Today, after weed whacking the entire garden area full of 3 ft. weeds, I decided that I am going to start a new Mother’s Day tradition in my family. Instead of 
receiving gifts from my hubby and kid(s) I want the Saturday before Mother’s Day to be “mom’s day”. The first half of the day will be spent with everyone doing whatever I ask with no complaining (ya right, I know. I am hoping if I start while my son is 17 mos. he will not know any better). Service is my “love language” so this is my dream! It will be an amazing time to catch up on projects or assign chores I am dying to have done.
To keep morale high and keep the tradition going, the evening will be spent having a fun dinner and family activity like game night or going mini golfing. Doesn’t this sound AMAZING? Now I just have to go break the news to my family. Wish me luck! 😉
I just told my hubby and it was far less painful than I anticipated!! Woo hoo! I can’t wait for next year! I think he might be counting on the fact that I forget, but I won’t!!!
Do you have any Mother’s Day traditions?
Oh, I really, really like it!
No traditions yet. My oldest is 6, you’d think I’d have something by now. But I did get to go out shopping by myself yesterdayfor a few hours. I want that to be my tradition. On Saturday I just want to do whatever I want with no complaints. 🙂 Happy Mommy’s Day!!!♥
Great idea!!
