I Love You Day is a very special day for bonding and spending quality time together. By engaging each other during a day full of these games and activities, not only will you get to know each other even better than you already do, but you will also share lots of laughs and lasting memories to remember for days to come.
Activities:
 | To start your spa off right, give mom her book of coupons and let her cash in on a couple right away. |
 | Have fun giving her a facial or back rub, combing her hair, or soaking her feet. Make sure to have some homemade recipes on hand! |
| Finally, get to know mommy a little better with our special questionnaire. |
Pooh, Tigger, Darby, and Roo are always game for checking out the goings-on in nature, especially when it's springtime and everything outdoors wears its best colors and smells. Pull mom up from her spa chair and head outdoors for a walk through your backyard, down the road, or to the park!
Optional: Bring along a camera and preserve memories both of what you find and of your special one-on-one time with mom.
