Happy upcoming Mother’s Day to all of you other moms out there. Like me, you probably don’t really care if your husband and children give you anything special for this holiday. It’s more about celebrating being a part of a family and just enjoying being a mom.
That being said, I do have my little daydreams of what I’d love to receive from the family this year. If I could wave a magic wand and get myself a Mother’s Day gift, I’d be thrilled to receive one of the following things:
- An all-expenses paid yoga retreat vacation just for me. I adore my family but it’s been a long time since I had the opportunity to really enjoy a vacation all by myself. I wouldn’t want to go for long but it would definitely be a refreshingly wonderful treat.
- A handmade scrapbook of travel memories from the kids. Traveling is such an important part of what our family does that I’m always thrilled when I see what a big impact it has on the kids. I’d love to settle in with a scrapbook filled with their memories and transport myself to those times again.
- A photo collage of family travel pictures. This would be similar to the scrapbook but we could hang it up and see it every day. Maybe we could even add to it as we visited other places.
- Letters. I always love when the kids write me letters for the holidays. Don’t you?
The reality is probably going to be that I’ll get to sleep in, have breakfast in bed with everyone cuddled up to me and then luxuriate in a relaxing day at home with the family. That’s what we usually do. And the truth is that I can’t complain about that!!
I like giving gifts just as much as I enjoy receiving them. Mother’s Day approaching always makes me think about the fact that Father’s Day is coming up soon. Knowing that I’d love a vacation of my own, I’m thinking that perhaps I should try to find a cheap trip for my husband to take. Maybe I can find a deal for a cheap hotel in downtown Chicago where he’s been wanting to go for awhile. Or perhaps I can find a golf getaway that we can afford for him to go on by himself. I’ll definitely have to look into it.
Have a terrific Mother’s Day!
