Traditions are the glue that hold many families together. I’m not sure how so many of them start, but they do and often take on a life of their own.
Our Mother’s Day tradition is one I look forward to each year. On the Saturday before Mother’s Day, my husband takes the kids and they visit my Mom’s nursery and pick out my annuals for the garden. On Sunday morning I get breakfast in bed and then get the whole day to putter in the garden, plant all the beautiful colors, and give my flower beds a fresh outlook on life.
I just took this picture of my side flower beds. All of the perennials are back and looking good. All it needs now are some bright daisies, wave petunias, celosia, and impatients.
What are your Mother’s Day traditions? Do you get breakfast in bed? Go out for lunch? Do your kids make you something special? Or is it just another day in “paradise” as they say?

We have no tradition so far but I like yours. I´m going to buy flowers with Vela so she has something for her mom.

I’ll be linking this friday if that’s okay. 
Oh and we normally go out to eat.

Ingo – it is a nice tradition and it gets everyone off the hook for having to put much thought into a gift.
Eliza – of course it is okay!

Thankfully my hubby works in the family nursery biz too. We’ll be hanging out in the yard and tinkering around in the flowers with a cookout Sunday. I’m sure I’ll capture more pics to put in my new picture frame

Gayla – I can’t wait to see all the pictures – I bet your garden will be gorgeous.
Sham – thanks! I am lucky to have a family that understands what really makes me happy (usually).

In the U.S. we always went on a picnic to a favorite park.
