Ideas
for Mother�s Day
Stumped for something to do for Mum for Mother�s Day? Here are some suggestions from the WIE committee:
Seeing Your Mum
� Lunch and Shopping. Sunday shopping in Perth City, Fremantle, Harbourtown or the Subiaco Markets. All with convenient food outlets nearby
� Perth Zoo. Free entry for Mums on Mother�s Day - https://www.perthzoo.wa.gov.au/
� Flowers and plants. A lovely bunch of flowers, or find a nice plant � there�s an amazing range of roses available at nurseries. Azaleas and camellias are also good. Make sure to check if they need shade or full sun.
� Music and media. Find some live music around town, or CDs and DVDs. Some good CDs for Mums are Crowded House, Wendy Matthews, Dido, James Blunt or Jack Johnson, DVDs: anything from the ABC shop � Michael Palin �Himalaya� is a good bet.
� Brunch/lunch/dinner - at a nice restaurant. Try South Perth, Fremantle, Northbridge, Subiaco, Hillarys�
Away from Mum
� Flowers. Always a favourite, but you need to get the order in soon.
� Communicate! Give her a call, send her an email with a bunch of photos, set up a Flickr site (https://flickr.com/ ) � make sure to take some time about it and let her know what you�re up to.
� Personal Favours. Ask a friend/family member living near Mum to help deliver a gift for you if you�re out of time � or offer your services to friends and family who are out of town. (See above �Seeing you Mum� suggestions)
Missing Your Mum
� Create. Write about some of your favourite memories of your mother. Find and scan related photos. Share these stories with your children and/or loved ones.
� Communicate. Talk to family members who will also be missing Mum at this time. Spend time with your Dad.
� Cook. Think of your favourite recipes Mum made and try them out. Explain the significance of the food to those you share it with.
� Flowers and plants. Find some of your Mum�s favourites and set up a �Mum inspired� part of your garden.
