Don't Forget Your Mama - Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11, 2008
Love your mama even if she's done you wronga.
Don't make her cook. Buy her something that lets her know you're thinking of her. It doesn't have to be extravagant. Just a card. Or a phone call. You already know that any kind of sugar thanks thrown her way will go a long, long way to making her feel appreciated.
For goodness sake, DON'T make mom cook on Mother's Day. Find what's available at hundreds of restaurants across the city and suburbs through Open Table's reservation system.
And, while you're making sure she's not cooking, maybe sign her up for a massage or a manicure. That would be totally great. Trust me. I'm channeling her right now.
The Chicago Botanic Garden hosts the rhododendron sale and their model railroad opens for the summer on Saturday, May 10. Their Mother's Day brunch is sold out.
