Absolutely nothing!
Both my family and DH's think its just a waste of time and money - we also feel this way about valentines day. We would rather make a bigger deal of someones birthday or a date like that which is far more personal.
To me mothers/fathers day is an excuse for people to buy presents and shops love it cause they make enough off of it.

I will be celebrating my mum. I love mothers day, not because I'm going to be a mum but because it's a day for my mum and she deserves lots of special days. We usually don't buy gifts but I am getting a whole lot of things for my mum this year! I'm going to spoil her rotten!

I will probably have to get up at about 6am to feed Josh. Then i'm putting him back to bed and DH can get Andrew to make me breakfast. I know Andrew has started making something at preschool for me. Will probably go out during the day to see our mum's.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Just the other day, DH was saying, "On Mother's Day, we'll go see my mum, then we'll visit Grandma, since we haven't seen her in a while." Hey, man, what about me?
Last Mother's Day (my first one) wasn't terribly exciting, as we had a three-month-old baby who refused to sleep. This year, I'm thinking breakfast in bed, a nice card, calling my own mother in the US, then maybe being taken out to lunch. Then DH can take Em to visit his mum and grandma while I shop UNHURRIED and BY MYSELF, without someone interrupting me needing a drink, nappy change, snack, nap, grabbing things off the shop shelves, throwing toys from the pram, trying to escape from the pram harness, taking off her shoes and biffing them at strangers, eating her socks, screaming when old ladies peer into the pram, and generally making me wish I'd stayed home.

Just don't tell your DH about all that side of things or he might not be so keen to take on the sweet Emma!

LOL busymum, it's the one day of the year when he can't refuse to take her, since I'm the boss on Mother's Day! But don't worry, I will have a contingency plan in place, just in case he twigs...

I have no idea what, if anything I'll be getting this mother's day. We're having dinner with my family and ( WOOHOO!!) MIL is away on holiday, so that leaves most of the day for me being spoiled rotten We'll see how that goes, LOL

We are broke from just buying a new car so it will be a fairly quiet affair for us - maybe I might get some seat covers for it  but I suspect Dh will make me breakfast in bed ( along with a huge mess in our kitchen).
For my mum - we are postponing it a week as my sis is coming over from Aussie and it'll be the 1st time in about 6 or 7 years we are altogether for mothers day. (and now with the addition of a granddaughter and one on the way), she has said having us all there is a huge present and not to get anything else but we will get her something wee.
For MIL We are having a huge roast lamb at our house this weekend, and postponing her present for a few months, as she is going to Aussie for a holiday in June (1st time overseas EVER) and while she is overseas we are going to extreme makeover her bedroom (paint, carpet, new duvet, curtains and drawers etc), she will love this as has never really had anything new all to herself.
