Anyone else feel like the first half of the year is always jam-packed, full of exciting activities, events, and celebrations?
We’ve just been treated to a long weekend with Easter and the next event on the calendar is creeping up quickly!
This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, 14th May. So that means it’s almost time to celebrate the most important woman in our lives: mum and our special guardians.
Stuck with what to plan for mum this Mother’s Day?

Cooking with kids?
This is a sure-fire way to get little one excited for the celebration and keen to help create a beautiful day for mum. Cooking with kids also helps develop their fine motor skills. And best of all, it’s a fantastic bonding experience.
Sausage rolls
A delightful treat any day of the week, these are even more special when crafted lovingly by hand. And it’s the perfect recipe for little helping hands, too!
Best of all, you can choose to include a range of mince meats, like pork, beef, or chicken (or a combination).
A classic BBQ
Kids can get involved helping to prepare ingredients, setting the table, and helping with grilling.
From burgers and sausage sizzles to tasty chicken skewers and tender cuts of meat, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Homemade pizzas
Nothing quite excites the kids (and let’s be honest, adults, too) than getting messy in the kitchen with homemade pizza.
It’s a great way for kids to let their creativity run loose as they craft their own works of art. From rolling the dough and spreading the sauce to adding their chosen toppings, making pizza is a fun and memorable activity to share together.
Pasta
Your options are almost endless when it comes to simple and delicious pasta meals.
From good old spaghetti bolognese or a creamy carbonara to garlic shrimp and broccoli pasta, tailor your menu to not only meet mum’s preferences, but any picky kids’ needs, too!
Rack of lamb
As the weather starts to cool, we’re drawn to hearty, comforting foods.
A rack of lamb or roast lamb, alongside a ton of delicious roasted veggies and homemade gravy, is a soul-soothing meal mum will love.
What else can you do to spoil mum?
Breakfast in bed
Start the day off right treating mum like the Queen she is! Serve her breakfast in bed, including fluffy pancakes, coffee or tea, and a sweet treat. Oh, and give her a sleep in, too!
Homemade gifts and cards
Nothing says “I Love You” more than a heartfelt card or gift for mum. It doesn’t need to be anything extravagant or costly; as cliche as it sounds, the best gifts really are those that are crafted with thoughtfulness.
Pamper mum
Mum does do much for everyone else, so now is the time to treat her to a relaxing day.
Whether you draw her a bath, give her a massage, or simply give her a peaceful afternoon to watch her favourite show with no disruptions and distractions (and perhaps a cocktail in hand), pamper mum the way she deserves.
Flowers
Presenting mum with flowers is a traditional and thoughtful way to show your love and appreciation. A blooming bouquet will brighten her day and remind her of how much she means to you all.
