It's the day moms wait for all year. The day devoted just to her! The day to eat burnt toast for breakfast in bed and maybe actually get a full five minutes alone in the bathroom after dinner. Just kidding. (Not really).
Mother's Day means different things to different people and this year, especially, it means a lot of gratitude for every mom who has worked from home, juggled child care, been on the front lines and hoped and helped loved ones near - and far away. And for some, this year means being a new mom. (Congratulations Chelsea!)
Whether you're a first time mom or you've earned that awesome title of both mom and grandmother... we celebrate you and all you do and all you want for you this Mother's Day.
Star 102's Jen Toohey, Liz Campbell and Chelsea Lyons shared their ideas of the perfect Mother's Day this year. Check out these awesome moms and their families and read their "Mother's Day Wish List" below:
"My perfect Mothers Day? Start with family brunch, head off to a 90 minute massage/spa day, meet up with my BFF for some late afternoon shopping/dinner. Head home for some quiet time to myself (where no one is asking for anything) and binge the new season of HANDMAID’S TALE! (With a giant bowl of popcorn, of course)"
"Every year on Mother's Day my son and I used to go exploring. Whether it was the zoo or botanitcal gardens or science centers. This year, we decided it was going to be a day at home devoted to anything mommy wanted to do. (Which, if you are a mom you know will quickly turn into doing all the things he wants me to do). ;) I honestly don't have a big wish list. I hope he remembered to ask grandma for help ordering me tulips and maybe he noticed I needed new slippers. But even if it's just he and I cuddling on the couch and watching Madagascar III for the twentieth time, that would be pretty awesome too."
"I am excited because this is my first mothers day as a mom! I think my ideal mothers day would be some baby cuddles in the AM, breakfast as a family, a few hours in the afternoon for a cat nap (Also no one asking for anything. Those moments are as valuable as gold haha) And then some time outdoors for the rest of the day. We love taking walks together, playing at the playground, and grilling out for dinner while listening to music. And of course, have the baby go to bed easily to wrap up the day lol :)"
