Show mom some love for Mother's Day on Sunday, May 10, with a Sun Valley Lodge getaway, a one-of-a-kind creation from Petals and Stems in Hailey or brunch to support a cause.

Give mom the night off and take advantage of the Mother's Day Special at the Sun Valley Resort with a night at the Sun Valley Lodge on Saturday, May 9, and Sunday brunch at the Lodge Dining Room as well as a one-hour massage for one, for $190 per couple.

The Sun Valley Lodge Dining Room Mother's Day Sunday brunch will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with live music featuring Leana Leach. Brunch is $32 for adults and $13 for children and reservations are not required. For details, call (800) 786-8259.

Petals and Stems is offering make and take bouquets for Mother's Day on Friday, May 8, at 3 p.m. and Saturday, May 9, at 10 a.m. Coffee and donuts will be provided to participants who bring in vases or containers to create floral arrangements with fresh spring flowers. Petals and Stems will finish the bouquet in decorative wrapping. For details, call 788-4199.

The local Esperanza Chapter will hold a Mother's Day brunch after the 10:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, May 10, at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Sun Valley. Proceeds from the brunch will help a group of students build houses in a low-income community this summer in Mena, Arkansas, which was devastated by a tornado on April 9, 2009.

A non-profit, non-sectarian, charitable corporation, Esperanza International works in partnership with communities in the Tijuana region of Mexico, but has called off the Tijuana trip due to the drug trade related violence and presence of the swine flu. 

Mother's Day Brunch will be prepared by Chef Felix Gonzalez with scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, muffins and juice. Mimosas will be available for a small fee. For details, call 622-3432.
