Mother's Day is this next Sunday (May 8th, 2011), so I want to take this time to mention my own mom, Ruth Mundt, and to publicly thank her for all she's meant to me throughout my life, done for me above and beyond, and continues to so lovingly offer and be to this day. She's loved beyond measure.
The Mundt family is gathering together to celebrate our Mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother this coming Sunday. Have you made your plans yet?
There are many opportunities all over Chicagoland for families to celebrate the mothers in their lives in a wide variety of ways. I'm including some information below on a few of the many celebrations I found while searching for Mother's Day ideas online. There is truly something for every personality, pocketbook, and taste.
My best to all the moms and special ladies out there ... and the families that celebrate them!
