Holiday: Mother's Day

If flowers seem too frivolous and the idea of cooking for her seems, well, sadistic, there are a lot of other options for you and your mom this Mother's Day. Southern K Ranch is holding a rodeo with a special Mother's Day tribute, or you could adopt a mother-to-be sea turtle for Mom through Caribbean Conservation Corporation. For a more traditional route, see Mother's Day brunch options. Rodeo: Free-$12. 7:30 p.m. 3203 Demooney Road. 770-964-3601. www.southernkranch.com. Sea turtles: $50. 800-678-7853. www.cccturtle.org.
