While we do love brunch, it's a titch over played as a mother's day thing to do. Here is our list of some mother's day experiences that are just a bit wilder than eggs benny and every bit as as flavourful as fresh squeezed O.J.

Horseshoe Tavern

368 Queen St W, Toronto, ON, M5V2A2

Mother's Day: Beyond Brunch- Live Music Show: Get a babysitter or leave your partner at home with the kids and head out to the Horseshoe with some friends to catch kick-ass girls group and critic's darlings, Vivian Girls at the Horseshoe for some music therapy. You will feel so. good. Because they are awesome. Make sure you thrash around and toss your hair a reasonable amount for full restorative effect.

Black Line Studio

577 King Street West, Toronto, ON, M5V1M1

Mother's Day: Beyond Brunch - Get Inked: Celebrate motherhood with some new ink or insist that your husband show his appreciation by getting a tattoo tribute to you. We have been running a series called Parent Tattoos on our blog (www.bunchfamily.ca) that you can check out for inspiration. We recommend Black Line studio for a very plush tat experience. Their tag line is actually "so swank, your mom might come, too."

Bunch Family Dance Party: Glam Rock Pre-Mother's Day Edition

Celebrate Mother's Day on the dance floor: Many Bunch moms have pointed out that Mother's Day winds up being a lot of running around to spend time with their mom and with their partner's mom. We thought it was important that there be an M-Day option where Bunch moms could let their hair down and party with their partners and their friends and their kids. So every year, on the day before Mother’s Day, we host a legendary momma-appreciation party. We're excited about this year's Glam Rock theme and about our venue, the ultra glam Courthouse. Glam Goings On: *Yahoo! Canada will pay tribute to Gwen Stefani, Madonna and all the moms that rock. *You will make fierce wearable art with Avenue Road Arts School. *MC Abdominal and your kids will perform a rap ode to mommas. *Kid breakers from the TVO show Pop It! will perform and teach. *Tynan Studio will shoot your family’s portrait in the Yahoo! Canada Photo Lounge *Sweetmama.ca will treat kids to Bowie-inspired face painting. *Kids will dress up as the Gods of Rock. *DJ Fase will go crazy on the ones and twos, and there will be dancing, a whole bunch of dancing.

Mother's Day Beyond Brunch: Spa with Friends: My friends are totally obsessed with Body Blitz and have regular girls nights where they go and hang out in the different pools and drink juice. I totally didn't get it until I went. And now I am converted. I think a mother's day soak in the: ~ warm sea salt pool ~ hot green tea pool ~ cold plunging pool ~ aromatherapy steam room ~ infrared sauna ~ showersfor a good 2-3 hours with friends combined with some chocolate, tea or juice would be pretty darn perfect.
