Mother’s Day is right around the corner – it’s a special holiday to honor motherhood and honor the women and mother figures who have impacted our lives in one way or another.
For Mother’s Day, we often gift mothers to show our appreciation – but how about going beyond that this year?
How about making this Mother’s Day an experience?
There are a few Mother’s Day events happening in the CSRA for the perfect Mother’s Day experience.
Sometimes it’s not always about those tangible things, but more so spending time with those moms and continuing to make memories.
Choose an event or destination that is meaningful: Take into consideration your mom’s interests and possibly align the activity with that. If you know that your mom loves to cook but she just doesn’t get enough time to get home and do it. Schedule a cooking class or even better have a cooking class at home! Putting that thought into the activity is really what means the most to them.
Don’t forget to take pictures! If you’ve thought of this amazing experience and activity, don’t forget to capture the memories. If your mom is anything like mine she loves some pictures and videos. Those memories will last you both a lifetime.
End the day with relaxation! A lot of the times when you ask a mom what they want for Mother’s Day they jokingly say “to rest!” but I think that’s truly what they really would like.
Ending the day on a relaxing note gives you all the time to sit and think and reflect on the day. And to be thankful for the day.
Again the most important thing about Mother’s Day isn’t the gift, it’s the memories, and the gestures, and the time spent.
Here are some Mother’s Day Events happening in Augusta to make this holiday all about the experience!
