Happy Friday, friends! Mother's Day weekend has arrived, bringing with it a beautiful array of opportunities to honor the remarkable women who shape our little ones' worlds. Whether you're a mom looking forward to being celebrated, a partner helping small hands create something special, or planning for a grandmother, aunt, caregiver or mentor who deserves recognition, we've rounded up the perfect mix of activities. From theatrical adventures and outdoor movies to specialized Mother's Day workshops sprinkled across every neighborhood, this weekend offers meaningful ways to connect. Here's to the mamas who kiss scraped knees, find lost toys, advocate fiercely, and still somehow manage to remember library book return dates (most of the time).
