As a mom, Mother’s Day is seriously one of my favorite days of the year. It’s the chance to get spoiled with adorable handmade presents {my favorite!} and an excuse not to cook {my other favorite!}. I also love getting the chance to spoil my own mom and mother-in-law, who both do so much to keep our family running smoothly.
If you’re looking for some ideas on things to do with your mom or the special ladies in your life, here are some ideas from workouts to brunches across Southeast Michigan from some fellow local bloggers:
