Thanks, Mom
Compiled by Meda Kessler
Even when she says she doesn’t want anything, give her something. And include a card and a big hug.
THE PAMPERED MOM
Give Mom some time on her own with a one- or two-night staycation at a luxury hotel such as the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. She’ll be pampered as soon as she pulls into the driveway of the storied Dallas hotel. Send flowers ahead of time and arrange for room service, too.
