MOTHER’S DAY SUNDAY MARCH 22 What to do this Mother’s Day

Mothering Sunday is traditionally a day to say thank you to mothers for everything they do during the the rest of the year.
The sacrifices that parents make for their children are often so vast and numerous that children never get a chance to full repay their many kindnesses, so this Mother’s Day make sure to organise something special.
From school and college days to baby-sitting, child-minding, last minute dig outs and emotional support of all kinds, mothers are always there and for one day at least, it’s their turn to sit back and enjoy a day of indulgence.
There are numerous excellent florists and many lovely restaurants in County Wexford to help you spoil your mother with bouquets of flowers, lunch or afternoon tea. A spa break is another lovely gift and many local hotels offer excellent packages.
There is a saying that we only appreciate our parents when they’re gone so why not go all out and make this Mother’s Day something special for your mam, not just a last minute after thought.
Heading out for a meal on Mother’s Day is a popular choice for all families. Find a nice restaurant that is capable for catering for your family, however big and small, and be sure to book in time to avoid disappointment.
Consider your Mum’s interests and purchase her a gift to mark the occasion. There are a whole host of options, so plan in advance and buy something truly meaningful to show your appreciation. Many retailers stock Mother’s Day-specific gifts which will help you identify the ideal present.
As winter turns to Spring, Mother’s Day often falls at a time of year when we can hit the outdoors. Why not take your Mum for a stroll on the local beach or walkway and take in the fresh air - that is, if the weather co-operates!
While there are any amount of ways to mark the occasion, sometimes the best answer lies closest to home. Your Mum may appreciate a simple idea - be it breakfast in bed, a day at home with family or a slideshow of family memories for you all to reminisce over.
