5 Calgary Moms and Their Kids Model Brunch Style

What to wear for a special springtime brunch or lunch. Plus, local gifts to give to your mom to thank her for being amazing

 

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mothering. Any difference that you can think of – whether in ethnicity, spirituality, ability or sexuality – is embodied by moms in this city, and we are all the richer for that diversity. Beyond simple greeting-card platitudes, Mothers’ Day is a day of empowerment; a tribute to mothering in all its ways, shapes and forms. For our own Mothers’ Day celebration we present five Calgary moms and their kids modelling breezy fashions ideal for a special brunch or lunch or other springtime outing, along with a variety of gifts, all locally available and all perfect for saying “thank you for being amazing.”
