This year will mark my 40th Mother's Day. Over the years, I've received many homemade cards, pictures, plants, flowers, candies, cookies and the unexpected palm tree (long story) from my three kids. For the past eleven years, I've also been blessed to get those same priceless gifts from my grandchildren. So when I thought what I could suggest for this very meaningful and sentimental day, I decided to go outside the box. I looked on-line and did some research on some unique offerings for moms out there. Here's what I found:
--Mothers' Day Brunch at Cavanaugh's On the River this Mother's Day from 11AM - 2PM with live music from Bob Green!Click here to view the full menu: bit.ly/3TU5mhW

--Owensboro Convention Center inviting you to enjoy a brunch buffet with breakfast, entree, and dessert stations on Sunday, May 11. Owensboro CC
--If you have a tight budget, think about a gift that costs little or nothing but would be of high value like cleaning her house or her car; gather those photos of you and her as you grew up and post them on Facebook or Instagram; find that movie that makes you smile or cry every time because it reminds you of the kind of mom she is and share it with her (with fresh-popped popcorn, of course); make a list of everything you have to thank her for--THAT would make any mom's day!
Thinking of all moms this special day and appreciating everything you do! Whether it's homemade or store-bought, know that it comes from the heart.
And to the three people who call me "Mom", you are the best gift I've ever received.
