Many of us pay tribute to our fallen soldiers by playing flowers on gravesites or memorials. A national moment of remembrance happens at 3:00 pm local time.

Like any occasion, we’re free to pay our respects in our own way with quiet thoughts or through prayer. Also, the day is reserved for a day with loved ones; where we fire up the grill and get the pool ready for a day of lounging, or if you have kids, cannonballs.

Either way, accidents can happen, and sickness never takes a break for holidays. If you need medical help, our doors are open.

Telemedicine appointments are also available on Tuesday, May 26th.

Again, stay healthy and safe, and enjoy your time with family and friends.

To make it unique this year for your Mom, you may need to think outside the box. Luckily we’re here to help you out and share some great ideas to make this Mother’s Day special.

While things are lightening up regarding social distancing, we wanted to keep everybody safe and maintain a distance.

You’ve had your entire life to make grand plans for Mother’s day when you could go and visit her face to face. Here are a few ideas to keep you and your Mom safe this year and make it one to remember.

A Care Package with Care

It can be tough to get all the things you need for day-to-day life; sometimes, you forget about or don’t even think about picking up. On top of that, there are some things you aren’t willing to spend the money on due to life circumstances. 

Put some ease into your Mom’s life by putting together a lovely care package for her. Whether you put it into a woven wicker basket or a cardboard box, you can piece together a handful of items that you feel she needs or will enjoy. Make it look nice and leave it on her doorstep for her to find.

What’s Mom’s Favorite Food?

Some of us may take the time on Mother’s Day to make your Mom a home-cooked meal; seeing as that’s a little more difficult this year, we wanted to suggest a nice alternative.

Most restaurants have some form of delivery right now or can be utilized by services like DoorDash. Find your Mom’s favorite restaurant, or even something a little fancy if she’d like it.

Set up a video chat with your Mom about the time it should be delivered to see her surprise. Maybe let dad know what your planning so he can help coordinate things. 

Fun and Games with Mom

This one will take a little more planning and work, but it will be something that will be memorable for years to come and might be a new tradition for future years.

Once you plan out the clues and what the ultimate prize will be in the end, you can sneak over Sunday morning or even Saturday night to set up a Scavenger hunt in/around your Mother’s home.

See her Face-to-Face

Nothing quite feels the same during these family love holidays without seeing your Mom and having a chat. Give her a call through any of the many video chat services now available and take some time to sit with your Mom and talk about life and share how much you love her. 

You could do many different things this year to make Mother’s Day special; these are but a few ideas. Only you know what would make the day special, so it’s ultimately up to you to make it happen.

Nothing entirely replaces the hugs and kisses from her children and family, but it’s the thought that counts when you need to keep a distance.

Here are some things you can still do this weekend, and some new things you can add to your usual festivities.

Get Crafty with Easter Eggs

Have the little ones color eggs and really get into the Easter spirit this year. This may be something you normally do with a few of their friends over, so maybe you can join in this year and color some of your own.

Get into the holiday a little more than usual and decorate your home. The kids can color some pictures and hang them up, hide Easter eggs around the house and go on an in-home Easter egg hunt. Have a ton of fun with the holiday and make it memorable for everyone involved. 

It’s a Great Time for New Traditions

This is a great opportunity to go back to basics. Without all the extra ta-da! of making a big holiday dinner and the distraction of visiting guests, you can take the time to introduce some new ideas to your family.

You can have a family fun game night, or maybe break the projector and screen out and have a movie night picnic in the backyard. You can still have your family dinner, but this year you can use the “nice” dinnerware since you won’t have so many more people to entertain.

Enjoy Streaming Easter Services 

If you and your family traditionally go to church on Easter, you can still enjoy a sermon without physically being there. Many religious venues have adapted to the situation and have begun live streaming their services online.

Whether on Facebook, YouTube, and sometimes via your church’s website, you can still be present for a service. Look them up online to see what they’re doing to make their service available for viewing.

Don’t let the current situation control the narrative for your family holiday this year. You can make memories that your kids will remember forever. Use social distancing to your advantage and spend quality time with those closest to you.
