After consuming Franken-pancakes this past Mother’s Day, we sighed at the loveliness of being appreciated. Then we headed to the kitchen to scrape the batter off the ceiling.
Our well-meaning families don’t seem to realize that the best present (after their unconditional love) is a bit of time to ourselves. That’s why Sweetmama is declaring Saturday, October 25 Mother’s Day Off. We want to create a new holiday that gives moms a break from the day-to-day: The invisible, thankless, “nobody can do it like Mom” tasks.
So call that babysitter, grab your favourite ladies and spend an afternoon at Montreal’s sweetest spots for pedicures, manicures and massages (or head to the spa for all of the above)! Realign your chakras (and your spine) with that workout you’re often too busy to get to.
Want to have a meal uninterrupted? Grab some pizza, sushi, or something sweet and have a good chinwag. Have a coffee (or something stronger) without the fear of spills. See a movie, buy yourself some new jeans, or bid on super sweet items in our Mother’s Day Off Auction benefitting SickKids Foundation.
Come on mamas! Declare tomorrow a day off and reclaim some time for yourselves. (You can blame us.)
