I had a big intro prepared for this already about not fretting if you saw “Mother’s Day” in the subject line and it stressed you out. I was gonna tell you not to worry, that Mother’s Day is still a couple of weeks away, and we’re just here to help you get organised — if you feel so inclined…
But I lost it, and now I’ve changed my mind. Lock in your plans now! Mum will be stoked, you’ll look like a legend, and you can cruise through the next couple of weeks knowing you won’t be left looking like the useless child you are the rest of the year once May 10 rolls around 🤝
Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!
EAT & DRINK
Get organised early with our Perth Mother's Day guide
If you’re looking for a great way to make sure mum (or the mum-adjacent person in your life) knows she is appreciated this Mother’s Day, we’ve got you covered with a variety of offerings that are sure to tick all the boxes.
And yes we’re getting in early, but as any good organised kids will know a lot of these things tend to book out well in advance — you have been warned!
