MOTHER'S DAY in the TIME OF CORONAVIRUS

Mother’s Day is going to be a little different this year.
The holiday is usually celebrated with family outings to brunch or family get-together for dinner at home —and accompanied by plenty of in-person hugs and kisses. But as the coronavirus pandemic restricts where we can go, and makes social distancing a new norm, many of these traditions will have to be postponed to another year.

Since taking mom out for brunch or dinner is not likely to happen this Mother’s Day, consider purchasing a gift certificate from her favorite small business food store and help support local businesses near her.  

Perhaps you can support her hobbies or help her develop new ones...crafting, painting, cooking or reading - think about what she likes to do and go from there.




It's spring!  Could your mother use help laying down mulch? Or mowing the lawn?  Give her a gift certificate with your family yard and garden services.



Mother’s Day this year won’t look like it usually does, but the feelings can be just as strong. The coronavirus pandemic has forced us all to readjust and rethink how we usually do things. Let's make this an opportunity for all of us to get creative.


Remember that mothers will appreciate every gesture of love.
