3. Make your favourite meal
There is nothing more comforting than coming home to a meal prepared by your mom. Why not return the favor and make her your favourite dish? If you’re unsure where to start, scoop up the Fraiche Food Full Hearts cookbook and pick a meal to make together.
4. Help her with her garden
If your mom is an avid gardener, there is a good chance that she would love nothing more than some help weeding or even some help with planting new seeds. What are you waiting for? Get in there and get your hands dirty! π€ͺ

5. Plan a workout
If your mama is a fitness enthusiast, why not plan an in-person (or virtual) workout the two of you can enjoy? Stretch things out in a yoga session or sweat it out with a quick and dirty HITT workout.
6. Send snail mail
Is there anything better than receiving a handwritten note in the mail? Why not make or buy your mom a Mother’s Day card and write a sentimental note telling her just how much you care!
