Metro Detroit Mother's Day Brunch Guide

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) "A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."  Those are the wise words of Sophia Loren.

All of our lives, mom has taken time out to take care of us, with countless amounts of lunches made for school the next day and kissing endless scrapes and bruises to give us the illusion that everything will always be OK.

Mother's Day is all about honoring mom; the opportunity for us to give back to the woman of our lives. But what does she want? Most mommas just wants us to take her out for a nice meal and spend time with the family.
