Mother's Day is going to feel quite different this year as we continue to fight the spread of coronavirus.
With business and restaurants operating at a limited capacity, it would seem difficult to treat mom to her favorite meal with the entire family or purchase any last minute gifts, but don't fret -- we have some great backup plans.
Below is a list of things you can do to put a smile on mom's face year:
