Typically on Mother’s day, restaurants are overcrowded with friends and families honoring the special women in their lives. But if you’re looking for a unique way to spend time with mom while also bringing out her fun side, here are some ideas to consider:
Wine and Paint Classes
Wine and Design has art studios located in CA, NC, NY, SC and VA. Whether you’re looking to host your own private party, attend a wine and painting party or a “Paint It Forward” party, where the company donates 25% of their proceeds to a local organization, a painting party is a fun and exciting way to enjoy a day out with mom, while meeting new people.
