A Sweet Treat
If your mom has a sweet tooth consider getting her some chocolates from Daffin’s Candies, a fun and fruity gift from Edible Arrangements, or the original smiley cookie from Warner’s Bakery. Stop in to Poppin’ Sweet Shop for gourmet popcorn and hard to find, retro inspired candy.
Specialty Ingredients
There is nothing like momma’s home cooking! Pick out a selection of fun new ingredients at The Olive Vault on Liberty Street in Franklin. The Olive Vault features a wide variety of olive oils and vinegars but they also have soup and bread mixes, gift items, and much much more. Fruity balsamics such as Watermelon Rosé and Peach are great additions to summer salads and cocktails.
A Drink(s)
Being a mom is hard work and sometimes you need a break! Treat mom to a beverage of her choice at Trails to Ales Brewery, Grumpy Goat Distillery, Vino and Vibes, or The Liberty Street Ale House. They are all located on Liberty Street in Franklin.
A Night Away
If momma needs a bigger break than a drink, consider booking her a staycation at Peddlers and Paddlers Inn, a bed and breakfast on Elk Street. This historic home was built in 1867 and is now a breathtaking, Victorian retreat in the heart of downtown.
A Great Meal
Give mom the day off from cooking and take her out to one of Franklin’s many great restaurants. The ever changing selection of featured dishes at Bella Cucina cannot be beat! Or stop in to Leonardo’s Restaurant and Pizzeria for dishes featuring homemade bread and pizza crust.
A Great Read

Happy Mother’s Day!
Whatever gift you choose, make sure you call your mom or go see her! Moms give us so much that we should be thanking them and lavishing them with gifts every day.
