Forget Mother's Day! Instead, celebrate your own holiday. Luckily for me, my husband has always made me a priority in his life AND in his children's lives. Long ago, he and his children decided that in lieu of celebrating my contributions on Mother's Day, they would create a special holiday just for me. In our home, "Stepmom Day" is always the Monday following Father's Day. It's become a big 2-day family tradition. Weeks in advance, I secretly arrange with my stepchildren all sorts of treats and surprises for their Dad to enjoy on Sunday, and he secretly arranges with them the same for me - For him, breakfast in bed, gifts, "golf with Dad," and dinner at his favorite restaurant - For me, homemade cards and flowers, a day of my favorite food and activities, etc... The kids get so excited planning everything, and we always have a blast!!!
