Contest: Look Like Mom? Win Brunch for Her

Viewfinder: Moms are Treated to a High Tea in Chesterfield

Daughters and one son took their mothers to tea celebrate Mother's Day.

Patch Picks: Treat Mom With Brunch in Chesterfield

Restaurants are gearing up for celebrations honoring the special women in our lives.

We have celebrated Mother's Day in America since Woodrow Wilson signed it into national observance in 1914, but the tradition of honoring mothers—at least the deities who represented them—dates back to ancient civilizations. For us, it's simply a day to thank and pamper our moms. On Sunday, we'll serve moms breakfast in bed and bring them their first cup of coffee of the morning. Moms will receive flowers and plants, cards and jewelry, and we'll treat them to a meal in a nice restaurant. Chesterfield Patch has prepared a list of great places to take Mom to brunch or dinner.
