It was always a big deal growing up, and I remember we as kids felt pressure that we had to do something for mom two days in a row. :) We would usually pick up flowers,(and that is literally, we would pick flowers out of neighborhood fields) to give on one day and then make or buy a gift for the next day.
Anyway, we don't really do anything special for March 8th, but I heard mom listening to the Bosnian news over the internet, as she has been every day, and on all the news the people they interviewed said what special they would do for a woman in their life, and most people mentioned they would give or would like to receive flowers. So, I surprised mom with a rose that evening, and she totally didn't expect it. Then Zoran came back later and brought her a bouquet of Gerber Daises. She was really surprised by that, as he rarely gives flowers. I rolled my eyes when I saw him at the door, because I actually got a dozen roses and hid them for her birthday, and only pulled one the day before. So we had lots of flowers!
After the photo shoot, and some deliberation on which restaurant to go to, we choose Bombay Bistro (since Zoran is now like an expert on Indian food). I was lovely, great atmosphere, and really good food.
And the celebrations didn't end there. Over the weekend we enjoyed the nice weather with coffee at the Mozart's and ended the day with some Bosnian style BBQ at home.
