What does Mother’s Day look like to you? Sunday church, luncheons, family get-togethers?
Unfortunately, 2020 has a different idea.
Although some states are implementing less restrictions, we think it is safe to say that things will still not be “normal” for Mother’s Day this year. We have done some research and put together a special quarantine guide to Mother’s Day to help make this day special.
Virtual Events!
Virtual Wine Tasting
We have heard some really amazing things about this! You can explore Napa Valley without leaving your bedroom. There are many different options out there for this, so we recommend just typing in “virtual wine tasting” into Google and seeing which option is the best fit for you and your mom or significant other.

YUM! Head here for more details.
Virtual Art Classes
One thing that many mommas have in common- they are crafty! There are many virtual art classes offered out there for any kind of art your mom is interested in. These could also be something fun to do together! There are many options online, but this was our favorite.

Miss going to the bar for trivia night? Us too! A San Diego based engineer hosts a virtual trivia night every Sunday, and this is perfect for families to get together to participate!

Virtual Zoo Tours
Many zoos are offering online tours, and most for free! This is perfect for a mom that is an animal lover. Just go to your favorite zoo's website to see offers. If your zoo does not offer a virtual tour, we know San Diego Zoo is!
Zoom Parties
Arrange a zoom meeting for the family. Although it cannot take the place of a Mother’s Day luncheon or cookout, it can still be nice to see everyone’s faces and catch up. Plus, the mom in your life will thoroughly enjoy the effort it took to coordinate it!
