We hope we're not the telling you something you don't already know, but Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 14. Your mom does so much for you, so why not treat her to a day or a night out on the town? Whether she craves beignets or loves bubbly beverages, we have just the thing for you to do on her special day. Can't think of what to give her? Check out our gift guide for food loving moms here.
If she wants to be in Paris
Who wouldn't love brunch at a Parisian cafe? If you can't quite swing a trip to France this year, head to Inman Park's Bread & Butterfly. From impossibly fluffy pancakes to the ideal omelet, this little cafe is inspiring love all over Atlanta. For everything Mom does, make sure she sips on a perfectly crafted cocktail, like the French 75. www.bread-and-butterfly.com, 290 Elizabeth St. N.E., Atlanta.

If what she wants is flowers
How about 220 acres of flowers? That's what she'll find at Mother's Day at the Gardens at Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground. The dining will not be quite as elegant as some of our other suggestions, you'll need to pre-order a gourmet boxed brunch. The brunch prices are very reasonable too. Strolling musicians will serenade while you and mom enjoy a beautiful day in a beautiful place. www.gibbsgardens.com, 1987 Gibbs Dr., Ball Ground.
