Realistically, we should be appreciating our mothers year-round. If anything, Mother's Day should simply be an extra special reminder to thank your mom every day, instead of waiting around for that one Sunday in May to say it.
But a thank you is 10 times sweeter when it's shared over fluffy pancakes and a latte - which is exactly why you should take your mother out for brunch. Not only are these brunch spots in Columbus delicious, but they are situated in areas and locations with plenty of other activities to do with your mom. What she really wants this year is simply your time, so start your day with brunch and we'll leave the rest up to you.
Lindey's
