An easy answer would be to do the same as you would expect of her on 
Father's Day but that is probably male logic and it might not work on 
female emotions.

Another way to go is better safe than sorry.  Balance how much trouble 
it would be to approximate the type of event she expects with the grief 
to be suffered if you don't make it happen.

Then there is the situation with children.  Since you help create them 
there seems to be an expectation to act as their representative to 
ensure that a proper celebration of the Mother is held.

You must have faced this dilemma before.  What worked and didn't work in 
the past.  As with anything, stick with what works.
