Let’s face it: Moms have it rough. They’re the lights that guide during darkness and the shields that protect when they sense harm nearby. And how do we thank them? We forget the dishes in the sink and accidentally drop laundry on the floor. (Ok, only sometimes.) Thankfully, the Ponte Vedra Recorder has your back with the best of the best that Ponte Vedra and the Beaches have to offer to spoil mom and plan for a loving and successful Mother’s Day weekend.
