Want to make mom feel extra special this Mother's Day? 

Here are six ways to celebrate mom in Kent County - Cranston this Mother's Day:  

1. Host a game day featuring...mom!

A few years back when I was a bit completely behind with my Mother's Day planning, I found these amazing printable games that are centered around mom. We all (kids included!) had so much fun together being silly and learning more about our amazing mom. You can find other printable games on Etsy or, if you are more technologically advanced than I am, you can use Kahoot to create your own digital trivia quiz about mom.

2. Craft a homemade project that she'll cherish forever

Special gifts don't have to be expensive, just given out of love. Etsy has adorable (and easy) printable projects for the kids that will show mom how much she is loved! You can also try this Recycled Magazine Butterflies craft!

6. Treat mom to dinner

Make a family dinner at home — grilled pizza is a fun one for kids to help with. Don't forget dessert! Try this Salted Caramel Skillet Brownie.
