Carlsbad’s Guide to Mother’s Day

There is no limit to a mother’s love. Sometimes that love is easy to take for granted and other times it is the thing that matters most in the world. The mother figures in our lives take many shapes and forms and are some of the first people that we learn about life from. As a source of nurture and comfort, mothers are a support system that give us the tools we need to tackle everything that life has to offer. With Mother’s Day only a month away, it is important to take a moment to reflect on the women that raised us and find a way to show them how much we appreciate them. If you’re starting to plan how you want to spoil your mom next month, here is a list of ideas to help you plan for Mother’s Day in Carlsbad this year.

Carlsbad Flower Fields

The Carlsbad Flower Fields are only open for three months of the year. What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to visit the Flower Fields on the last day of the season? The blooms will be bidding Carlsbad farewell and the Fields will be hosting a variety of live music performances throughout the day to say goodbye to the 2019 season. The Rancho Buena Vista High School’s Ballet Folklorico will be putting on a special performance in celebration of Mother’s Day. Take advantage of the celebration and bring your mom to the Flower Fields before they’re closed for the year.

Mother’s Day Yoga Flow at Cape Rey

Treating your mom on Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be indulgent and unhealthy. Instead, Mother’s Day can start with self-care and relaxation at Cape Rey’s Mother’s Day Yoga Flow. The resort will be featuring a class created especially for moms and lead by professional yoga instructor Tammara Collins. The one-hour restorative class will allow the favorite woman in your life a chance to unwind and disconnect from the stresses of everyday life. Mothers and children can bond by creating memories through savasana and fresh ocean air.

Brunch or Dinner at Chandlers

After yoga, Chandler’s is right around the corner for a brunch that will ward off any hunger pains created by a physical and mental workout. Brunch is served from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. and Chef Terri will be creating classic brunch favorites such as chicken apple sausage and heirloom breakfast potatoes. Exquisite starters like petite lobster and shrimp tartlet, as well as prime pepper crusted New York Strip entrees will make this brunch a meal to remember. Each meal comes with a complimentary glass of champagne.

Chandler’s will also be serving a Prix Fixe Dinner for families. The meal comes complete with dishes for all ages. From Chandler’s famous clam chowder and prime ribeye to flatbreads, Mother’s Day Dinner at Chandler’s is a place to make memories.
