Kelowna Mother’s Day Guide 2023
***Please note: I have an updated 2024 version that is recommended to view here.
Mother’s Day is fast approaching on Sunday, May 14th! Do you need ideas on what to do for that special mom figure in your life? Well, lucky for you I have put together a Kelowna Mother’s Day Guide for 2023.
Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the mother figures in our lives. I love treating my Mom as I live in a family of boys and she is the only other female in my immediate family. Plus, she is always helping me with my business – if you follow along on stories, you’ll see she takes a lot of my photos and attends many events with me.
My mom always requests to go on a hike with us for Mother’s Day so we normally pick between one of the hikes featured here. We then go out to eat somewhere, typically brunch, and then I love to spoil her with flowers. She loves lilacs and they’re everywhere around Kelowna so we sometimes just pick those!
