Mother’s Day Activities for Anyone and Everyone ?

Moms come in all shapes and styles and so do the ways they want to celebrate. Here are some of our favorite ideas...


Want to enjoy some alone time? Try these!

Be one with nature

Sometimes all you need is a little peace and quiet. One of the best ways to do that is either head up to the mountains, take a walk or just enjoy lunch in a park. Enjoy the light breeze, the chirping birds and gorgeous greenery. 

Browse available Colorado guidebooks to bring along your next adventure.

Get a massage

Spend the day with rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. Try a DIY at home day or book a massage at a local spa!

Go to the movies

Ever tried going to the movies solo? Get a popcorn and drink, take a deep breath in the cozy reclined seat and enjoy a well-deserved cinematic piece! 

Want to stay home? Visit the library to pick out a favorite movie, opens a new window. Head home, close the door, turn the lights out and wrap up in a cozy blanket!


Want to enjoy some family time? Try these!

Go camping (and hiking)!

May is the beginning of summer and what's a better way to enjoy the warmer weather than spending the weekend outdoors?! There are many gorgeous spots to choose from.

Board game night

Fill the evening with laughter and a little competition! Want to make it a little more unique? "Mom" gets to choose the game, the meal and where it will be played (outside? at a restaurant? in the living room?).

Bake together

Have a sweet recipe but never enough time to make it? Gather the family and bake it together. A great way to get others involved and enjoy it all at once. Need some dessert inspiration?
