Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and Muncie is rolling out the red carpet (or a cozy picnic blanket?) for the queens of our hearts—moms! However she likes to spend her time, we’ve got the perfect plans to make her day as special as she is. Maybe it’s catching up over pancakes and mimosas. Maybe it’s browsing cute shops, getting outside, or finally having a moment to relax. No matter what you choose, the best part is simply being together.
