Woman and daughter baking cookies for Mother's Day

Mother's Day is fast approaching, and many of us are struggling to find ways to make the day feel special for mom. The thought of not being able to take mom out for a delicious brunch, bake cookies with her at home, or even give her a hug can be frustrating.

If you're staying at home this year, but what to show mom your love and appreciation, there are many fun activities you can do together at a distance that will still show how much you care!

To help you plan something unique for Mother's Day, here are some creative ways to honor your mom this Sunday!

4 Stay-at-Home Mother's Day Ideas

  1. Write down your favorite memories together. This can be from a family vacation, a childhood memory, or a time something funny happened on the way to the grocery store. Take the time to write down the memory, then when you give your mom a zoom call, have everyone in your family take turns reading their memories out loud.
  2. Share "Mom Quotes." Everyone's mom has a little saying that we've come to know and appreciate. While Dad jokes seem to get all the love lately, there's no doubting that mom has a few of her own, too. Make a list of all the favorite quotes you have of hers from throughout the years, then you and the family can create a fun card that lists them all.
  3. Bake One of Mom's Favorite Recipes. Everyone has a favorite family recipe that they remember mom preparing in the kitchen. Why not cook it together while on video chat? Whether it's a full dinner that takes hours to prepare, or it's as simple as chocolate chip cookies, you can help celebrate Mom by creating some of her classic dishes. You can enjoy making each culinary dish together while you talk on the phone or video share!
  4. Watch Home Videos Together. If you're looking to tug on mom's heartstrings, here's a great way to do it! See if you can get as many kids and grandkids together on Zoom to watch some old videos with their moms or grandmas. This may require a tech savvy person to set up so that everyone can see, but the experience will no doubt mean the world to your mom this Mother's Day.
