While the mother in your life may deserve to be jetted off to Paris or whisked away to a fancy restaurant to celebrate Mother’s Day, that’s just not in the cards this year due to COVID-19 stay at home orders. Not to mention grandma would love to see her grandkids, too! Here are a few ways to make Mother’s Day special!

We were preparing to go out of town to the grandkids house the next morning. It was a Thursday night, the 20 th of December 2012. However, one of the presents didn’t make it via FedEx in time and I was arranging with my neighbor to pick it up and hide it on my porch in a plastic trash bag.

Talk about costs of cooking vs eating out, see if they can guess how much the meal cost you to make and how much it would cost if you bought it at a restaurant. My grandkids were 6 and 3 and they really got into this! While you are eating supper. At McDonald’s. Let them buy their own meal (counting the change).

One of our son’s and his wife peeled out after touring Yellowstone, while our other son, wife and grandkids went with us to a few other destinations prior to heading home. Another time, my spouse and I took a Yellow Bus tour – sans kids or grandkids. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the same for all family units.
