Make the day special for Mom - Rhumb Line Resort, Kennebunkport Maine

Our moms do so much for us every day, so it’s only fitting we celebrate them any day (and every day)! Celebrate Mom this May, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14. Here are some ideas and ways to honor the Mom in your life:

• The new is hosting make-your-own workshops with Mom all weekend, both May 13 and 14, as well as throughout the month. Check out the offerings here.

• Bring Mom to Sea Love Candles in Dock Square and make your own candles together.

• Give Mom the day off and treat her to brunch. Here is a list of local brunches offered Sunday, May 14.
