As a mother of two -- soon to be three -- Mother's Day is the one holiday near and dear to my heart. And there is quite the dilemma on how to spend this holiday. Do you enjoy spending Mother's Day with your family or do you prefer your Mother's Day to be spent as a break away from your family? I'm very interested to hear the comments as my answer varies depending on the time of day.

In any event, Charlotte is a wonderful city for families and that includes providing many options for Mother's Day celebrations. Here is a list of ways to spend Mother's Day in Charlotte, including some favorite places to dine, relax and just plain enjoy the one day of the year dedicated to moms everywhere.
