Mother's Day alert: Make reservations now for Mom's brunch this Sunday ― so you don't have to climb stairs with a heavy serving tray and risk spilling coffee and eggs all over the carpet for breakfast in bed, which really isn't all that, to be honest. There's nowhere for people to sit except the bed, surely toppling everything over in the process. Then you have to get up anyway and do laundry when it's all over.
Nope, it's much easier to just check this list for an option, make a reservation, and send someone to pick up a fist full of flowers while you're at it. If the kids are young enough, dandelions should suffice, but if everyone is working, check with your nearest florist. Then, it's probably just best if you hand her the TV remote and leave her alone for the rest of the day.
