When Mother’s Day approaches, everyone usually thinks of gifting their mother flowers, cards, jewelry, coffee mugs etc ( I know I do), but this year, I am not going to get her anything, but instead spend quality time with her… like going to the spa, shopping, visiting a flee market, go to a movie, or even spend time outdoors. Our Mother’s do so much for us and the least we could do is spend the day with them, after all that’s really all they want – they don’t care about you showering gifts to them (even though they probably wouldn’t mind it). So, take a step back and think about what Mother’s Day is really about. Thank your mom for all she does for you, she will truly appreciate it. 🙂
Since this post was about my mom, I thought I was share some pictures of us together from the past couple of years.
How will you be spending your day with your Mother on Mother’s Day?
P.S. I am headed on a little vacation to Colorado for a week. Follow along on snapchat: amandaglandorf to keep up with all the adventures 🙂
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend! 🙂
I love this! Me and my mom are besties so I love seeing other mother-daughter duos who seem to be as close as we are. I’m doing a series of mom-oriented posts the week before Mother’s Day and I can’t wait to celebrate my amazing mom how you’re celebrating yours.

Thanks Allison! That’s a good idea for a blog post! I hope you have a fun time with your mom on Mother’s Day!
Love all the pictures of you and your mom, they are so sweet! I feel like I don’t have very many pictures with my mom as an adult.
You both look gorgeous at your weddings! Love both your dresses and your fun bouquet! So unique!!
Thanks so much Justine! My mom and I are always going places and doing things so we have a lot of pictures together. My mom actually made my bouquet for my wedding.
so sweet! I agree. My mom just wants to spend time, all of us together.

I think all moms prefer that 🙂
My mom and I are close so I totally relate. She deserves to be spoiled for all that she’s done for me!
There’s nothing wrong with spoiling mom’s 😉
This made me cry. I lost my mom when I was a teen and I would love to have the opportunity to spend time with her. I think that’s why I prefer doing things with family than the stuff.
So sorry to hear about your mother Erlene. I couldn’t imagine my life without mine. I hope you do something fun with your family on Mother’s day. <3
What a beautiful post. Honestly, spending time with your mom is MORE important than buying her anything. You’re so sweet! xx adaatude.com
Thanks Adaleta! 🙂
Love this post Amanda! My mom has always told everyone not to get her anything on Mothers day, noting bought at the store could ever give her what her kids and family do which is so true but I always feel the need to get her things, or at least make her something (she likes homemade gifts even though I’m not 5 anymore, ha). I’m taking my mom on spa trip this year!

Thanks Taylor! My mom always says the same thing every year too! I’m not sure what I am doing with my mom yet for Mother’s Day… a spa trip sounds like a great idea!
What a beautiful post and so inspiring! Your mother is stunning! Im sure she appreciated this post 🙂

Thanks Mary! 🙂
I love this post because it is so true. All I want to do with my mom is spend time with her, even when it’s not Mother’s Day. However, do you have any good ideas for Mother’s Day gifts for mothers/ mother in laws that we cannot spend time with on the actual day? I still live in Texas while my husband goes to school and both of our moms are in North Carolina and I’m not sure when we will see them again. I would greatly appreciate any ideas you might have!
Hi there Danielle, I can certainly email you and give you some ideas 🙂 Thanks for following along on my blog.
