Mother’s Day weekend starts on a fashionable note at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Fashion 2015 and ends with an Evanston house walk that has been around for 40 years.
In between, you can enjoy a beer festival on the grass at Soldier Field, stop by the opening of Chicago Botanic Garden’s Model Railroad Garden and fight breast cancer with Susan G. Komen.
And from everyone at Make It Better, we hope you have a great Mother’s Day!
