Mother's Day ideas to help prepare for the holiday

Above birthdays and all the other gift-giving holidays, Mother's Day is the time of year to showcase how grateful you are for your mother's presence in your life. Whether you do it by giving her chocolates (check out Champagne Chocolates in Mount Clemens when you have the chance), buying her flowers (Viviano Flower Shop, anyone?), or even going out for a lovely dinner, it's important to plan her special day accordingly.

For dining options, don't miss out on The Pink House Tea Room & Cocktails in New Baltimore for a demure and antique-like ambience to go with your refreshments. Or maybe, visit Andiamo Warren for dinner and a show.

If your mother is more of a coupon clipper and shopper, perhaps you could take her to Mother's Day at Riverside Vintage Market, where its 20% off select Mother's Day Gifts, including seasonal drinks and more. Or - don't miss out on the Made in Michigan Artisan and Vendor Show in downtown Mount Clemens.

Looking for a more relaxed, sit-down experience? Mother's Day Brunch at Blake's Orchard and Cider Mill is sure to be a treat for everyone!

Whatever you end up doing, we hope your mother enjoys her special day with her special people.

Happy Mother's Day, Macomb County!
