Last year you all loved our list… so here’s our picks for 2021!
Being a Mother is it’s own reward, but if you are looking for a special way to celebrate her this month, here are some of our suggestions.
1. Give a Memory…
MOMS LOVE PHOTOS!! They can be with her- or without (we recommend with as they become such a treasure). Contact any of the photographers in our directory, and see what they have got to offer. Jennifer Tesker’s Spring Minis are posted below, there’s flowers, a swing, and a chance to capture some truly special images at Stokes Farm. While you are there, grab a sweet treat and some flowers for the garden (a favorite gift of mine, is to go pick out all my flowers).
Already have memories and looking to display them? Did you know that Jennifer Tesker offers a service where you send her your wall and she designs the perfect layout??? JenniferTeskerPhotography@gmail.com
2. Order in…
(845) 735-9110
I enjoy going out to eat as much as the next gal…. but sometimes I can’t get it together, and I would just be more relaxed if I could stay at home and eat some great food. Well Luigi O’Grady’s makes that a little easier with their awesome Mother’s Day menu. Their food always delicious and affordable, there are some great choices on their Mother’s Day Menu.
3. Take her out…
Maybe you don’t want Mom to have to clean up after supper and you want to treat her to a night out on the town…. After the year that we had, she may be a little shy doing so. Lots of local places are offering dinner, or brunch etc, but I generally want to do something a little different from the norm.
One place I found that I thought was SO cool was this Peony Farm. It’s only 55 minutes away, and OUTDOORS, which I adore. Although I love it for the flower picking, day activity, and photo opportunity with the kids (no surprise to our readers), they also do this super cool DINNER in the field (BYOB) that I think is just amazing, and will have to try sooner rather than later. Dinner not for you? They have Friday Night Picnic opportunities as well.
4. Let Someone Pamper her…..
Moms can use some pampering once in a while- despite enjoying it, the mom guilt is real, and I always feel badly doing something for myself, even though my husband constantly tells me to go ahead. Here are some places that might fit the bill, what you are interested in.
- The Wholeness Center
- Joseph Taylor Salon (offers a ton of services- but Barbara is the BEST with hair)
- European wax center- yes I would love this, no its not an insult.
- Ms. Diva Nail Salon (on route 304)
5. Give her a home made keepsake…
Everyone knows I am partial to handprints- stop on by Jills Ceramics and made a one of a kind memento for the special women in your life.
6. Give her the gift of time…
Every mom would love if someone had a cleaning service (woman/man-whatever) come in and give my house a good once over. With how crazy busy life is I feel like I am always playing catch up and can’t get the whole house clean. If I could walk in one day and just have it sparkle, it would just be amazing. :o)
We use and recommend Dutchmen Cleaning- Michele and her team are amazing!!!
7. A sweet treat...
Chocolatier Matisse is the BEST, Danielle offers anything you can dream of; like her chocolate high heels filled with goodies, her smash flowers/hearts, or a gift box with chocolate covered strawberries and a little wine <3
8. Check off that “Honey Do List”
Visit Wallauer Paint & Design Center for all your home improvement needs. You can even schedule a custom window treatment, or interior design session for the special woman in your life. Can’t decide on a color? No problem! Right now there is a coupon for a buy one get one on Benjamin Moore Paint samples. Additionally, they have a coupon for spending $40 or more, and monthly contests to celebrate their 100th Anniversary!
9. Workout/Lounge Gear
I workout, frequently. It’s something I love to do, some women love to lounge in leggings. Either way, I’ve always been a whatever’s in the drawer type, but this past year I started purchasing “sets” of workout clothes. I fell in love with Ellie. The clothes are adorable, and comfortable, and affordable. Somehow it makes me feel even more inspired to go ahead and work out. I find the sizing to be spot on. (excuse my messy bedroom, here’s a photo of one of my outfits).

10. A timeless piece of jewelry…
You know how we love to shop local. We also LOVE excellent Customer Service. You get both at Bourghol Brothers Jewelry in Congers. I have designed my own pieces, gone and browsed theirs, you name it. They are always sweet, they notice your style and what you like (yes my husband has gone on his own and they REMEMBERED exactly what I was looking at, unplanned) and have great suggestions. I just recently reached out via email for a communion gift (info to come) for my daughter and Andrew was back to me within 24 hours ready to go.
