PREVIEW: Mother’s Day Events Guide
The month of May represents a lot of things. It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Jewish Heritage Month and more. It’s supposed to be the month that brings flowers after April dumps a whole bunch of rain on us. And last but certainly not least (especially for the purpose of this article you’re reading), it’s the month that contains Mother’s Day — the designated one (?) day a year we’re supposed to show the true heroes in our lives our unconditional love, support and appreciation. Seems like this should happen more often, eh??
Below, we’re going to highlight a handful of events taking place in honor of Mother’s Day, in hopes that you’ll find something to add to your — and your mum’s — calendar. Enjoy a nice brunch out or an artistic workshop. Go for a run and have a mimosa or five afterwards. Or… just give her a call if she’s not local. After all, you literally wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her.
