I'm not going to lie, 100 percent of the things on this list are things that I would love to do on Mother's Day this year (or any day, really), but I wanted to give you some ideas of what to do while we are (for the most part) stuck inside this year. I live where there aren't many people and it is fairly easy to keep social distance, some people are not able to do that, so, with the idea that the weather could be bad, or you live in an area that makes it difficult to go outside, I wanted to come up with some really fun things to do at home with your mom, grandma, aunt...(if you're able to be with her this year).
First up is an ice cream parlour in your house. You could set up a sundae bar (Ha! On Sunday), or you could have some fun with it and make a little sign and some decorations. You choose. If you're not able to get the ingredients that you need to be able to have an ice cream shop in your house, you can always play pretend and use playdough.
This is an incredibly fancy fort and way better than anything that I could come up with myself, but The Kitchn has a fantastic list of ideas to help you build the perfect indoor fort. Personally, I would set up the fort in the area where the television is with the intention of using it for a special place to watch a movie.
This one is a classic, but I feel it's necessary to add to the list. It is a simple idea that children can do on their own, or with a bit of help if they need it (depending on age), and a lovely gesture for mom...it's one less thing she has to do in the day. It doesn't have to be fancy. If all you're able to do is give mom a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice, the love is there and she will feel it!
