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 mom and mother-in-law, who both do so much to keep our family running smoothly.
If you’re looking for ideas on things to do with your mom or the special ladies in your life, I’ve collaborated with some fantastic local bloggers to bring you ideas for how to celebrate across southeast Michigan:

Suggestions I received from my local mom’s group, but do not have a formal Mother’s Day event include the Bloody Mary bar and prime rib at Wooly Bully’s {Howell}, or reservations at Black Rock {Hartland}, Buon Gusto, The Wooden Spoon, Brighton Bar & Grill or Ciao Amici’s. There are plenty of fantastic options to keep it local!
