Mother's Day is always on the second Sunday in May. In 2009, that date is May 10, 2009. Whether your mother is just down the street, or thousands of miles away, don't miss this opportunity to let her know how much you appreciate everything she's done for you. In the Phoenix area, there are plenty of ways that you can let your mother know that she is special. With the ideas outlined for you here, it shouldn't take much planning, or even a lot of effort.

If your mother is like my mother, a gift of chocolate is always welcome! Here are ten places in the Phoenix area where you can satisfy your Mom's chocolate craving with a special Mother's Day gift.

Special Events With Mom

Get Mom out of the house for Mother's Day! There are still plenty of things to do in May before it gets very hot.

There are many special summer rates for packages at our resorts--for couples, mothers and daughters, and families.
