Mother’s Day, a day of celebration dedicated to the moms and the mom-like figures in our lives. They spent our whole lives caring for us and looking after us. The mom instinct is like no other! Its a special occasion designated for moms, and we want to help you show your appreciation on that day to make them feel loved!
From places to eat and things to, Chicago is your area! If you’re struggling to think of the perfect mothers day gift ideas maybe think more of things to do versus actual gifts. It’s beautiful to create lasting memories for her and everyone else involved. This means focusing on experiences rather than material things!
To give you an idea, keeping it simple with a bouquet of flowers with a mothers day card containing a nice message telling her the plan for the day is something that would go a long way!
Where to Brunch
There are a few different spots in the hub of Chicago that are offering Mother’s Day specials. Who doesn’t enjoy a good brunch. You can choose to have a cocktail or two, no one is counting!
