1) Take a paint and sip class
If everyone's 21 and up, sign yourselves up for a painting and wine event. You'll sip, laugh, and take home a beautiful creation to remember the day.
2) Hunt for deals at a flea market
Your mom is the best at finding epic deals, so why not join her for a little shopping? Head to a flea market or antique shop to add to your collection.
3) Belt it out at a karaoke night
Channel your inner Beyoncé and rock out to your favorite tunes. Hair brushes work well, but you can elevate your karaoke experience even more with an at-home system that'll keep the entire family entertained for hours.
4) Book a family photo shoot
What's a better memory than a family photo? Hire a photographer to take countless pictures you'll enjoy for years to come.
5) Make a DIY sundae bar
Turn your kitchen into an ice cream parlor (and promise her you'll clean up after!). Pick your favorite toppings, like maraschino cherries and hot fudge, and place them in a row. Everyone can go down the line and make the perfect ice cream sundae.
6) Let her sleep in
For Mother's Day (especially if it's her first one), give her what she's been desperately craving: a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. You and baby can go somewhere out of hearing range and let Mom catch those ZZZs. Grab her a lavender eye pillow to make it extra relaxing.
7) Go swimming (or hang poolside)
Take advantage of the warm early-summer weather and spend a day relaxing at the pool. Let Mom kick back in the sun with a good book while Dad handles sunscreen duty. Make it even better with a fun pool float.
8) Head to yoga
If Mom can't get enough "omm," the whole family can join her for a yoga session. Many studios offer family classes that are designed for both parents and children.
9) Go wine tasting
If the kids are all 21+, then head to a nearby winery for a Mother's Day tasting. Or, if she's not a "wine mom," try a local craft brewery instead. At the end of the tasting, make sure to grab a bottle or two of her favorite to take home.
10) Serve breakfast in bed
More like brunch in bed — let her sleep in, then enjoy flapjacks and snuggles! We've got all the recipes you'll need for a beautiful Mother's Day brunch.
