Mother's Day

As Moms all over the Missoula area got up to enjoy their breakfast in bed on Mother's Day, they were treated to a good, old-fashioned snowstorm, courtesy of our northern neighbors.

Mother’s day is a great day to be a mom. It’s the one day of the year when moms get a little appreciation for all the things they do. Of course, just one day probably isn’t enough to really show moms just how you feel about them and how awesome they are.

No matter how pinched the household budget, we’re still going to do our best to keep Mom out of the kitchen for Mother’s Day. Restaurants still expect it will be the busiest day of the year, according to the National Restaurant Association --about 38 percent of all Americans will dine out that day.

There is going to be quite a bit to do on Mothers Day Eve in Missoula! We are teaming up with Mamalode to host an event called, appropriately, the Mothers Day Eve Party at the Stonecreek Lodge on Airway Boulevard this Saturday from 7p-10pm.

1. Breakfast in bed. Add a flower in a vase for bonus points. 2. Handprint crafts. Whether on paper, in plaster, on a flower pot or apron, she's bound to love it.

Mothers have been communicating with their children via handwritten notes for years. Some mothers put more of a humorous spin on their notes than others, however. With Mother's Day right around the corner, we're hoping the children of the moms behind these hilarious notes have something awesome planned for them:    

Is it easier to find a gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day?

With Mother's Day just around the corner, we thought it might be a good time for some reflection. Our moms can be pretty annoying sometimes, what with all the calling and emailing, but it's only because they care. Unfortunately, not all moms have a warm, motherly heart; here's our list of 10 Mothers Only a Son Could Love, some fictional, and some terrible, horribly real...

Oh, moms. A generation of "digital immigrants," our moms have a real love/hate relationship with technology. While most moms we know love their iPads/Kindles/iPhones/weird off-brand tablets, they also seem to have a very hard time figuring them out, and have a tendency to get overwhelmed by tech problems.

You may look at this list and think that many of them are cliches. However, they are only cliches because they are true. Everything on this list is truely what mothers want. I know, as a mother of four that I would love to get any and all of these things for Mother’s day ...
