FOR THE LOVE OF MOM:
There is something beautifully simple about taking the woman who has fed everyone else for years and saying, this time, let someone feed you. Mother’s Day is the one day where the reservation is made, the table is set, and the only thing mom has to do is show up and order whatever she wants. No dishes, no planning, no asking what everyone else is in the mood for. Just a beautiful meal, the people she loves most sitting across from her, and a kitchen she didn’t have to cook in. This is her day. Make it a delicious one. Here are options we know she’ll love.
