Want to make mom feel extra special this Mother's Day? 

Here are seven ways to make mom feel special in Weddington, Waxhaw and Indian Trail this Mother's Day:  

1. Make a card

A special homemade card is something she'll cherish forever. Just ask any mom you know if you need proof!

2. Craft an 'I love you'

Special gifts don't have to be expensive, just given out of love. Try this Recycled Magazine Butterflies craft!

5. Spend the day together

Get out and enjoy spring in downtown Waxhaw or check out Monroe! Pack a picnic lunch, grab your bike and head to any of these spots or on a short trip uptown and walk the greenways or go muralling. We happen to love Camp North End for some fun pics and great eats! Maybe a waterfall is more mom's speed? Check out this guide

6. Treat mom to dinner

Make a family dinner at home — grilled pizza is a fun one for kids to help with. Don't forget dessert! Try this Salted Caramel Skillet Brownie.
