After breakfast I hard boiled a dozen eggs for snacks and stuff. Ben LOVES eggs more than anyone so I know they will def be eaten!
I was going to dig into one right away, but ended up saving it for lunch and pairing the apple with a handful of cashews.
I made egg salad to go with my bowl o’cabbage slaw.
My very fancy recipe: One egg, one egg white, mayo and S&P.
I shared the other egg yolk with Vegas because Ben always feeds him and I’m trying to even the score.
Then, I freaked out because my bangs are so long and I feel like a weirdo. I keep just pushing them back, but at this point that’s not working. 
I immediately got up and drove to a local salon to get a trim, but there was a wait and I don’t wait so I left. I went next door and got my nails done instead. Not exactly a successful trip, but not a complete failure?
At least my nails look good? (Not that I can see them from behind my bangs!)
I la-la-love the book Born to Run. This is a video of Scott Jurek talking about how he ran with the Tarahuarma Indians in Mexico! If you’ve read the book you’re familiar with Caballo Blanco – he’s in here.
Scott Jurek’s new book Eat Run Repeat “Eat and Run” is coming out June 5th.
He’s a Team CLIFbar Ultrarunner and CLIF bar says that Mothers are the unsung endurance athletes of our time. So true!

Im getting her some hanging baskets of flowers! they are so pretty this time of year!!
my mom and i are getting pedicures
katherinedibello (at) gmail (dot) com
Driving home a few hours to spend the weekend with her. Better yet, it is my brother’s college graduation. Many things to celebrate with family and friends:)
Sending love to my mum! She’s in a different state!
My mom’s Birthday is the same week as Mother’s Day so we’ll prob get together for lunch / dinner to celebrate both. Not sure what I’ll give her (the woman has everything!), but will def include a framed pic of her and my daughter along w/ something artsy my daughter makes. She’s only 4 so I can totally get away w/ homemade art projects from her and my mom loves it. Thoughtful and inexpensive so it’s a score for everyone! 🙂
Hi Monica. I noticed that you’re wearing the engagement ring and band the wrong way. I remember when I got married, my priest reminded me that the band should be on first (close to the heart) followed by the engagement ring. Just wanted to point that out. Of course you probably knew this and just like wearing your rings this way.
I am taking my daughter with me to get our hair odne together on Saturday morning. After that, my husband has blocked for a surprise weekend.
For mother’s day I am getting my mom a bottle of her fave perfume, her favorite flowers (pink roses) and we are all taking her out for lunch!
My mom and I are running a mother’s day race together that benefits a local women’s shelter! We do it every year, and it’s always such a great way to celebrate 🙂 then, we have a nice “recovery” breakfast afterward!
For Mother’s Day I am going to be running one of the last long runs before my Memorial weekend half marathon. Not sure what else the kids and husband will have planned.
I am going to bring my mom out for brunch/coffee hopefully!
So I know I missed the deadline for the contest, but I wanted to share my family’s usual Mother’s Day event! 🙂 We usually go to a conservatory to see a flower show and then go out to dinner at one of our favorite Italian places. Unfortunately, I am graduating on the day before Mother’s Day, so we will be unable to go to the conservatory this year. Hopefully we can come up with another fun plan instead! 🙂
I’m doing a 5K (my first race that I’m planning on running the whole thing) and then going to an anniversary party for my aunt & uncle. WHOO HOO!!!
I’m going to be making brunch for Mother’s Day for our family. We’ve got 5 mommas in our family (myself, my mom, my grandma, and two aunts), so brunch is a blast! *hint: grandma always brings the champagne for mimosas. my son has the coolest great-grandma ever* There’s also a small, local 5K on Mother’s Day out here, so I may go do that, but we’ll see. They always allow morning-of registration, so I’ll see how I’m feeling. It’s my day. I can do what I want. As longs as it’s followed by mimosas. 😉
I always have my mom, grandma and sister over for a cookout on Mother’s Day! I look forward to cooking and giving them a break.
I’m in Canada and not eligible for the give away..that’s cool..still want to comment.
I am a Mom and have a Mom and a Mom-in-law. Mom x3.
I hope to go for a long bike ride and have a Mom-visit-a-thon.
Crossing my fingers for good weather!
Taking her to dinner! Cracker Barrel – her idea. 🙂
I’ll be celebrating with my family, and attending my niece’s wedding! Great weekend!
nothing planned yet (procrastinator, me), but probably a nice lunch!
Im going to be away for Mothers Day so that makes me the worst kid everrrrr.
Lunch with my mom and dinner with my fiances mom 🙂
My mom is in town so we are doing a girls’ trip for the night. Dinner, hiking, manis/pedis.
I go buy a cute funky planter for (like the ones I saw at Walmart that look like a tea cup and saucer) and plant a few plants in them for her.
Sadly, my mom lives 10 hours away, but I am sending flowers and there will probably be a nice, two hour phone chat. 🙂
I am taking my mom to this Mother’s Day tea put on by the Historical Society in my city. A total departure from our usual time spent together – SHOPPING, but I thought it might be fun.
Giving my mom a phone call and apple care for her new iPAD!
My mom and my mother in law both live in different states– so I’m sending each of them flower and a spa gift certificate so they can take themselves 😉
I am going to visit my BFF in Tenn for Mother’s day weekend, because my Mom passed away, and my BFF doesn’t want me to be sad : )
Taking my mom to high tea. A date for just the two of us!
Heading home to spend the day with my mom and introducing her to her new grandpuppy, Lucy, my new English bulldog!
I am a U.S resident, but I’m here a few more weeks in England. Mother’s day here is actually in March! So I send her a huge card from here, called her, and let her know that I owe her breakfast in bed, a spa day, and a movie!
We’re going to brunch and … who knows. It’s my first Mother’s Day, and I plan to milk it!
I’m taking my mom to the local farmers market to pick up a picnic basket worth of produce and some baked goods and then heading to a botanical garden nearby to enjoy it all.
I took the day off on Friday and I’m going to surprise my mom by taking her out for lunch (it’s a 3 hour drive home). Hope she cries! I mean, hope she loves it 🙂
I won’t be celebrating with my momma since we’re in seperate states 🙁 but flowers & a card
I’ll be working. 🙁 Otherwise I’d be driving to PA to visit my Mom!
Going to brunch with my family, which includes my mom, my sister who is a mom, and my daughter which makes me a mom too 🙂
So my mom lives in MI and I live in NY, but I should still do something. I will probably make my own card and send it to her and have my dad deliver her some flowers….
Going to the beach on Saturday and then having my mom over for dinner on Sunday.
Mother’s Day is the day after I get married. So I’ll see my mom the day before at the wedding. 😉
BBQ with the family!
Maybe a nice lunch? Too far in the future to plan! Procrastinators unite!
I’ll be celebrating mothers day with my family by going out to a nice restaurant!
My mom lives in Oregon, so I don’t get to celebrate in person with her. But, I will be going to breakfast with my husband and son. After breakfast, we are probably stopping by his family’s celebration for a while. Then I’ll go get a much needed pedicure in the afternoon!
We’re 600 miles from my parents 🙁 so we will send our Mother’s day gift in the mail to my momma and grandma. We’ll be visiting with hubby’s family so at least we’ll get to see one mom on Mother’s Day!
I am a mom of two little ones so I asked for a spa pedicure for Mother’s day. For my own mom, she is coming to visit in a few weeks so I am taking her to a fancy afternoon tea at a famous hotel in Downtown Dallas. She loves going to tea rooms so it should be fun to dress up and have tea together!
I will be calling my mom on the phone to wish her a happy mother’s day since i live 1200 miles away 🙁
My brother and I are bringing our kids to our parents’ house to celebrate. My parents leave on a cruise the next day, so they will need a grandkid fix before they leave. I think we will probably just make pizzas and drink sangria while sitting poolside.
I think I’ll make my mom a tasty brunch! Then a massage because I’m such a great daughter 🙂
Since I don’t live near my mom, I am sending her a fitness carepackage because she recently has gotten back into a regular workout routine. I am giving her the book “Run Like A Mother,” the “Yoga for Runners” DVD, a gift certificate for a local yoga studio, and some pretty earrings (to go with all the new outfits she’s going to need!). I am also printing and framing a print with the quote, “Home is where Mom is.”
My college graduation is on Mother’s Day, so mom and I will be doing plenty of celebration! and hopefully eating somewhere fancy 🙂
did you really have cabbage and eggs for lunch?! Two of my faves but… well…poor Ben;)
I am spending the day with my son!
I’m taking my mom to a fancy brunch!
I already celebrated Mother’s Day with my mom because I’m out of town the next two weekends, including Mother’s Day. We went to a local arboretum and looked at the trees and flowers. It was really nice. Oh, and I bought her an orchid when Whole Foods had their one day deal!
I am going to start by working from 7-12ish. Then, hopefully, come home to my three kids and husband who will spoil me rotten. Or at least make me dinner.
I’m hosting mother’s day at my apartment for the first time this year. I’m trying to decide what kind of food to have. Maybe brunch? hmm… I better get planning.
I am spending mothers day with my whole family and having a bbq at my house!
Going out for pedicures:-)
For Mother’s day we are going to do a 5k walk together and celebrate with a huge brunch at a local hotel. 🙂
I’m taking my Mom out to brunch and then to a spa to get facials!
I will be spending the day with Mom, hubby and the inlaws…my mom lives 12 miles away, so I run to her house (get my long run in), the hubster follows in the car, and we will be grilling out and spending the day together. I also got her a kindle….she’s been wanting one for ages!
I won’t be able to see my mom on mother’s day, so we’re celebrating early this weekend with a mother’s day family dinner!
i wont be with either mother this mothers day unfortunately…but its my first mothers day..im pregnant so that counts right? yay 🙂 so maybe my husband should do something special for me…yep i think thats what needs to happen!
I will be spending mother’s day morning cheering on my son while he races his first 5K!! Then its off to breakfast at Cracker Barrel.
No mother, just a mother-in-law, so whatever hubby comes up with. He cares. 😛
For Mother’s Day I’ll be running! We live to far from our family 🙁
My Mom likes gardening plants/bushes for gifts. If she needs nothing I like to get her a gift certificate for a massage.
I’m super excited! I will be sending Mother’s Day running my first ever Half Marathon!! My husband and kids will be there to watch me cross the finish line!!
Just mailing my mom’s gifts, since she lives far away!
I’ll probably bake her some goodies and have my kiddos do a special piece of artwork.
Having a family picnic…
I’m doing mani’s and pedi’s with my Mom. Perfect relaxing day.
Just wanted to say I am finally getting my bangs trimmed today. Nothing worse than when they get overgrown!
for mothers day i’m spending the day with my mother (how original) and baking her a cinnamon coffee cake (her fav)!
My siblings and I are planning on taking our mom out to brunch.
Mother’s day brunch!
I will either be meeting my parents at the beach, or be meeting them in Philly to help my brother move out of his frat house. Guess which one I prefer…
My mom’s birthday and Mother’s Day are the same weekend so I am traveling “home” for the weekend. I will be pampering my mom with manis/pedis and brunch on Sunday!
I typically convince my hubby and kids to cook for me , & we take a picnic to a huge park in our area and hang out and play and eat 🙂 My Aunt comes along as well and my dad ( my mom passed away 6 year ago and even though I am a Mommy now it still kinda stinks, so I try to focus on all of us hanging out instead of playing up the mom thing)
I’m not sure yet!! I’m getting my mum & godmother a card, but I’m not sure what else they want to do…
Mother’s Day is actually the day after my sister’s wedding so I’m sure we’ll all be recuperating from the madness! However, I’m sure we can sneak in taking my Mom to lunch for her special day 🙂
For Mother’s Day, my mom and bro will come over, and then we will make my husband BBQ us some tri-tip. Yep, pretty sure that’s what we’ll do!
We always visit my mom and bring her flowers. My dad grills something delicious and i bring dessert.
I am a mom so I hope I don’t have to do the dishes;-)
My mommy is coming to visit me, and I’m hoping my in laws will come over for lunch, too. I want to make the pink lemonade cake that’s on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens this month.
My siblings and I are taking mom out to dinner at a local winery. She’s never been and it’s one of those places we’ve all said we wanted to go, so we finally are! I think we get a free tasting too 🙂
My mom and dad will be on vacation this Mother’s Day. Not sure what I’ll do….
I will be spending mothers day having lunch with my 8 month old daughter and my mom 🙂 Three Generations, and lots of love and laughs I am sure.
I will probably be spending Mother’s Day with my mom and I hope my 2 daughters decide to be on their best behavior for me for Mother’s Day 😉
I live ten hours away from my mom, so I will be calling her. I was going to send her flowers and get her a subscription to O magazine, but she asked all of us not to get her presents this year.
My Dad collected the top 10 things we’ve learned from my Mom and is going to hide them on notecards around the house. Since my brother and I will be together (but in another state from my parents), we’ll Skype with them, as well. Can’t wait to celebrate with them (even at a distance!)
My mom and I are taking my boy’s to Sheperds Harvest Festival for the day. The place is full of vendors selling all things to do with yarn and fibers, and more sheep and llama’s than you can imagine. The boys love it, and we all get to spend time together.
I live a few states away from my mom, so I’m driving in to visit her for Mother’s Day weekend. I have a feeling pedicures will be involved…
I will be spending Mother’s Day with my boyfriends mom!
My brother & sisters are going out to lunch with my mom 🙂
My mom is too far away for me to hang with, but I am sending her to get a pedicure for mother’s day.
I’m taking my Mom out for a pedicure and girl’s lunch.
Unfortunately, I wait tables part time and Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year at the restaurant I work at. So I will be pulling a double there, but plan to treat my mom to a mani/pedi the day before 🙂
We most likely will do brunch 🙂
On Mother’s Day Brunch then hanging out with the family. Nothing but a good time!
My brothers and I are heading home to spend the day with our Mom. We are really excited to surprise her with a new Ipad!
we’re getting my mom a fridge! and i’ll also make her a card and take her out for dessert or lunch
Showering mom with homemade cards, flowers, food, and love!
Brunch with the whole family & lots of loving to my momma!
Going to see a play and out to lunch with my boys!
I’m leaving my kids home with my hubby and flying out to be with my twin for Mother’s day weekend 🙂 I’ll get home Sunday afternoon in time to take my own mom out to dinner!
i’m sure we are probably going out to a nice lunch with my whole family, the usual!
I’ll be working but hopefully my husband makes me dinner so I dont have to cook!
love born to run! RIP caballo though.
mother’s day? sending my momma flowers and a card from DC!
On Mother’s Day I will either be cheering on my best friend in her Mother’s Day 5k (she’s a mom, I am not) or I will run with her (not really, she is way faster than me). Or I am going to hang out with my brother, sis-in-law and my adorable nephew.
I think you should encourage your mom to run a 5k…maybe there is a Mother’s Day 5k race around you and you two can do it together?
I’m going home to see my mom – about 4 hours away. We’ll probably make pizza and watch movies 🙂
Great video clip. I love the book Born to Run and was sad to hear of Caballo Blanco’s death.
For Mother’s Day I will be having brunch with my family. My 5 year old son wants to get me a pretty tree for the yard and I thought that was a very sweet idea.
we’ll be visiting my sister (who lives in Hawaii), so it’ll be nice for all the girls in the family to be together!
Teaching my daughters how to garden……should be interesting!
I don’t know what we’ll be doing for Mother’s Day because I’ll be recovering from a tonsillectomy. My mother ensured me I “don’t have to eat”. =P
for mama’s day, we’re walking around the back bay in newport! or balboa island. still up in the air =)
Running a 5k in the morning faster (I hope!) so I get done earlier and can spend the rest of the day with fam.
For mothers day, I am hoping to do a “girls day out” with my mom and sisters. Nails, a nice dinner, and a movie!
I’m going to treat my mom with wolf related gifts. (she collects them) 🙂
Probably consuming unnecessary amounts of chocolate.
I love CLIF bars–and I’m a fan of Scott Jurek, too. Got to hear him speak at the Seattle Rock’n’Roll Expo last year, seems like a genuinely nice, down-to-earth guy. But I digress . . . for Mother’s Day, I’m spending time with my husband, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, probably going to Thai or Chinese food since all the other restaurants will be jam-packed with people for Mother’s Day. Spending time together is the BEST way to celebrate Mother’s Day in my book!
I’m going to bake a very yummy and large cake for my mom and I.
It is really a win, win that way.
I’m studying for the MCATs 🙁
hopefully taking mom out to breakfast in the morning though!
I will be working and my mother will be out of town. I’ll smother her with love when she gets back.
2 things: 1. I love your rings. They’re so unique and classic at the same time. and 2. You totally look like your mom! Pretty ladies 🙂
You won! Send me your name and address 🙂
For mothers’ day, I’m making brunch at my house. Pancakes, eggs and probably bacon. Maybe mimosas too. Awesome giveaway – thanks!
for mother’s day… i am FINALLY, 4 years belated, GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE.
Taking my mom to see the musical Hairspray!! Super excited!
Mother’s Day 2012 will be spent with my awesome mother the day after my college graduation. She’s going to be a mess 🙂
Since my mom lives in another state, I am sending her an edible arrangement and a gift certificate to a local spa so she can pamper herself silly!
Church and then thinking of a 1/2 marathon that day 🙂 and of course ring with my daughter and husband
I am going to take my mom out to Brunch and a pedicure. Cant wait.
My mommy is across the country from me 🙁 I am going to send her some zines I read and loved. Along with a little rug I knitted. Shhh. Its a secret 🙂
Going to my cousins baptism
I am giving my Mom a Kitchenaid mixer. She never splurges on herself so I am doing it for her!
I’m sending my mom flowers and a packet of “artwork” my toddler created. For myself, I’m going on a long run and out to brunch.
Gonna have to Skype with the mother and MIL as we live thousands of miles from them. Maybe we can hang out with mothers here in the West to celebrate the day? Probably do some chilling too. It’s on a Sunday, right? That’s my day to work on my couch imprint 🙂
My mom is in PA and I’m in KS which makes it difficult, because I normally like to take her shopping since she doesn’t take the time to spoil herself. So instead, I’m going to send her a gift certificate to get herself a massage… and write her one heck of a tear-jerker letter!
Hopefully nothing since I am a mom! But the day before I am making my mom a cake and I signed her up for Birchbox for 3 months!
My sister is graduating too!
I am taking my wife to the movies with our girls and then we are taking a boat ride.
My wife loves these…hope we win…thanks!
[email protected]
Have no idea what we are doing, no plans made as of yet. Hopefully my husband will think of something wonderful and sweet to do for me. What his number to give him some ideas?
My daughter has a softball tournament all weekend and we are taking family photos.
This mothers day will be spent at my sisters graduation. But in years past we usually cook breakfast and go for a hike, I love it!
I’m going home for the first time in two years! (exactly 2 years in fact- that last time I was there it was Mother’s day!) Don’t worry I have seen my parents since then, we just plan vacays and they come visit me more than my broke student behind can visit them! 🙂 Sorry not really an idea you can steal…
we always serve my mom breakfast in bed! entire pound of bacon here we come… 🙂
I will be celebrating Mother’s Day early with my mom when I go to visit her this weekend in Texas. For me I will be celebrating Mother’s Day with my kids by watching baseball all weekend at my son’s tournament.
Sadly, I won’t be able to spend Mother’s Day with my mom, but I’ll be sending her some flowers! She deserves them 🙂
I’m buying my mom a well deserved pedicure for Mother’s Day!
My mom will actually be traveling to visit me for my graduation the day before, so we will probably go out to dinner and spend time with the whole family!
Hi Monica! My mom has been in heaven since I was 19, so I always have dinner with my grandma. She is so awesome…I take her to her favorite place (hibachi grill) and get her a card that makes her cry. My husband and son will make me dinner (out on the grill, usually) and take me out for ice cream. They rock!
Sarah, Sorry about your mom.
I will be running by myself, then going out on the trails towards beach with kids and then spending it at home eating bbq with my mom and kids and family….love it.
Going to Glen Ivy Spa with my mom!
My parents,my in laws and my sisters in laws cone over every year for brunch on mothers day 🙂 We do a big feast and try to make them something creative as a gift! My sister is due in June so she’ll be a mom to be this year :)!!!
going out to lunch with my mom, grandma + the rest of the fam!
I’d like to take my mom to tea. I should call and make a reservation and make it happen!
I’m actually helping my siblings cook brunch for my mom, our grandmas, and my grandpa. Haha, it’s his birthday, so he’s included with the ladies 😉
We will be celebrating Mother’s Day and my nephew’s first birthday with family and friends. My mom loves to receive a hanging flower pot for Mother’s Day
I’m working a gig in Boston (I’m from DC), so my parents are driving up from PA and my sister is coming down from college in New Hampshire and we’re all eating brunch as a family! It’s nice because my sister and I are usually in the throws of studying for finals during Mother’s Day and haven’t been able to celebrate together in four years. I’m sure you’ll think of something fun to do, as well! Enjoy!
A day full of food! My husband and toddler make me breakfast, then we going out to linner and they also bake a dessert 🙂
I’ll be driving back to NC from Colorado. And probably crying a bit. 🙁
My extended family is having a cook out. And then I will probably go to my Mom’s for dinner. My sisters and I usually get my mom flowers for all of her outdoor pots and gardens for Mother’s Day, so we’ll probably do that.
unable to go home for the celebration, but sending the love in the form of a new kindle!
Taking my mom out to lunch and baking her favorite dessert!
I am picking my mother up from the airport after a much needed vacation to Vegas! Best son in the world? I think so.
Picnic at a winery!
I can’t wait for Scott’s book to come out!
I still have no idea what we’re doing for Mother’s Day. I’m thinking of having her over for a healthy brunch and maybe going to The Lucky One. She lent me the book, and I’m almost finished.
My mother-in-law will be out of town, so that makes it a bit easier!
I love Scott Jurek and the book Born to Run! Scott did an ultramarathon in a town near me in Texas last fall. I plan to volunteer for that race next fall just so that I can maybe catch a glimpse of him! Is that weird/stalkerish?
I’m going to take my mom on a tea tasting on Mother’s Day 🙂
We don’t have any plans yet, but it usually involves food and togetherness and water (beach or river). And a little booze. Love me some mother’s day brunch mimosas!
I LOVED Born To Run! What a great book!
My mom volunteers for the local breast cancer organization and they have a 5K every year so I always run that on Mother’s Day (and hang out with Mom while she takes care of registration beforehand)! I love that quality time with her and running for an important cause!
Sadly, my Mom’s in Texas and I’m in Utah. I’ll be calling her bright and early and seeing if she enjoyed the photo book I put together for her this last week.
Hopefully I will be getting pampered for giving birth to four children.
i’ll bake her a huge fruity gluten free cake, becuz she’s starting following my diet which is gluten free!!!!
I will be having brunch at my parent’s house with my sisters and parents!
I might be trippin’ it up to LA {fromSan Diego} to spend w/ my aunt. Of course, I will have my 11 mos old w/ me! {happy first mothers day to me :D}
Happy First Mothers Day!
i just recently discovered the mojo bars and i LOVE them. but that’s just a side note. i’m headed home to VT to see my mom for the weekend (i live in boston) so we’re just planning to spend some QT together. oh and the next weekend the two of us are going to dinner with my grandmother for a three generation mom’s day celebration 🙂
The wednesday before mothers day a local salon is having a party with wine, apps and a stella and dot jewelry party. Im taking my mom there to pick out some jewelry for a present!
Bagels with my MIL, brunch with my parents, and then hopefully some time off from parenting my one year old so I can rest (pregnant with #2 and I’m exhausted!)
I no longer live near my mom, and am a broke newlywed, so mom will be getting a face to face “I love you happy mothers day” thru Skype…. The best I can do! 🙁
I bought my mom a “Keep calm, and call mom” poster that I plan on framing 🙂
Awww, I like that 🙂
Take her out to dinner!
Making breakfast for my mom 🙂
I’m running a ladies only Mothers Day 5K!
we’re taking my mom and my grandma out to dinner on mother’s day. =)
We’re just going to hang out, laugh and have some good food etc 🙂
My mom, sadly, is deceased. My brother and I make sure to connect on Mother’s Day to reminisce and I spend time looking at pictures. My partner and I are also taking his mom out for brunch!
I hope my kids are going to do something nice for me, but I doubt my husband will remember to plan something.
My mom has to work on Mother’s day so we will have a fancy dinner waiting for her when she gets home! 🙂
I always buy my mom a plant for her garden. That way she can enjoy it all year.
Mothers’ Day is always a rush around here. I imagine my husband & I will be taking each of our Mom’s out for lunch/dinner.
Sadly won’t get to spend Mother’s Day with my mom this year, because of the distance, but sending her a pretty blooming bonsai tree! Will be hanging with my Mom-in-Law and my Hubz’s family!
I wish I could spend this Mother’s Day with my mom, she lives 450 miles away and I’ll be running a 25k on the 12th so won’t be able to make the drive to see her! Sending her some TOMS shoes in the mail for her gift, hope she likes them!
For mothers day I am going to the brewers game with my whole family! I am super excited 🙂
I will hopefully be running a 4 miler race! I hope my shin splints heal in time!
We’ll be celebrating with my MIL and her youngest child graduating college! (and hopefully eating Clif bars!)
My mom, grandma and I go out every Mother’s Day together. It is nice to have all the generation of women. When my daughter is a little older she will join us too.
For mother’s day I’m spending the afternoon with my Mom and her family at a cookout at my grandma’s house. Then dinner with my boyfriend’s Mom that night 🙂
In my family, we like practical gifts…. so I’m taking my mother-in-law bra shopping! She would never do it for herself, but I made an appointment at Nordstrom so she can get fitted professionally and come home with the right bras. She’s already so excited about it– never underestimate the power of a well-fitted bra!
I’ll be out of town working, but I’m sure my little ones will call me and I’ll be sure to call MY mom too 🙂 Maybe I’ll be eating a free gift pack of Clif bars too!
Yes I LOVE Clif Bars! For mother’s day… I’m running a local trail marathon with my mom! So excited!
Probably cooking for my family like any good mom. Mother’s Day is never a good day to go to a restaurant.
I’m going to fix up a fancy lunch for my mom and then give her the soundtrack to Downton Abbey. We’re both obsessed!
Sending my mom a card and running a 5k. Having brunch with Travis’s family.
I am having my mom over for brunch–it’s a tradition I started last year.
We will be sending the moms and moms-in-law flowers, and then I will be expecting some pampering of my own 🙂 that weekend starts my taper for the Portland Rock n Roll half!
We Canadians like Clif Bars as well, haha. This would be a perfect gift for my Mom. For Mother’s Day I will spent the day with her, and possibly do the dishes to show my love and appreciation. What can I say, I’m a ‘starving’ student – minus the starving aspect.
I haven’t decided yet…i may sign my mom up for a race since she said it was always her dream to run with her kids 🙂
I work on Sundays so we’re shifting Mothers Day to monday! 🙂 We’re going out to fondue. I just moved to the same state my parents live in, so it will be my first mothers day with my mom in 10 years!
I get to celebrate two mothers days! One brunch with my mom and grandma then dinner with my new mother in law!
I’m celebrating Mother’s Day with my mom a few weeks late, when I will be home to visit. Probably brunch + massages!
Not sure what I am doing yet but I know my mom would love that Chocolate Almond Coconut bar!
My husband is returning from a month long military trip in Guatemala the day before my first mother’s day! So probably spending every minute with him and our munchkin:)
i’m going to take my mom out to lunch and then go get a pedicure with her!
going to the nursing home to be with my grandma. we will be four generations of ladies!
Boy, I don’t know what I’m doing yet. Being a mom myself, I want to have a say in the day! I’m sure I’ll probably start with a guilt-free run!
I will be going golfing with my mom on mother’s day then out tolunch!
I live seven hours from my mom, but I’ll be sure to send her something and call! I am a mom to a cute pup, so we’ll probably spend some quality time together that Sunday.
my husband and son are taking me to brunch!
It is my second mothers day and I will be on my first vacation without my babies (twins). I didn’t realize it was mothers day weekend when my husband and I planned it. We live in CT and we will be in SanFran, not winning mom of the year in 2012
My sister and I are getting our mom a huge chocolate-covered fruit bouquet from Edible Arrangements!
Eating the Clif Bars I will hopefully win!
i’m hosting my mom at our new place and then taking her to the outer banks of NC!
Making mom dinner and buying her a new cellphone.
I’m taking my mom out to breakfast and then treating her and I to pedicures. The ultimate “mom” gift. 🙂
For Mother’s Day, my mom, sister, and I (we are all mothers) are going to Healdsburg CA to do a little wine tasting. Although we live nearby it will still be a special treat. Oh and I’m treating us all to frozen yogurt for sure! Lol.
I am running my second 5k on Mother’s Day. I’m a mom, and that’s what I want to do! 🙂
unfortunately, i live a plane ride away from my mom 🙁 but i have a gift being sent to her (can’t say since she might be readinggg). i wish i could be home but i will see her in a few weeks!!
Hopefully going for a nice long run, going to church, and taking a nap!
My mother and I are going to visit my grandmother! It’ll be a fun surprise!
My mom lives far away so I’m unable to see her for Mother’s Day… but I got her a necklace made from a butterfly wing! (No butterflies were harmed… apparently they have a farm they grow them on, and just “harvest” them when they die). I LOVE Clif Bars!
Going to my grandparents vow renewal at church. 55 years of marriage on Mother’s Day…CRAZY!
I’ve been away at college all year and for Mother’s Day we’re going to plan our couple days that I have at home before I go to Spain for the summer! We’re going to get a delicious lunch and do all of our Trader Joe’s Sunday Shopping 🙂
Um… nothing? That sounds terrible but we don’t live in the same area. I already sent her a nice card and fancy candle. And I’ll call, of course!
I love CLIF bars! I recently discovered the Kidz versions and they are mighty tasty.
For my mom, I got her a subscription to O Magazine and am still deciding if I want to mail her a box of wine and chocolate or a nice pair of earrings–I convinced her to get her ears pierced a month ago!
For Mother’s Day I will be making my mom a brunch complete with French toast, egg casserole, and Sangria. After that, I’m hoping to head out on a family walk!
I’ll be running a Mother’s day road race, followed by brunch with my Mom 🙂
I’m eating lots of chocolate.
For Mother’s Day my husband and I are spending the day at the in-laws! The day before I’m running a 25K, so I’m hoping it’s a low-key, relaxed celebration! 🙂
I’m going to surprise my mom with flowers and manual labor for the day. There’s a lot of wood to stack and landscaping to do! 🙂
I live across the country from my mom (sad face) so I’ll be sending my mom flowers and chocolate and giving her a call. Fortunately, she’ll be visiting me just a couple weeks afterwards!
hmm I’m thinking of treating her to a mani/pedi or maybe sending an edible arrangement!
I’m away at college so I’m surprising my mom and coming home on Mother’s Day, a full week before she’s expecting me!
Our 7 month old daughter is being dedicated at our church that morning and then we are headed out to brunch with my family and my hubby’s family, should be really nice!
I eat a cliff bar before every half marathon 🙂
And I’ll be in Orlando going to MGM on mother’s day with my mom and my mil!
I’m still trying to figure out mother’s day plans for this year, but for years my mom would request her favorite dish I make, chicken marsala, and have my bro and I pamper her all day by serving her, foot massage, etc.
I’m working 🙁 So I’m having my parents over this weekend instead, they can stay in our new guest bedroom suite and i’ll make dinner and breakfast
I’m taking my mom on a chocolate walking tour of the West Village in NYC!
Today is my first mother’s day as a mother do I’m waiting to see what my husband has in store from him and our son!
I’m going home!! My last final is that friday so I’m flying home to spend the whole day with her!
That new book looks great, I loved Born to Run as well!
I’m taking my mom out to get a puppy on Mother’s Day. I know that sounds kind of extreme but our family dog passed away last fall and I can tell that my mom’s missing a furry companion. She agreed so next weekend it’s on 🙂
My husband and I live near both our parents, so Mother’s Day, like all holidays, will be a double whammy! Probably brunch with his parents and then dinner with mine.
I’m trying to convince my mom to go to an amusement park with me since we both love roller coasters but neither of us have been for years. That would be MY idea of an awesome mother’s day, but I’m not sure I have her convinced.
With me in Florida and my mom in Kansas, I’ll be sending a card and gift.
I’m doing the Run Like a Mother 5k with my mom. This will be our first race together and I can’t wait! We’re hanging out afterwards with my kiddos at the post-race party (there will be bounce houses, so how could we NOT stay??) and then a sweaty brunch 🙂
I’m spending it with my little baby boy and my hubby. I love a healthy way to have chocolate. The Cliff bar brownie flavor looks amazing!
I am a florist and I so love mother’s day!! Nothing (besides running) bets making flower arrangments for sweet little kids that coming in looking for something beautiful for their mom’s. Love it!!! Moms truly are the BOOM!!!
My birthday is the same weekend as mothers day so we will be celebrating together!
My sister owns a bar/restaurant so we always have to work, so we have bring mom to work with us day and make her “celebrity/mom” bartender for the day with her girls. Believe it or not she LOVE IT!
My son and husband better have something awesome planned for me! 😉
Woohoo! I love Clif bars! I am watching my mom graduate with two (!!!) undergraduate degrees for Mother’s Day!
We always get together and make a big lunch for all the moms and exchange motherly gifts!
I’m probably going to be the worst daughter ever, because I’ve signed up for a run 250 miles AWAY from my mom. 🙁
Taken the mom-in-law out to brunch and anything else she wants to do.
Probably something really creative like go out for brunch…. Wld and crazy, I know. But I LOVE the Mojo bars!!
My mom and I are going to a local greenhouse where she is going to pick out some of her favorite flowers to plant. Then, we are going back to her house to garden!
Im baking my mom her favorite dessert! Carrot cake with Cream Cheese Frosting 🙂 YUMMM
We’ll be at my brother’s graduation and since he’s near the beach, we are going to make a nice weekend of it…ocean front hotel, etc.
I’ll be running Ragnar — not with my mom! We finish Saturday and are going to stay in cape cod, so we are celebrating after I get back 🙂
I’m hoping for a nap.
Going to church to hear my three boys sing for mother’s day. I can’t wait!!

Ahhhhh I love cliff bars
And my mom 🙂
We’re just hanging out….lunch and shopping
typical lady stuff!
I’m working on Mother’s Day….two states away from my little boy and gigantic husband. Miss them! So a nummy chocolate Clif Bar treat would be a great pick-me-up!
I think we’ll take my mom to Ruth’s Chris for mother’s day! =)
My mom lives far away but I’ll send her a card and call her!
My mom lives in Colorado and I’m in Cali so I won’t be able to see her and celebrate in person. My plan, for now, is to send her a card and get flowers delivered… then I’ll call later to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day over the phone and chat 🙂
My mom and I are going on a girls weekend to Austin!
I am a mom too but I usually end up cooking a big brunch and inviting over my mom, mother in law, and siblings + families. I told my fiancee that I don’t want to do that his year so I think he is taking us out. Yay!
I’ll probably get up early and go to 7:00 Mass with my mom.
I will be sending her a card, and then going to graduation parties:)
moving home from college on mother’s day! in fact, i called my mom today to ask what she would like, and her response was “to have you home”
……..thanks, mom. real helpful.
so having a cliff bar to share with her would be a nice treat 🙂
I will be working on Mothers Day 🙁 booooo!
getting her some cute workout clothes in hopes they will inspire her!
This Mother’s Day I plan on relaxing with my mom, getting our nails done together, and eating lots of delicious food!
I am so excited for this Mother’s Day (which is doubley great since I am pregnant with my second little boy!). My husband, son and I are renting a house in Bodega Bay for the weekend and my mother-in-law (who I love!) and her boyfriend are coming too. Nothing better than relaxing with fam by the ocean. Well, being able to drink wine would be better, but that comes in a few months 😉
Mother’s Day falls the day before my Contracts final exam this semester – so I am hoping to con my parents into quizzing me after dinner or lunch! 🙂
My mom lives overseas (Vietnam) so I’m planning a nice little Skype call with her Saturday night EST, Sunday morning her time!
I’m in Cali and my mom is in FL 🙁 So I will probably just call her and if I really get it together in time, send a card in the mail!
for mother’s day, i am actually working! i’m excited because i am finally going to make some dinero. but anywho, i’m working at edible arrangements and you can’t go wrong with cute fruit in the shape of flowers!
I am going to drive the 2 hrs to see her! And drag along my little (gigantic) brother.
My grad school Commencement is the day after Mothers’ Day, so I’m spending the day driving back into town……but there should be time for a nice dinner in the evening!
Since I still live at home, I’ll probably do breakfast in bed, a card, flowers, and a special meal.
Take her for a mani/pedi and going out to lunch!
I am working and sleeping 🙁 Clif bars would cheer me up 🙂
I am taking my mom out to lunch and shopping. It should be low key, but we just enjoy spending time with each other 🙂
My brother and I are going to take mom out to lunch, at her request.
I always get my mom a nice bouquet of flowers and then it’s church and lunch afterwards. It’s the same every year but meaningful 🙂
My mom and I are going to go get a kitten!
not sure yet but food is definitely involved
I always get my mom a rose bush for mother’s day. We also plan on having a barbecue with some good german sausages. 🙂 yum!
For Mother’s Day I’m having a “moms day” with my mommy friends. NO KIDS!!! We’re going to get pedicures then go out to eat/drink. Of course I will spend some time with my kids, but I’m really looking forward to my moms day.
On Mother’s Day all of the Moms in the family get together and go out to eat! Pretty simple but it’s nice for all of us to get together.
MY family and I always do brunch at El Torito Grille. We’re not very creative but my mom loves that place.
This year I’m having a nice quiet dinner with my parents. Nothing fancy. 🙂
My mother looooves walking, so this year I’m taking her to the local Arboretum and walking their entire 4.3-mile loop with her. Then, we celebrate at the fancy-schmancy brunch with Mimosas and made-to-order omelets. Bliss!
Eating chocolate of course… and also calling mom.
Won’t be able to see my mom this year, but will celebrate in her honor!
I’ll be celebrating afar but will certainly give my Mom a call to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day!
I am having my mom over for brunch and then spending the day with her. Not sure what we will do after brunch, but it will involve relaxing and chatting!
I am doing the Komen Race for a Cure 5K in Pittsburgh!
I don’t know yet! That sure came up fast this year….
signed up for a cooking class at sur la table!
I’m celebrating from afar with my family. I am sending my mom a little gift package in the mail since I’m still at school this year.
Having my parents and in-laws over for brunch. I need to find a Grandma gift for them, my baby is due in a couple months!
Just found your blog & am reading old posts, catching up. Love it.
For Mother’s Day, I got my mom, 2 dvd’s and the other half and I are going to have her and my father over to grill (her choice in foods) and then we are going to watch one (maybe both) of the dvd’s.
I’m spending the day with my 2 kids (ages 2 and 4). Hopefully, my husband will cook dinner and clean up after.
My mom lives in Ohio, and I will be visiting her in June and celebrating then face to face with hugs, kisses and yummy meals. and although I am a mother of 3 21, 19 and 15 I have to work on Mothers Day….ugh.
I am an RN and in this female dominated career sometimes I have to work because hospitals are open 24/7 hopefully my kids will clean the house and make me dinner while I am at work!
I’m buying her edible arrangements and we are going kayaking 🙂
I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing for mother’s day yet but I’ll be home from college just in time so hopefully I’ll get to see the grandma’s in addition to my mom! And my mom and I are running our annual half marathon together a week after mother’s day so I guess that counts too =)
Playing golf with my son and daughter in law.
I’m running a Mother’s day 5k!
Definitely going to the in-laws. My mom is 13 hours away 🙁
im calling my momma and will send her a card and present but thats about it. unfortunately, we dont live clise so i dont see her but a couple times a year. when i do see her though, its always worth it!
I’ll be heading off to church, then will have lunch with all 3 of my kids. The oldest just returning for the summer from college. Of course dad will pay for lunch! Then it’s whatever mom wants to do – clean up the gardens, the yard, or the garage – probably the latter to get ready for a high school graduation party!
I go to school in a different country than my parents so I’m going to put together a video/slideshow for her on youtube (hopefully she’ll be able to figure out the internetz) and order an edible arrangement to their house. (I’m just secretly hoping there will be left over chocolate when I go home after exams)
My niece who is 7 weeks old asked me to get my sister (she’s a first year mom and I’m a baby whisperer) a herb garden. So, I purchased 8 herbs and bought a pot to put them in. Fresh herbs for my sister from my niece.
Then for my own mom, I found this awesome ceramic pot and I’m purchasing a few annuals to put it. A reminder of me every time she comes home. 🙂
I’m taking my mom out shopping and then out to dinner : D Should be a great day!
Sadly I will be celebrating by wishing my mother a happy mothers day over the phone since I live in Utah and she lives in Illinois. We are getting family pictures taken of my husband’s side of the family for his mom though!
We gave my mom a cell phone a few years ago that all of us six kids rotate the cost for so that’s always her present from us. Kind of weird, but you know how the grandmas don’t always get (as in understand) the latest gadgets.
We’re keeping it pretty low key this year & getting both my mom and mother-in-law each a gift certificate to a local nursery and I am totally taking the day off for myself.
I’m going to lunch with my parents, and then dinner with my boyfriends’s parents . Busy!
I’m going to make my mom a big healthy breakfast and try to come up with a cute craft to make for her! Gotta love pinterest to get ideas!
Im sending off gift cards for the mom and mom in law. Perhaps a premothers day lunch. As for moi, Im going for a run, making my kiddos make me breakfast. Then its bath time ALONE, chinese food and online shopping, uniterupted. Im asking for a medal hanger…asking for it on the wipeboard, in text messages, in demanding conversations….I just want to chill, get covered in baby boy kisses but not be bugged with legos and transformers and dirty diapers. Dream big I say.
Sweet!! Going to a spa for the day with my mom and 2 sisters!
Not sure on Mother’s Day plans yet. My FI and son are on their own to plan something for us to do for the day! 🙂
I think hosting Mothers day brunch will be fun!
On an unrelated note, love the nail polish color!!! Do you remember the name? Also-do you wear always your wedding band above your engagement ring instead of “traditionally” below it? Love the blue stones too!
I am taking my mom to brunch to celebrate her new job and giving her a necklace with all of her kids names engraved on it for Mother’s Day. Thank you Etsy!
I’m celebrating Mother’s Day this year by making my mother a mix CD (how 90’s?), buying her flowers and a new book.
Eat Live Move
As my mother has long since passed I will be spending Mothers Day with my lovely mother in law…
Hopefully we’ll be playing a round of “Hand & Foot”…
Maybe I’ll let her win. On second thought no way! Either way I’ll give her a big ole hug and tell her how awesome she is!
I am going to send my mom a gift in the mail for sure, and maybe take her out to eat the next time she comes to visit.
Taking my mom for a hike & bringing a picnic for lunch!
I’m actually celebrating my first Mom’s Day this year…and I’ll be celebrating it at my sister’s post-wedding brunch. Brunch with mom? Always a fun way to celebrate.
