Now is the time to start looking for something special for dear old ma. Whether it’s perfume or face cream, a book or a show, do whatever you need to show your mom she’s one of a kind.

This year, take your mother for a walk on Mother’s Day - and sit with her. Listen to your mother - and when she’s finished, hand her a gift and remind her how much you love her. In truth, there’s nothing as good as the gift of time.

There’s nothing wrong with a phone call and a nice Sunday brunch on Mother’s Day - but, hello, we’re talking about Mom. Whether she’s "Mother" or "Mommie Dearest," or simply "Ma," indulge her.

TasteofBeirut.com chef Joumana Accad’s shares one of her favorite Lebanese recipes, Rice Pudding with Pistachios and Berries, for upcoming celebrations - such as a weekend in bed, or maybe a little treat for your mother on Mother’s Day (May 8!).
