Mother’s Day is a popular day to treat mom to a nice brunch or dinner out. But let’s face it, sometimes we’re looking for something a little more meaningful than another overpriced meal while battling the crowds or wrangling your children around a table.
You may be reading this to get ideas on something special to do with your mom, or maybe you are a mom yourself looking for things you want to do so you can start dropping the hints to your family now. No matter what you or your mom enjoy, Toledo has something for everyone.
