First—Happy Mothers’ Day to all mothers out there, and if you happen to be on a home exchange at the same time, I hope it makes the day especially memorable for you!

I know for a fact that it’s going to be much easier to celebrate Mothers’ Day while home exchanging than could ever be possible in a hotel. The children aren’t going to be crammed into just one, or maybe two rooms with you. After dinner they can be tucked up in bed and the adults can enjoy some significant time together with a bottle of wine and maybe a favorite dvd. Often home exchangers find that their exchange partners have left them a list of reputable baby sitters, so a meal out for just the two of them in a recommended restaurant might also be possible. Even breakfast in bed for Mom, prepared in a proper family kitchen by Dad is a great possibility.

What could be more memorable than waking up to the aroma of fresh brewed coffee, a tray set with a rose from the garden and your family, each bearing a Mothers’ Day card? And the fact that it happened in your exchange home makes it especially ‘once in a lifetime’.
