Want to make mom feel extra special this Mother's Day? 

Here are seven ways to make mom feel special in Greater Derry this Mother's Day:  

1. Make a card

A special homemade card is something she'll cherish forever. Just ask any mom you know if you need proof!

2. Craft an 'I love you'

Special gifts don't have to be expensive, just given out of love. Try this Recycled Magazine Butterflies craft!
