A New Mother's Day Tradition - Spending time outside

Published Date: May 6, 2013

Every family has their own Mother's Day traditions. Some include making mom breakfast in bed, taking her to her favorite restaurant, or bringing her a bouquet of flowers and a card that says, "I love and appreciate you."

But what better way to show how much you care than to break away from traditions by preparing a unique backyard getaway just for her. Take time freshen up the yard by sweeping up the dirt and debris on the patio, place new flowers and wipe down the patio furniture. Dress up your table with pastel linens topped with freshly picked flowers. Choose a family favorite meal to serve on her favorite china for a stylish celebration.

Trading the holiday crowds for quality time with loved ones on the patio will leave any mom satisfied on her special day. Make it a celebration she will never forget.
