Re: Frugal Mom's Day Ideas?
I am a mother...and a grandmother...and I know my kids do not have alot of money to spend...even if they did, I truly, honestly would not want them to spend alot (if any) on me.
I enjoy their TIME
I love their PICTURES (photos or drawn, painted)
I LOVE when they take time to write a nice, personal note (in a card or not)
I would enjoy waking up and having coffee made, a Sunday paper to read and maybe something homemade for brunch.
I would love fresh-cut wildflowers.
I would love a gift certificate to a homemade dinner at their home.
I would enjoy it if they washed my car.
I would like a potted plant that they started themselves.
Or just a day spent enjoying each other, that doesn't leave a messy kitchen. (just this once)
What I do not want:
To see my kids go into debt buying something because it's mother's day or birthday.
Us parents/grandparents are easy....usually a smile and a hug will do!
