Please Share With Your Friends!

Mother’s Day is a joyous holiday to celebrate. 

Kids love celebrating their parents on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. 

Think back to when you did celebrate Mother’s Day or Father’s Day with your family as a kid. More than likely you enjoyed celebrating these important people in your lives. How did you celebrate with them? Did you create a special gift card? Make breakfast in bed? Or every year did you make a craft or a gift to your mom or dad? 

You can start traditions as a family that you can enjoy every year. Family traditions are great. They help you bond over something specific. And create wonderful memories that you can carry with you throughout your whole life.

Here are 20 Mother’s Day traditions you can start this year to celebrate this important woman in your life. If you are a mother you can start these traditions with your family to celebrate mothers in general and yourself! Because let’s be honest Momma you are awesome!

20 Mother’s Day Family Traditions to Start

Serve Mom Breakfast In Bed 

This is an easy idea that many people can do with children who are young. Treat breakfast in bed for Momma so she doesn’t have to get out.

Brunch 

Maybe your mom would much rather go to brunch or have a brunch at the house. Plan a brunch with your mom with all her favorite foods.

Make Mom a Pendant Every Year 

Many mothers love to receive jewelry. Make a pendant for your mom every year with your fingerprint inside and watch it grow.

Make DIY Cards 

Do you know what’s better than a card for mom on Mother’s Day? A card that was created from the heart by you. Each year make your own do-it-yourself card. Adding to your creativity and imagination will help her look back on the memories that you guys created together fondly.

Plant a Garden As a Family
