You Say: What Vancouver Moms Want for Mother’s Day
We’ve all seen and heard the ads telling us what to get our mothers for Mother’s Day. And while cards and flowers and chocolate are all really lovely, we had a hunch that what Vancouver moms really want to receive is something different. We decided to find out for ourselves whether or not we were right. In our latest You Say feature we headed to Facebook and Twitter asked you what you’d most love to receive. Read what you had to share and see how your own hopes compare.
You Say: Mother’s Day Edition
Here’s what you shared with us on Facebook about what you most want for Mother’s Day.
Jackie Ebdon Mandzak shared, “I would love to have my gazebo put up. It’s in pile on the deck waiting. Barring that some Lindt sea salt milk chocolate, drawings or something made by my boys and breakfast in bed.”
Kelly Zwartouw said she would love, “A day of not doing housework…breakfast in bed….flowers! A card by my daughter would also be lovely.”
For Mother’s Day Sandra Murta is hoping for, “Sleeeeeeeep… oh the housework thing as well… not having to cook, and above all not having to remind my husband of it (our son is just a toddler).”
Julia Skelley said she had a particular Mother’s Day gift in mind: “Vitamix!”

Danielle Lara Conrad is hoping that her Mother’s Day involves, “My husband to actually get up first/early and take my son out so I can lie in bed and read my book while drinking tea! I’ve given up on actually sleeping in but to me, ultimate decadence is reading in bed in the morning.”
