Patch Picks: Mother's Day

From day spa getaways to breakfast in bed to the standard flowers, Patch has you covered for ideas to celebrate Mother's Day.

Motherhood is a demanding job, consuming 168 hours a week for 18 years, with only one vacation day per year. Whether the mom in your life is your own mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, take some time out on Sunday to honor all she does for you.


Think out of the box and dump the flowers and chocolates in favor of waking Mom up with breakfast in bed—but first stop by Great Harvest Bread Company. They have low-carbohydrate and fat-free loaves and plenty of other fresh-baked goods. Their Mother’s Day specials include white chocolate cherry swirl bread, chocolate brownie hearts, and chocolate bliss cookies!
