First of all:
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
Now, I realize that today is actually Mother's Day so these ideas for a Mother's Day shindig will probably go on the back burner until next year. Still, it'll give you plenty of time to come up with something to blow mom's socks off with next year!
A Party? For Mother's Day?
Sure! A party is really just two or more people celebrating something -- a holiday, milestone, achievement, success, etc... Mother's Day certain falls in this realm. Mother's are forever planning parties and events for their children, why not plan something in her honor?
I ran over to Squidoo to see what suggestions were available. As always, I was not disappointed. Squidoo really is a fount of information. If you search for "Mother's Day", you will be rewarded with ideas for gifts, crafts, trivia, cards, poems, songs, gift baskets and, of course, food.
Then, I searched for Mother's Day Party and was pointed towards some really cool ideas for celebrating this wonderful person in your life.

Do Something for Mom
Moms are great and we should celebrate them more than once a year but doing it up nicely on Mother's Day can't hurt. Take some time to research and plan a wonderful party or get-together for your mom. She'll always remember...
Wishing everyone and their mother a wonderful Mother's Day, 2014!

Either of these options would be a fun way for me and my children to celebrate Mother's Day. I do love picnics, but I also love tea parties. Ironically, my daughter and I had our version of a "tea party" as we drank coffee and chatted for 2 hours, just the 2 of us, this morning. Likewise, my son and I spent the afternoon picnicking & chatting in the backyard while planning the summer flower beds. In the end, all the really matters is that my children each took a few hours out of their days to spend with me. This evening, I will have dinner with my mother and thank God that I am so blessed. I know to treasure these moments and time because they will not always be possible.
