about a Beautiful Transitions, Emphoria, Showin' Love and more, along with a promise to watch the children while she goes to get pampered, along with an extra hour or two to meet friends at The Wine Café or one of our coffee shops.
Another fun idea is the Downtown Alliance Mother's Day Carriage May 12, during Mother's Day weekend, a horse- drawn carriage will be more than happy to take moms and their children

Here are a few ideas (and by no means is this a complete list!):
dinner spot at Circa 1800 at 108 Person St., Pierro's at 217 Hay St., Blue Moon Café at 310 Hay St. or maybe even brunch at Horne's Café at 124 Hay St.
Jewelry, Kindred Hearts, Twisted Jeweler, Moonstone Jewelry or an antique piece at Diane's Vintage Market, Turner Lane, The Livery, Shops at 214 Hay Street or the Cotton Exchange.
perfect new piece of pottery for her collection at Peacock's Eye Polish Pottery and Gifts at 218 Hay St.
on a 20-minute ride over the brick-paved streets of the historic district. Rides start at 1 p.m. and continue every 20 minutes until 8 p.m., departing from the Downtown purchase your tickets before May 12, go by City Center charge it by phone.
