Mom About Town: Calgary Edition

Read our Calgary-centric itinerary for a full day (or two) dedicated to your amazing momma.

get away: Got a weekend? Take mom for a girls’ getaway at Azuridge, Canada’s first estate hotel situated just outside city limits in Priddis. Feel instantly relaxed as you settle into your suite, stroll the gorgeous grounds, grab a drink at the bar and enjoy an amazing dinner at Opal courtesy of new executive chef Yoshi Chubach.

get gorgeous: Back in the city, head to Sante Spa for side-by-side facials ($250) or mani-pedis. Keep ma’s glow going with a Mom-Tail Bundle from Skoah ($75), featuring a limited-edition Tub-Tail Bubbly Bath that smells like piña colada (i.e., good enough to drink!), a super-moisturizing Petal Power Body Oil and a $50 gift card. 230-508 24th Ave. S.W., Calgary, 403-228-2772, http://calgary.santespa.com 

get crafty: Keep the mother-daughter bonding going all week with DIY classes at Willow & Whimsy Floral Boutique. Buy one, three or five workshops for you and mom in floral design, crocheting, jewelry making and more (we hear there are bevvies served at each creative session). $45 a class, Sunday, May 18th. Willow & Whimsy, 8-606 Meredith Rd. N.E., Calgary, 403-475-3313, www.willowandwhimsy.com
