Mother's Day is May 10th and even though we're all stuck in a pandemic, that doesn't mean we can't still do some great things for and with our amazing moms. I, like many others, have been struggling to come up with something to do for our amazing mothers for Mother's Day this year.
Out of a desperate attempt for ideas, I went to Instagram, Twitter, and 4 different Facebook groups asking everyone what they wanted if they were mothers, and what they were doing for their mothers for this Mother's Day. Over three-hundred people answered and even though we may in a pandemic, and these may only be the top forty-four, the replies really will warm your hearts and spark some ideas for your own Mother's Day celebrations.
