15 Ways to Celebrate Mom At Home

May 7, 2020 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns No Comments

Good morning! Sunday is Mother’s Day, just in case you forgot, and this year more than ever we need to celebrate our mom’s. Some of our mom’s are in the high risk age range, some are homeschooling in addition to working, others are on the front lines and lots of moms are caring for us no matter our age by calling, sending emails and reaching out with recipes and advice. 

Here are 15 ways to celebrate mom. 

1. Cook for mom, instead of just one meal why not cook all weekend?

You could make her favorite pancakes for breakfast, maybe a big pot of soup for lunch, pasta for dinner and of course her favorite dessert.

2. Bake a big batch of mom’s favorite sweet treats to enjoy with her morning coffee or tea. 

3. Make mom a box of truffles! They are easy and delicious. 

4. Give mom a much needed day off, no cleaning, no cooking, no picking up. 


5. Get mom a gift certificate for her favorite spa so that once they are open she can have her nails done, or have a massage. Or make a certificate and give your mom a manicure, pedicure and even do her makeup. 

6. Order mom some of her favorite flowers or go outside and pick whatever you think would make a beautiful bouquet. 

7. Plant an herb garden and you can both watch it grow. 

8. Take an online class together while sheltering in place. There are lots of cooking, baking, art classes available. My pups gave me a Master Class subscription, if you order one it is buy one get one free!

9. If your mom is with you have a movie day, if she is not with you watch the same movie on your computers, or if you have Netflix, there is a way to watch together. Or do a puzzle together or a craft. 

10. If your beach is open take mom for a walk, make sure to social distance. If you don’t live by the beach go for a walk in your neighborhood, or take a bike ride. Maybe go on a picnic. 

11. Make a date with mom to visit the Louvre, the Vatican, or The Metropolitan Museum of Art, you can visit these and so many other museums from the comfort of your own home. 

12.  Order mom some of her favorite books, there is still time if you have Amazon Prime. You could also write and illustrate your own book filled with memories of your mom.

13. Find something handmade on Etsy, you can find everything from jewelry, to clothes, to vintage finds. 

14. Get mom a subscription or two to her favorite magazine.

15. Make mom a card, just like you did as a kid. Draw, paint, and write some of your favorite memories and things about her. 

There are so many ways to celebrate mom, and she deserves it. If your mom his not here anymore, why not celebrate her by taking time to write down or tell someone your favorite things about her, or make one of her favorite recipes, call your siblings and share stories. 

Have a great day! Stay safe friends.

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
