Alright Mother’s Day Planning Enthusiast’s… let’s switch it up this year and give your mom something that says “whoa, that was better than an excuse to carb load”.
If your current plan is a brunch, quick hug, and then see ya later .. Hmmm can we do better than that? I think yes.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s sweet and I’m sure it’s appreciated but this is your sign to make it feel a little more intentional (and a LOT more fun).
🌸 Violet Festival
Low pressure, high vibes. • Wander, snack, admire flowers, pretend you’re the kind of person who stops to smell them (even if you’re usually not) & maybe even buy her a little new garden takeaway •
🧘♀️ Mother’s Day Yoga at Yip Cider
• Stretch, breathe, maybe sip cider after. Equal parts wellness + I’ve earned this •
💐 Petals & Pour - Galbraith Florists × OneFive1
• Build a bouquet, get lost in curating a deliciously scented candle, and leave feeling like you absolutely nailed the assignment. Because hey boss ladies, you did!•
🫐 McKay’s Blueberry pie + a scenic drive
• Windows down, music up… or windows up + quality chat time. Either way, trek there early, enjoy the gorgeous NB scenery and get that pie (or other goodies) secured. This one’s giving main character energy and would probably be best enjoyed devouring on a sunny deck •
💎 Saint John Rock N’ Gem Show
• For the moms who love a little sparkle, a little weird, and a good wander through something unexpected. Further knowledge of rocks, fossils, gems or a piece handmade jewelry will surely dazzle •
No pressure, no worry of perfection, just pick something that feels like her!
Which one would you lean toward this year?
