Ocean Meadow would like to wish all the Moms out there a very Happy Mother’s Day!

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 10^th, and we can’t think of a more relaxing way to celebrate than by taking Mom for a lovely brunch in Newburyport! Many of the restaurants in town are hosting a Mother’s Day brunch, including Joseph’s Winter Street Café, Ten Center Street, The Grog and Michael’s Harborside. The best part about going out for brunch is that Mom doesn’t have to do any of the cooking!!!

And while you are in the area, be sure to visit me at the Model Home for “Champagne & Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries”, and receive a  Mother’s Day gift!   I look forward to seeing you. 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Maureen Caponigro
