ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Mother’s Day is quickly approaching.
A day to express your gratitude and honor your mom, your stepmom, your grandmother, and anyone else you have a maternal-like bond with.
It doesn’t matter if you are planning a high tea or arranging an extra hour of sleep for your mom, as long as you celebrate.
If it’s time for some last-minute shopping and planning, then it is almost past time to make a reservation. If planning anything, particularly a meal out, you need to make reservations “immediately, if not sooner” — as my mom used to say.
