Mother’s Day is just around the corner…as in just a few days away! I’m sure you are well prepared with flowers, cards, or reservations somewhere, but we’re here in case you need some help.
Check out the Richmondmom.com calendar for exciting events all over the city, and treat mom to a full weekend of fun with these Richmond events happening just for her.
This entire month at All Fired Up, create a masterpiece Mom is sure to cherish with a “Mommies Sweeties” Keepsake Plate.
Get Mother’s Day weekend started on Thursday:
Celebrate Mom and make a craft at special library story times at Westover Hills Library and the Main Library.
Dads, set aside time to prepare that special gift for Mom with the Dad’s Night Event for Mother’s Day at Romp n’ Roll.
On Friday, enjoy a Mother’s Day craft at Main Library. Or treat Mom to a special evening at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts with Friday Art and Wine or Friday Family Art Night.
Looking for ways to make Saturday special? Treat Mom to some of Mrs. Yoder’s donuts at the South of the James Farmer’s Market (they are so delicious!) or take her on a lovely stroll through the Lewis Botanical Gardens to see A Million Blooms and get up close with a butterfly with Butterflies Live! Lewis Ginter will have special events going on throughout the garden on Saturday and Sunday.
