the fridge. :)
ReplyDeleteWe will all go to church as a family. Probably eat dinner out. And just enjoy the day. Happy mothers day to you great moms out there!
ReplyDeleteWe'll go to church and then go to my grandparents for lunch...it's the same thing we do every Sunday...I love my family!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first Mother's Day. We will start the day by going to church and getting our picture taken with our 4-month-old girl (mother's day photos are a yearly tradition at our church), and then my husband thoughtfully made reservations for brunch at the Hilton. We'll see how that goes with our daughter! I usually spend the day with my mom, but she was quite understanding about the fact that this day if for me too now!
ReplyDeleteWe (meaning me) haven't decided yet, b/c my Hubby is working all day and I don't think my parents will be visiting. I am trying to thing of a nice brunch spot for me and the munchkin that won't be ridiculously busy!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, church for sure...maybe Chinese food after?
ReplyDeleteWe are hosting my husband's family at our new home....these plans were made 7 weeks ago WHEN I HAD JUST GIVEN BIRTH and my husband called his brother to announce baby Jake's arrival..."Hey we're having Mother's Day at our house, ok?" my husband says and I say "whatever, I'm kind of busy here!"
ReplyDeleteI'll be going to church and then just cuddling my hubby and two littles the rest of the day. We just found out, (unexpectedly!) That #3 is on the way. I've been so sick and all I can eat is mashed potatoes. My sweet hubby always cooks me a big fancy meal for mother's day. He asked what I wanted this year, and he wasn't surprised with my answer. . . .Lots and lots of mashed potatoes!! I am so grateful for these little ones that call me Mama!! ;)
ReplyDeletejenny389@juno.com
I am going to sleep in. My husband will get up with the 1 year old and 5 year old. Then we will head Downtown for Lunch and maybe a Musseam Trip.
ReplyDeletemscarlydanceatgmaildotcom
Last year we celebrated good news, and this year I'm spending my first Mother's day as a mom with my dad, grandparents, and little girl. We're gong out to dinner on Saturday, then I'm sleeping in late with baby and her dad on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteMy Mother's Day will be spent with my babies, and probably my mom, who lives right behind me.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to spending this Mother's Day with my beautiful 17 month old daughter and wonderful husband. We most likely will just be spending the day at home, enjoying each others company. Forcast is calling for snow! Mother's Day had always been hard for me, since losing my mother 13 1/2 years ago, but since the birth of my daughter, things have changed, and I look at it as a wonderful day knowing that I am completely blessed.
ReplyDeleteI let my husband and kids surprise me on Mother's Day, so I can't really say for sure. They usually cook me breakfast in bed. My husband takes diaper duty all day long, and he cleans the house and my car for me. As long as I'm with my family for a relaxing day, I don't care what we do. Oh, and of course I get to sleep in too.
ReplyDeleteOoops! My url wasn't connected.....Comment just above this one. :)
ReplyDeleteI will be celebrating my first mother's day! We will go to church and then go out to lunch with my in-laws! And then hopefully the hubs will cook dinner and give me a footrub :)
ReplyDeleteI will be calling my mom and grandmothers, but other than that I don't have any slid plans. This will be my first Mother's day and I really don't know what to expect. I'll be happy with a lazy day cuddling my husband, daughter, and puppies!
ReplyDeleteI get to sing at church this Mother's Day! Then I plan on making some "healthy" baskets to give to my mom, mother-in-law and step mom. I'll bake some healthy treats and maybe include some recipes too!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first mother's day as a mother as well to a sweet little girl 3/22. We plan to go to church, hopefully take a nap when we get home, and then go to my MIL's for supper--which I'm not allowed to cook for. =) DH wants to take me out to eat as well but it will be a different day than Sunday.
ReplyDeleteIt will be low profile around here. We'll go to church Sunday morning and serve other mothers by working in the nursery, then home for lunch and naps (maybe one for mom, too), and then celebrating mothers with our small group from church. Spending the day with hubby and the kiddos is enough gift for me. But we might do lunch or dinner out on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to spend Mother's Day with my husband and adorable 18 month old son. My plan (weather permitting) is to go to the zoo and then work on our family garden!
ReplyDeleteI am spending Mother's Day with my mother in law and family, she is throwing me a baby shower!
ReplyDeleteSleeping in tomorrow, church on Sunday, and the rest of the weekend is wide open for whatever I want to do - this is my second Mother's Day and I'm now convinced it's one of the best days of the year :)
ReplyDeleteI am very excited for Mothers Day this year! My oldest 2 are participating in relay races the day before so we will be spending the whole day cheering them on and on Sunday we will be attending church and have the missionaries from our church over for family dinner that evening. It should be a weekend of family fun and my youngest hinted at a fun surprise I have yet to hear about!
ReplyDeleteMy first "Mother's Day" was 14 years ago. My oldest daughter turned 14 today. I wake her up every year on her birthday with a birthday cake made just for her regardless of parties scheduled at other times. Today I picked her up from school for a lunch date together before returning her back to her regular routine of volleyball practices and band rehearsals. My first "Mother's Day" I didn't feel like a mother at all, I had just given birth, and didn't yet relate to what a Mother's Day was supposed to be. Now, every year Mother's day is the day I get to celebrate really becoming a mother, and how the birth of my daughter was the biggest definition of that. Mother's Day for me is really about the precious lives I have been a part of, and the honor I feel to be that person in my daughter's lives.
ReplyDeleteJust the usual...cooking cleaning dishes laundry ec
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are taking my mom out to brunch and we're bringing the baby along.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have many plans (that I know of...maybe my dh and lo will surprise me) but we will go see my mom after she gets out of work on Sunday and potentially bring her dinner and a little something to say, "Thanks for being so great!"
ReplyDeleteI am going to be praying that I go into labor so I can put all those wonderful new BG 3.0s to use with our first baby!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to our local goat farm (me, my daughters, my mom and her mom) for their spring festival to play with the goats tomorrow! Should be fun. Maybe church on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThis Mother's Day I will be studying for my final exams next week. I am a stay at home Mom of an amazing 15 month old, with number two on the way. I attend law school in the evenings so that I can help provide a better future for my family. So, I will really be spending it grateful for the health and happiness of my family. . . and looking forward to our future!
ReplyDeleteJenny @ 2:43 --- you just won a bumGenius Organic One-Size AIO!! Please send your email address to libby at cottonbabies dot com so we can get your diaper out to you... have a great Mother's Day (the goat farm sounds like a ton of fun)!
ReplyDeleteMy 1 year old and I made mothers day cards for all the grandparents this morning. There is nothing exciting planned that I know of but as long as I get to spend the day with my daughter and husband I will be happy. Ooooh maybe I will sew too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the beautiful weather! Be it the zoo, park, or just our backyard, we will be outside!!
ReplyDeleteWe're spending tomorrow with my mother and my mother-in-law, and Sunday is my first Mother's Day! I'm hoping the mister has planned something special! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have a relaxing day at home (and hopefully outside) with my family! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI will be going to church and then having my inlaws over for dinner.
ReplyDeleteHopefully spending some time with my mom and my 1yr old daughter, going to church for a special mother's day service and relaxing!
ReplyDeleteI am unfortunately not doing anything for mother's day. I am going to feed my mom's cats while she is out of town. Boo. That is so depressing.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not sure yet what we'll be doing. I might go see the Babies movie and there's a concert in the park on Sunday evening. I have a 6 month old nursling who won't take bottles or milk from a cup so my "me time" is limited, but that's okay because I know this won't be forever!
ReplyDeleteWe're visiting with my parents and my grandma on Sunday. DD is excited!
ReplyDeleteIt's my very first mother's day!!! I'm so excited to celebrate with my husband and baby girl. He's got the day planned and is keeping it a surprise :)
ReplyDeleteMy family will be going with my Mom to a local petting zoo and then bbqing at our house. It's become a fun tradition for all of us :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is out of town for two weeks, but will be coming home for the weekend. We are hosting brunch at our house with our three beautiful kids, my mom and sisters and their significant others.
ReplyDelete--Kelly K.
I'll be going to my mom's house with my kids and husband. We'll take the girls to the park near her house (a favorite of ours) and I'll get a precious mocha (don't have many of those now that I'm breastfeeding).
ReplyDeleteMy husband is working, boo! So my mom and I are taking my 3 kids ages 5,4, and 1 to visit my little sister in her college town about an hour away. We're going to brunch, a walk around a lake, and I'm definitely visiting the local cloth diaper store "Simple Cloth". Maybe I'll get to treat myself and my little one to a new diaper, or two...
ReplyDeleteI actually celebrated Mother's day with my mom today! We went shopping and ate some Chinese! It was a nice relxing visit, and the best part was she forgot her cell phone at home so I had her all to myself for once! :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what we will be doing. It is my first Mother's Day and my husband it not saying a word. Whenever I bring up the fact that it is Mother's Day this weekend he just looks at me and goes oh yea that is this weekend. But even if we don't do anything it will be so much fun just to spend the day together since my husband has been working overtime on most weekends and he will have this one off.
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any plans for Mothers' Day yet, but I am sincerely hoping it will be a day where I don't have to do any cooking or changing of diapers!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first Mothers Day as a mother. We don't have big plans. The best gift would be an extra hours sleep while DH gives our 11 month old twin girls breakfast.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is deployed, but my daughter and I are going to go sit on the beach and make sand castles and then come home to a totally backwards dinner starting with dessert first.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting exactly what I asked for - a meal I DON'T have to cook! :) Other than that, spending the day with my other half and our crazy toddler.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to hang out with my hubby and keep waiting to go into labor!!
ReplyDeleteWe may go to our local carnival "Rooster Days." I also requested lots of naps. :)
ReplyDeleteWe're going to my mother-in-law's house to celebrate Mother's Day, since my mom lives in FL.
ReplyDeleteI'm due in August, and I'm hoping that my husband will surprise me with something on Sunday morning. I'm too chicken to talk to him about it, but I feel like I'm already a mom even though I haven't given birth yet.
My husband is getting off of work early and we are going to brunch with our 20 month old son, my mom, and my sister. Then the rest of the day I get to relax and not worry about poopy diapers! :-)
ReplyDeleteFor Mother's Day, and my birthday (the 8th) we are taking a long weekend and visiting my wonderful Grandmother in Olympia, WA. Wish I could be with my own mother in So Cal but its just too far!
ReplyDeleteI actually have no clue what we are doing for Mother's Day... but I get to celebrate 2 mother's days b/c my son was born in Costa Rica and is a citizen and they celebrate in August... Oh, the perks of cross cultural living! I suspect my husband has a little something planned. :)
ReplyDeleteI will be celebrating my 1st mother's day at a fundraiser dinner at my church. Sunday I will be spending the afternoon (between church services) with my husband and daughter! And hopefully I'll get a nap!
ReplyDeleteDH and DD are taking me, my mom and MIL out to a nice brunch. Being 35 weeks pregnant with #2, I can't do much more than sit and eat :-) It will be nice to see both our moms.
ReplyDeleteHopefully giving birth!!! Having a homebirth, and so excited about it... I was due on May 6... have been having some contractions here and there... Had my first baby on Labor Day, so it would be fitting I have this second baby on Mother's Day ;-D
ReplyDeleteWe will go to church and then just hang out and enjoy being around eachother :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little sad that my mom is spending her first mothers day alone. The last few years I have been able to visit, but this year money is tight. Her babies have grown up and moved away. My brother and his wife are stationed over on the west coast in Cali, and my husband and I are stationed over here on the ease coast in NC. Hopefully next year we can surprise her! This year is my second mothers day, and I am 8 months pregnant. Hopefully my hubby will wake up with our 1 year old and let me sleep in!!! (That'll be the day.. lol!)
ReplyDeletefor mother's day i am taking my 3 daughter's to the lake for a picnic.
ReplyDeleteWe're heading to my mother-in-laws house Saturday to enjoy some time with the kids' grandparents and great-grandma! Luckily, my husband is home right now, which is so nice as he was gone for Navy training last year for Mother's Day.
ReplyDeletewe will be spending a nice, low-key weekend together as a family. my husband and i are going out with some friends tonight, and we have absolutely no plans for tomorrow (which i think is so fantastic). sunday we are headed to my in-laws to celebrate with my husband's family. my boys are still really little (2 1/2 and 5 months), so just having my husband around on the weekend is the best mother's day gift :)

I will be spending the day with my 3 kids. My son has a soccer game in the morning and then we don't have any plans for the rest of the day, just sitting at home and enjoying eachother and maybe do a little baking with the kids! Whatever we do it will be special.
ReplyDeleteI get to spend the day with out any cooking! Hurray!!
ReplyDelete(granted there will be house work that will be waiting until Monday, lol)
I'm looking foward to spending time with my 2 boys, my husband,and my mom and dad. I'm so lucky that we can all be together! Family is the most important thing in my life and I'm thankful for everyday that I have with them! I can't wait for sunday it's going to be a real fun day!
ReplyDeleteI have to split my weekend into fun and work.
ReplyDeleteNext weekend our subdivision is having a yard sale. I'm going to price my items to get ready for that.
As for fun, I'm not sure. The hubby has a surprise! I can't wait!
MY hubby and I are taking our 11 month old and going to spend the day at the zoo. It should be alot of fun! Its my first mothers day and I just wanted to spend time with my little family doing something fun. I think we picked the perfect activity. I cant wait!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to Virginia to meet up with my mom, and surprise my 85 year old grandmother by taking her out to lunch at her favorite restaurant. She's in a nursing home and doesn't get out much, but she will LOVE seeing her great-grandbabies!!
ReplyDeleteIt's my first Mother's Day as a mommy! We are going to my grandma's and all helping to make breakfast! Yeah for Mommies!
ReplyDeleteWe are spending it with family at my parents... throwing in celebrating my husbands birthday too :) A yummy meal and family time are the ticket!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I'm doing for Mother's Day. Truthfully, I never know what we're doing until the last possible minute. Because that's the way we roll here. I'd love to say I was going home to be with my mom, but we're all too worn out around here and need some major "down time." I'm thinking we'll go to church as usual and then perhaps,if I'm lucky, we'll go out for lunch. Relaxation is a wonderful gift!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're celebrating with my parents, brother & sister-in-law & our children. And, hopefully I'll be able to sleep until I wake up on my own!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to my very first Mother's Day! For Mother's Day I will be spending the day with my husband and our baby boy! We will probably go to the park and walk around a bit, maybe go to the pool, and make a nice dinner. Wish we could visit my mother and mother in law but we live so very far away!
ReplyDeleteOn Mother's Day, I'll be at church in the morning getting to see Baby Dedication that I helped to plan. Then we'll come home (hopefully take a nap) and spend the day with my son and husband and then visit our parents in the evening.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to spend the morning with my three girls and than we are going to see my mom and my husbands mom and than we will go out to eat.
ReplyDeleteI will be spending my first official Mother's Day with my husband and our beautiful baby girl, Penelope! I'm just hoping for a nice, quiet day of snuggling with my lovies :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to sleep in a bit and then later Mommy & daughter pictures!! Since this is my first mother's day I'm thinking about planting a tree or a plant that my daughter and I can have our picture taken by every year!
ReplyDeleteFor Mother's Day we're having our daughter dedicated at church! :) Then we will have family over afterward for cake and lunch.
ReplyDeleteRELAXING! On Sunday that is. I am starting the weekend by going out with some great ladies for dinner. This is significant because I never go out without kids, especially for something fun! Tomorrow we will volunteer as a family, planting a community garden at our church, which provides food for our food pantry. Hopefully Sunday will bring calm, rest, and appreciation of all the beautiful things surrounding me, especially my children!
ReplyDeleteWe will be going to church first thing and then maybe out to breakfast! Not sure what other surprises my guys have in store for me!!
ReplyDeleteIt's my first mother's day! :o) So my mom is coming to visit and we are going to share our first mother's day as a grandma and mom. We are planting a magnolia tree to celebrate the beauty and growth of a mother's love.
ReplyDeleteGoing to my husband's concert.
ReplyDeleteWe are not doing much but relaxing. I am excited as it is a day to do what I want which is nothing. YEAH!
ReplyDeleteSeeing how I woke up this morning with the flu, I think I'll be spending my weekend in bed. If I'm lucky, my wonderful husband will take care of our daughter and maybe I'll be feeling well enough to read my book.
ReplyDeleteI am celebrating my first mother's day first with my husband and 9 month old son... apparently they have a surprise planned for the three of us! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteActually this may be weird to most people but I would like a couple hours with the house to myself on mother's day! I figure a couple in the morning while my hubby takes them to the part will enable me to clean out my mind a little...and be able to take on the rest of the day. The perfect day to me would be to just let the girls play and goof around in the backyard and have my husband BBQ something that night.He always does awesome dinners...so anything with him cooking is great to me! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, this Mother's Day will be a little different...not necessarily for our family in particular...but in our city! We live in Nashville, TN, and although much of the world is just being introduced to the fact that we had a major flood here this week, Nashville is beginning to put pieces back together! Today, my friend and I took our almost 2 and almost 1 yr. olds out and decided to help where we could. We started at the Farmers Market and then made our way to an area of town where there was severe flooding in a residential area. As we saw the devastation of seeing house after house with pieces of their homes and lives being stacked up on the sidewalk for the garbage truck to carry away, I was profoundly reminded how much importance we put sometimes on material things and how quickly that can all disappear! So this Mother's Day, I will be extra grateful for the blessings in my life..the ones that mean the most...my family...both immediate and the one in my community!

ReplyDeleteGrilling in the backyard and swimming in our new pool!
ReplyDeleteI'm sleeping in that morning, then we'll just go out for dinner :)
ReplyDeleteWe are going to my MIL's for lunch and my hubby is taking me shopping for flowers for the garden. Its become our tradition =)
ReplyDeleteWe're going to spend Mother's Day with my In-laws this year. But on Saturday, we are all doing a 5K as a family! My husband is a runner, and I've been desperately trying to learn not to hate running, lol. So it will be MY first 5K, and for all four of my kids it will be their first as well. We're just doing the walk, since I have a 7 month old and a 3 year old, and they need to go in strollers, BUT, they will get to wear a number bib! :)
ReplyDeleteWe're hitting the zoo and feeding the giraffes! And I've been promised a day in the next week to shop at the fabric store minus kids and sew as much as I want. But I think the zoo with the kids and hubby will be the best!
ReplyDeleteTrying this for a third time - it doesn't seem to be working!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending my hubby to his mom for Mother's Day! Every year he works away from home for a number of weeks. We will attend church, have a quiet dinner at home while he packs, then take him to the airport.

We are going to church, then to the restaurant of my choosing for lunch. Then I am relaxing and spending time with my little guy and my hubby.
ReplyDeleteWe will be having a picnic lunch at a local lake and then we'll be taking my son to his soccer practice. We'll also be going to the farmer's market and to the children's zoo tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first mother's day with my little girl who is 4 months old. Unfortunately, my husband has an exam on Monday morning so I think that we will have a mellow day. I'm planning on taking my daughter to a bakery in the morning to get some treats.
ReplyDeleteWe're heading to church, out to eat & then I'm hoping for a simultaneous nap from the girls so I, too, can snooze!
ReplyDeleteSaturday some of my other mother friends and I are going out to dinner, sans kids. On Mother's Day I'm sleeping in a little bit, which I dearly need. We're going to the movies in the afternoon with the boys, and hopefully it will be warm enough outside for some outdoor fun. My oldest (4 yo) told me he wanted to get me a beautiful ring. :)
ReplyDeleteI think we may be going out for breakfast, and then possibly to the park. My husband said we're definitely getting out of the house this weekend, though! He's been studying for his ASE Certification exams all month, and we haven't had any family time AT ALL. He took the exams yesterday, so we're FREEEEE!!! We WILL be doing something fun!!
ReplyDeletei am celebrating this mothers day which is my first with my family( my mom and sister)we are making brunch together on Saturday then i am not sure what my hubby has planned for sunday but iam sure it will be something good. He is always surprising me.
ReplyDeleteHey Christina Pond @ 3:09.... you won yourself a bumGenius diaper!! Email libby at cottonbabies dot com with your contact information. Congratulations, mama! I hope your baby is born safely and easily at home on Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteWe will just be taking it easy and going to church. I think my husband was going to cook for the day and let me sleep in a bit. I'm sure he's got something else up his sleeve, but I'm really looking forward to relaxing and just spending time with my husband and out son Andrew! He's such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be moving in to our new house! We are due in less than three weeks with baby 2 and have been working on building our house all year...this will be a mother's day I could not forget!
ReplyDeleteI plan on spending the day with my husband and my baby girl playing outside and enjoying the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to a birthday party on Saturday and then on Sunday are dedicating our daughter at church with a small reception at our house afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI am newly pregnant (with my first) and wondering if my husband will think to tell me happy mother's day! haha.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first mothers day and it's just me and my beautiful baby girl. Lily(my daughter) and I are having a relaxing picnic down by the river. All I need this mothers day is my little angel baby : )
ReplyDeleteWe are spending the day with 3 generations of Mothers!! Having homemade spaghetti sauce!
ReplyDeleteSpending most of the day with the kiddos, my Mother-in-Law and Grandmother-in-Law. Monday we're going to the zoo which has been our Mothers' Day tradition in the past but it's just to busy now so we've moved it back a day. :D
ReplyDeletewe're going to brunch with my mother in law, and grandmother in law! there'll be 3 moms and 4 generations celebrating ;)
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law came into town yesterday and we are going to have a good meal on Sunday together. She is getting to know her new grandaughter Lilly :)
ReplyDeleteWe are going to have our son Jayce dedicated at church in the morning, then a cookout with friends/family and just spending time with my little ones
ReplyDeleteMy mom is out of town :-(
ReplyDeleteBut I'm looking forward to spending Sunday with my husband and 2 girls. Don't know what we're doing yet, but I hope it involves yummy food!
The 6 of us are going out to eat with both sets of grandparents and then out to see a movie! I will NOT be doing any housework at all, no matter what!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom, my MIL, and I all decided we are exhausted and all just want a day in our own homes to ourselves! Haha! We were all thinking it but I was the first one (at 35 weeks pregnant) to open my mouth! We figure once the baby arrives we'll all be together anyway - so we'll celebrate then. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that this is my first mothers day I get to spend with my husband and wonderful little girl.
ReplyDeleteSomething simple, like muffins and tea in the park. I'm a week from my due date with my second babe ... hanging out with my little family outside on a beautiful morning sounds just about perfect.
ReplyDeleteWe will probably take my Mom out to brunch & then spend the day with her.
ReplyDeleteI am going to spend it with my daughter who just came home from the hospital today with our new grandson, Racer!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are spending Mother's Day working on the nursery for the new baby we have due in a few weeks. I can't wait to get our other children involved in preparing for the new baby; hopefully it will become more real for them. I can't think of a better way to spend Mother's Day than preparing for our expanding family!
ReplyDeleteCounty Park! Lots of trails and big playground :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are going to spend Mother's day with my family. And my son gets to meet his Great Great Grandma for the first time. And I'm super excitied for this. Lots of fun times!!
ReplyDeleteWe're staying home just the three of us, and testing cupcake recipes for my daughter's upcoming first birthday! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm spending Saturday with my husband's family (at his grandma's house) and Sunday with my family.
ReplyDeleteWe are going on a picnic with the whole family. My very first mother's day! yay!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to the MN Zoo - unless the weather doesn't hold up, then I expect a nice day of relaxation at home!
ReplyDeletebreakfast in bed and then a trip to the park

I'm going to be presented with a mothers day present that my toddler picked out all by herself, and is super proud of, and my husband warned me that he couldn't dissuade her from-- a pink potty!
ReplyDeleteFor Mother's Day this year, we (my husband, children and parents) are all heading out to eat after church. Then it will be rest time at home with nothing to do except enjoy each others company.
ReplyDeleteHaving a bridal shower for my best friend and then celebrating with my daughter and husband....
ReplyDeleteAfter church we will go to lunch with my mom and mother in law. I am so blessed that all of the family gets along and we can all go together!! Then we will likely take a trip to the pet store to get those new fish that were promised to my little girl!
ReplyDeleteI am spending the afternoon with my mom and two daughters at the nature center.
ReplyDeleteGoing for a hike with my husband & our 11 month old and then relaxing with a lovely meal he is cooking us! I can't wait for my first mother's day!
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but I think now it may be a bit of a Mother's/ Father's as we prepare for another cancer sugery for my Father-in-law. It's been a year since the last, and he is doing great! Cancer helps you learn to celebrate every day as Mother's and Father's, and families day! Every day as a blessing! So Sunday will be a Parents day for us, and will hopefully include someone other then me cooking lol!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we are going out to eat with my MIL and Sunday we are celebrating my mom's birthday and mother's day with a BBQ at my parents house.
ReplyDeleteMy mother and I have had 30 rough years. We never got along. In the past few weeks I have been feeling really bad about it, and have decided to do something to fix our relationship. We hardly ever talk, we aren't very connected. I have decided to propose a weekly get-together with her, and want to try to talk to her and get to know her better. This mother's day isn't so much about myself being a mother (although I do love that my husband and baby will celebrate me!), it's more about me doing something for my own mother, which is long overdue :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll be staying with my parents and celebrating my first Mother's Day with my family :)
ReplyDeleteWe are going to church and then out for lunch with my in laws. This is my first mother's day!
ReplyDeleteI am getting to experience my 1st mothers day. We are going to meet my parents for lunch. Then we are going to my mother in laws for a cookout. Eric has been cooking up some plan that I don't know about. I love surprises.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first mother's day! We're going to church, then having lunch with my mother. This will truly be the first mother's day where I understand why mother's deserve their own day!!!I just got a Flip camcorder for mother's day (early), and we'll be taking lots of videos with it! I think it's fun that my new diapers and my new camcorder are both called "Flip." I love them both!
ReplyDeleteI will be spending the day with my 7 month old and my hubby. My first Mother's Day will be a relaxing day at home with my two favorite boys (with lunch I don't have to make, of course!)
ReplyDeleteGoing to church. Other than that, I let my husband decide. So probably nothing out of the ordinary. We try to stay away from restaurants that day...
ReplyDeleteWe and the kiddo are spending Saturday at my in-laws, and then heading home on sunday because I have church nursery duty. 16 babies and two adults -- soooo exhausting. But one of them is mine :)
ReplyDeleteNothing too special, just going to church and relaxing with my husband and two kids. We'll probably be on the phone with our moms and families.
