Family Activities Guide Chicago and Suburbs May 3 - 9Monday, May 3, 2010 10:09 AM

This Sunday, moms get to celebrate the hardest job in the world...being a mom. What do you have planned for this special day? My six-year old said "Mom, I made you something really beautiful forMother's Day. And I think you should get to choose whatever you want to do that day..... Could you choose to go golfing, at that place we just went to? Please? Please!! PLEASE!!!!" Hmmm...somehow, the idea of "mom's choice" got lost along the way ....

We've gathered and listed some Mother's Day events throughout the week, not just on Sunday, so click through the calendar to find them. You'll find a link to the golfing place that my daughter is so enamored with in the Newbies area toward the bottom of this email. You'll also find links to our popular online Kidwinks Guides down there too. Check our guides and frequently - we're always adding to them too!

To write a review, login to kidwinks (if you're not a member yet, click here to sign up - it's free!) then find the business or event you want to review. You can use the calendar, search box, or the categories along the left to find places to review. Then just click on the Review It tab at the top.
