MAMA MIA!

Written by:

YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD the saying “Behind every great man is a great woman.” I’m certainly not going to disagree with the sentiment, but I think it requires deeper reflection. Those “great women” didn’t get there on their own. Those women have great mothers standing behind them. Mothers encourage us to face each day with courage to attain our goals and offer compassion to others.

Our mothers are responsible for shaping who we become and influencing the choices we make throughout our lives. That’s why, come the second Sunday in May, we stop to recognize our mothers with a gesture of gratitude: a gift, a nice meal, the chance to sleep in or take a shower without little eyes peeking around the curtain.

Sophisticated Woman is recognizing mothers, too, by putting them at the forefront of this month’s issue. All the amazing seasons of motherhood have been beautifully captured in our fashion picks. We’ve shown you easy ways to include your kids in meal preparation in our Foodies and Friends feature. You’ll get a glimpse of a mother’s stunning home, designed especially with her family in mind. And if you need gift ideas for mom, take a look at the Mother’s Day Gift Guide or the Northshore’s Salons and Spas section for inspiration.

This month, we also recognize Reba Weymouth, owner of Timeless Rx, who our readers chose as the Enterprising Woman of 2016. The award was given at our annual Hats Off Luncheon, held on April 7 at the Greystone Events Venue in Mandeville. You’ll find pictures of the event— including all the fantastic hats!—in the pages that follow. And so to all the moms, Happy Mother’s Day. We hope you enjoy the issue.
