Celebrate Spunky Old Broad Day with your Mom on Feb 1

Does your elderly mother need a little silliness in her life – a little something unexpected to brighten her day? Maybe getting together and celebrating this completely fun and silly holiday, Spunky Old Broad Days, will be a fun way to plan a day together on Feb 1 this year.

Homecare in Amagansett NY: Spunky Old Broad Day

Spunky Old Broad Day was created by Dr. Gayle Carson and is an actual trademarked holiday celebrating women over 50, and the joy and life they bring to the world. The day celebrates women who are independent, outgoing, resourceful, and anything but shy. If these attributes describe your mother, here are some fun ways to celebrate this special day with her.

Have a favorite meal together

Why not treat Mom to her favorite meal on Feb 1? While going out to restaurants is still very limited in many areas, either you or your home care provider could prepare her favorite foods for a lunch or dinner date. You might also want to cater in a meal from her favorite restaurant. Make a point to use the fine china and best glassware to make the meal extra special. Don’t forget to treat yourselves to a decadent dessert from her favorite place.

Enlist the whole family

Let everyone celebrate that your mom is a Spunky Old Broad. Enlist grandkids to create homemade cards for Grandma that tell her what they love most about her. Have siblings get creative and either purchase or make small gifts to give to your aging parent. Depending on your mother’s tolerance for silliness, they can even be gag gifts, purchased or made to simply make her laugh.

Have a family zoom gathering

Have you or your home care provider help your mom log into a family zoom meeting where all the participants will share their favorite stories of what makes your mom a Spunky Old Broad. She’ll love hearing the stories of long ago and might have a few fun stories to share as well. Set the meeting to record so she can enjoy it again and again.

Decorate her home

Purchase a bunch of balloons in her favorite colors, make a big banner and hang some streamers to make it a true celebration of the day. If possible, ask her home care provider to take her out somewhere for a few hours so it can be a complete surprise when she arrives back home.

Watch a movie together

Spend a quiet afternoon or evening together watching some fun movies with spunky old broads, such as Driving Miss Daisy, Calendar Girls, or the Over the Hill Band. Get some favorite snacks, snuggle under a blanket and escape the real world for a while.

No matter how you decide to spend the day celebrating your mom, she’s sure to appreciate the extra attention and you’ll be building more great memories together. And your mother will be in good company with some of the other great Spunky Old Broads of the Year like Cloris Leachman, Dolly Parton, and Katie Couric.
