Hey Toronto… reminder: Mother’s Day is coming up! If you’ve hit the same eggs benny brunch spot three years in a row or panic-bought flowers on the way to your mom’s house, this is your sign to try something new.
This year, treat your mom (or grandma, auntie, stepmom, or fave maternal figure) to something super special: a workshop you can do together. We’re talkin’ painting, candles, pasta, cocktails, the whole experience. Toronto’s got some amazing classes going down that weekend, and we rounded up the best ones so you can be the golden child and have a blast.
