Much to my boyfriend's chagrin, I am one of those people who loves nothing more than having the whole family together. So, I think my ideal mother's day would include ALL the mom's in our family (me, my sisters, my brother's wife, my mom, his mom etc) going for a manicure/pedicure. We could gossip and chat and drink lattes. catch up on each others lives, and just plain relax together. Mom's united in relaxation!
While we are out, the men and children of the family can prepare a lovely mother's day lunch, and we could all celebrate together because nothing means more to mom than family!
That being said, we all live busy lives, and I sincerely doubt that my oldest sister is coming down from Ottawa! BUT, you wanted my ultimate mother's day, not my real mother's day which will probably consist of a card and some flowers and maybe a few one-of-a-kind pieces of art. All of which will be priceless in my eyes.
This mother's day will be my 4th mother's day, but it marks the celebration of my first Step-mother's day. The more the merrier, I say!
