Let's Shop | Mother's Day — Alexandra Hedin | Family Friendly Recipes & Cocktails

It’s almost Mother’s Day! Is Mother’s Day something you get excited about? Care about? Hate? It’s such a fraught holiday. Some people have lost a mother, some people want to be a mother and aren’t, some people have a strained relationship with their mother. And then there’s a group of us who just don’t care.

I’m a mother all the time. I don’t do it because one day a year I might get breakfast in bed. But I do use it as an excuse to buy myself something. Are you looking to buy yourself something this May? Mother’s Day is a great excuse - if you aren’t a mother, we all had a mother - buy something in honor of that.

I personally go to Palm Springs with my best girlfriend and her husband every Mother’s Day. If Mother’s Day is hard for you, I highly recommend jetting out of town for the event. ESPECIALLY somewhere like Palm Springs. We have been out to brunch at a grown up hotel the last few years and it has been delightful.
