Let's make this Mother's Day extra-special at the Jersey Shore because it has been, well, let's say... a challenging year for moms.
So on May 9, let's celebrate the Ocean and Monmouth County moms and mom-figures in our lives by letting them know how much we appreciate everything they do for us the other 364 days of the year.
Here are restaurant and gift ideas to spoil her, ways to spend the day, even a few craft ideas children can do to show their love PLUS a giveaway for Mom from three great local businesses!
