A few ideas to kickstart the inspiration:

• Bath soak from Dots & Baubles
• Floral arrangements from Wandering Bee or Forget Me Not Flowers
• Handmade earrings from Adorn by Pree
• Locally-made ceramics and greeting cards from Magpie’s Collected Creations
• A thoughtful gift with custom engraving from Guindon’s Creations (think jewelry boxes, meaningful keepsakes)
• Beeswax candles from Havaris Produce
• Local ingredients to put together a beautiful meal you can share together
• Market gift certificates (if you want to give her the gift of choice)!

We’ll have two Mother’s Day Workshops happening in the kids’ craft area upstairs on the mezzanine on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10 from 11am-3pm!

Colour in floral keychains, decorate a 3D wooden flower, or stamp fingerprints to make little flowers. Make Mother’s Day feel extra special by customizing a handmade keepsake that she can cherish for years to come!

Kids 1st Day started after a report was released that focused on London’s problems facing children and families including poverty. The idea was to highlight the many wonderful organizations and unique attractions in London that can help children thrive.

Investing in Children takes the lead in arranging a day where more than 50 businesses and organizations across the city offer free or low-cost activities to children and families. The day is always chosen to be held on an elementary school PA Day shared by the London boards. This event reminds the community of what a great place London is for families and gives children the opportunity to try new things and visit new places!

Stay tuned for programming details, but be sure to save the date in the meantime!
