Ray's Killer Creek is charging $29.95 for adults and $14.95 for kids to attend their Mothers Day buffet.

in Crabapple is hosting a Mother's Day brunch for $29.50 per person. 

 is giving all moms half off of their meals on Sunday.

If dinner is more your style, most restaurants will offer dinner menu's beginning at 5 p.m.

Attending these brunches tends to get pricey for families on a budget and is often more work for a mom than they are worth if she has small children. Mom would be equally as happy if she were to be served a nice brunch at home. Head over to and get a variety of breads, desserts from their bakery and pick up some basics that she loves. Fixing her a made to order omelet, french toast or pancakes is sure to please her, especially if she does not have to clean up the dishes afterwards. 

If you are planning on attending church on Sunday, make Mom feel special by giving her a corsage to wear. This will make her feel beautiful and special. Call ahead to ask a local  florist to make one up for you or you are not wasting gas and time running around town to get one. Remember that also has a florist department and they too can make these up for you.
