It's nearly time to celebrate the motherly figure in your life, and Austin is well known for its constant holiday and themed programming. Small businesses thrive on locals who want to give their mother an handmade token of appreciation on May 12, and local restaurants love to see the faces of smiling mothers during a brunch or dinner.
