You Should Be"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but I was an absolute <em>terror<\/em> as a child. I ran around, put everything under the sun in my mouth, and hit my head incredibly hard on things more times than I can remember (I know\u2026 \u201cThat explains a lot, Genie.\u201d Hardy har, you\u2019re hilarious). My poor mother handled my upbringing like a saint, and I ended up turning out alright, as I\u2019m sure you did too.<\/p>\n<p>We all love our mothers dearly, but let\u2019s face it, every year Mother\u2019s Day tends to sneak up on you when we least expect it. You\u2019re left scrambling around for plans, and you always end up with the \u201cgo to\u201d flowers and brunch ordeal. I\u2019m not knocking your plans by any means (I\u2019m sure your mother loved it\u2026 she\u2019s a nice lady), but wouldn\u2019t it be nicer if you had something special in the bag for her this year?<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few options that your mother is sure to love:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Afternoon Tea<br \/>\n<\/strong>A few years ago, I had the idea to start a new tradition with my mom. I took her out to tea at one of the major hotels in Chicago, and it was genuinely awesome for both of us. There was a harp playing in the background, and to be honest I had never even seen a live harp before in my life. The next year I took her to a different hotel, and we had a similarly great experience. I highly recommend checking out any of the great places that offer it in the city. I\u2019ve been to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedrakehotel.com\/dining\/palm-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Drake<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.palmerhousehiltonhotel.com\/events\/afternoon-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palmer House Hilton<\/a>, and this year we\u2019ll probably either go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.langhamhotels.com\/en\/the-langham\/chicago\/dining\/afternoon-tea-with-wedgwood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Langham<\/a> or the <a href=\"http:\/\/chicago.peninsula.com\/en\/fine-dining\/the-lobby-afternoon-tea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peninsula<\/a>. These aren\u2019t your only options though, so look around for others. I highly recommend trying this out at least once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Mother\u2019s Day Brunch Cruise<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u00a0mentioned the usual brunch, but how about adding a twist to it? Take her out to <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/navy-pier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Navy Pier<\/a> and you can cruise along Lake Michigan on either the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.odysseycruises.com\/chicago\/cruises\/specialty\/mothers-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Odyssey<\/a><\/em> or <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiritcruises.com\/chicago\/cruises\/specialty\/mothers-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spirit of Chicago<\/a><\/em>. I\u2019m willing to bet you $5 that your mother dearest will absolutely love her view of skyline as she sips mimosas in a state of pure bliss. Want to avoid brunch altogether? Take her on a dinner buffet cruise instead. There are three different cruise times for each ship, and if you get on it soon enough, you can save 20%.<\/p>\n<p>You can even get there early or stay late and check out what Navy Pier has to offer. Even though I live within a mile or two of the pier, I can\u2019t remember the last time I visited, and I doubt your mother does either. Yeah it\u2019s touristy, but it\u2019s also a lot of fun to check out the shops, attractions, and even ride the Ferris wheel. The key to a great Mother\u2019s Day is thinking outside the box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take Her to a Spa<br \/>\n<\/strong>Is your mom in need of a relaxing spa day? Well you can finish up that afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel and take her directly over to their spa where they\u2019re offering <a href=\"http:\/\/chicago.peninsula.com\/en\/special-offers\/gift-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great deals<\/a> for the holiday. You can even get yourself a nice massage at the same time (Remember when I said planning ahead was the way to go? This is why).<\/p>\n<p><strong>See a Show<br \/>\n<\/strong>Another option is to see a live performance. There\u2019s an incredible selection of plays going around Mother\u2019s Day in May, so if you can\u2019t get to one on the exact day, don\u2019t worry about it. One that we would recommend: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatreinchicago.com\/im-not-my-mother-a-side-by-side-cabaret\/7698\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I\u2019m NOT My Mother!! A Side by Side Cabaret<\/a><\/em>, a musical that showcases the experiences of growing up and growing old with your mom. If that doesn\u2019t work for you, there are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatreinchicago.com\/searchresults.php?txtDate=2015-05-10&amp;go.x=23&amp;go.y=12&amp;txtTitle=&amp;txtGenre=&amp;txtArea=&amp;txtDateF=null&amp;txtDateT=null&amp;QFdate=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dozens of other shows<\/a> to pick from too.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said previously, the key is to think outside the box and do something sincere. If you choose one of these options, great. If you don\u2019t, go with something original and put some thought into it. Your mom will love it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but I was an absolute terror as a child.
