As a new mom, I am starting to really understand the importance of Mother's Day. You'll never really understand until you become a parent yourself. From the very first few weeks of pregnancy and even through adulthood, you worry about your child, give up for your child and even feel physical pain for your child. It's simply a time to give back and say "thank you" for those 18 hours of labor, 18 years of no sleep, 18 diaper changes a day and $18,000 a year you spent on various things to make me happy. You rock, mom!

I found a couple of fun things to do here in Evansville with your mom. And, yes... spend the extra dough - she's worth it!

Want to do something with mom after (or before) eating? Enjoy brunch and 9 or 18 holes with mom on Mother's Day. Chef Carved Prime Rib, Chicken Breast Supreme, Deep Fried Shrimp, Breakfast Bar, Full Salad Bar & Dessert Table All you can eat buffet: Adults $18.95 Children 10 and under $8.95

At almost $33 a person, this breakfast buffet is pretty upscale for Evansville but it's totally worth every single penny when you see what's on their menu. Mother's Day Champagne Brunch - Enjoy Seasonal Fruit, Chilled Seafood, Eggs Mornay, Crab Stuffed Sole, Chicken Roulade, Carved Pepper & Garlic Crusted Prime Rib & Honey Smoked Ham, Spring Vegetable Medley, Loaded Potatoes, Cheese Blintzes, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Sausage Links, Brioche French Toast, Made-To-Order Omelets & Eggs, Assorted Cheeses, an array of desserts and more!

It's definitely worth the drive to experience this food! With various breakfast items like biscuits and gravy, bacon and sausage along with seafood, poultry, beef and pork main dishes, soups and even and fruit and cheese display on the Mother's Day Brunch buffet, you won't be disappointed!
