Mother's day came a little earlier this year compared to last year's celebration. And, added a couple of days earlier too because the weekend of Saturday and Sunday was on total lockdown in my city.
So, people celebrated Mother's day at home last May 9, Friday and May 11, Monday.
This is the first time that we celebrated Mother's day at home and can't go out and have dinner with the family. I am thankful though that still we can communicate with the people we love and people that matter to us and through social media.
For us, I was surprised again by my children, my son sent me greetings through Facebook and a story of a photo of me from our last lunch in Manila, where we met up with him. My daughter made me a personalized Mother's day card, as always. She always finds time to make me handmade cards to whatever occasion. She also baked brownie chips for dessert.
For dinner, we had baked chicken in butter and olive oil, with garlic, potatoes, and onion. I had a glass of red wine to paired with.
Before the evening ended, I had several video calls with my Mommy friends along with our available booze at home, haha!
It was a fun quarantined Mother's Day celebration.
I hope you had fun too!
How did you celebrate Mother's Day?
PS. we still have some leftover chicken from last night and it will be served for lunch, gottta save up food and no time to waste.
We just stayed home and did some yard work that I have been wanting to get done. Then my hubby cooked me a nice dinner.
ReplyDeleteMothers day was a long time ago for me and we were just starting our isolation at this point and its nice we can still do nice things for our families when we are feeling low and slightly traped hope you are safe and well
ReplyDeleteI rested in bed, got some blog work done in peace and quiet, and ate some tasty ice cream cake :-) it was so nice!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t do much this Mother’s Day. I pretty much stayed in the house.
ReplyDeleteI got to sleep in and have coffee in bed. The kids made amazing pictures for me and 'hid' them around the house - super day for me
ReplyDeleteMother's Day was a nice day for me but we did not eat so well. We did spend a lot of time together. I know there were no brunches or dinners out and that is sad.
ReplyDeleteIt was a different time yesterday! It was my husband's birthday also so we had his favorite dessert and pizza.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a great Mother's Day celebration! I celebrated with my kids and husband, but I missed getting together with my mom.
ReplyDeleteWe had a good day! We picked up food so I didn't have to cook and my kids were sweet.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrated Mother's Day at home, too! Due to the pandemic going on, it's better to stay at home and have a quality time with your family. Hope you had a wonderful celebration.
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing a lot of take out to try to support our local restaurants. Hubby had to work so he picked up my favorite dinner and we had a quiet night. A lot different than in previous years but it was okay.
ReplyDeleteOur Mother's Day was a family holiday! The best ever all together at home!
