The precious mothers and mother figures in our lives deserve to be appreciated everyday but May 12 is a special day to truly pamper them. There are many different ways to celebrate Mother’s Day, but each mother is different and should be honored accordingly.

Perhaps your mother finds enjoyment in shopping. Treat her to a little retail therapy at local shops like Two Chicks boutique on Shelbyville Road. Or maybe Magnolia and Fig on Frankfort Avenue. You can browse through the one-of-a-kind jewelry, clothes and home décor together. Your mother doesn’t like shopping? No problem treat her to a delicious brunch!

Bring your mother and the family to Selena’s at Willow Lake Tavern on La Grange Road. Order her some beignets and mimosas while watching the koi fish swim in the outdoor fountain. Maybe surprise her with a reservation at Brasserie Provence on Hurstbourne Parkway where she can indulge with some delicious comfort food, specialty wines, cooking classes and homemade sweet tea.

Is your mother a nature lover? Plan a surprise picnic at the Parklands of Floyds Fork and enjoy the summer sun under a shady tree with your mom. Pack your picnic basket with a delicious sandwich and fresh fruit from Paul’s Fruit market. While strolling through Paul’s, check out their collection of flowers to gift your mother and make her day extra special.

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching so make sure to plan a day to honor your mother and make her the center of attention and feel appreciated for all her hard work.
