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 Toronto’s sweetest spots for pedicures, manicures, massages (or better yet, come to our Spa-a-Thon)! Realign your chakras (and your spine) with that yoga class you’ve been neglecting.
Want to have a meal uninterrupted? Head to that hot new restaurant you’ve been dying to try. Indulge in something sweet with your long lost friends. Have a coffee (or something stronger) without the fear of spills. See a movie, do some window shopping, 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.)
