Especially after the fabulous past year we’ve all had, we are appreciating mom even more than we used to; and Mother’s Day is the day to show her how much you love her. So we here at Only In My Dreams have come up with a brief list of fun things to do to celebrate your mom.
1) Enjoy a virtual cooking class.
Make an elaborate meal for mom by attending a virtual cooking class. Mom can either get in on the fun, or she can enjoy the cooking shenanigans from the comfort of the couch. There are a number of virtual cooking classes available — start by checking out MasterClass, Craftsy, and Airbnb Online Experiences.
2) Make mom breakfast in bed.
An oldie but a goodie, breakfast in bed is a great way for mom to kickstart her Mother's Day celebration. Make breakfast as a family while mom sleeps, then present it to her along with her Mother's Day gifts and a funny Mother's Day card to truly make her day a special one.
3) Host a virtual Mother's Day celebration.
Just because you might not be able to safely celebrate Mother's Day via a large in-person celebration, doesn't mean that you or the moms in your life have to miss out on all the fun. You can host a virtual Mother's Day event via Zoom or Skype and bring the party to mom. You can play a fun game on Zoom, ask attendees to bake or buy a Mother's Day cake beforehand, and have Mom open up her Mother's Day presents in front of everyone.
4) Help mom in the garden.
May is the perfect month for Mom to start prepping her garden for summer. Get in on the action and help mom clean up her flower beds, plant seeds, and spruce up bushes. She'll no doubt appreciate you making some vegetable suggestions as well, knowing they'll end up on a dinner plate in the near future.
5) Sign mom up for a virtual baking class.
If your mom is more of a baker than a chef, sign her up for a virtual baking class on or around Mother's Day. You can either join in on the fun, or give mom the space for her to zen out and enjoy some baking"me time." You search for online baking classes at CozyMeal or MasterClass, or order Mom a baking subscription box from Whisk Takers.
