For another fun and creative activity, head over to Morristown, N.J., and visit Glassworks.
Walk in during public hours or arrange a private Moms’ Night Out or Family Night and start designing your very own fused glass project. After receiving some basic working instructions, the time is quiet and therapeutic, according to the website.
On Tuesday, May 8, Glassworks will be running a workshop on how to create fused-glass pocket vases to hang on the wall and fill with flowers.
There is a $25 instructor fee and $15 materials fee. Registration is required.
In addition, Glassworks offers many projects that would make wonderful Mother’s Day gifts, including picture frames, jewelry, and candy dishes. Items take at least two or three days to be ready (with no timing guarantees), so if you want that special gift to be ready for the 13th, you need to come earlier in the week.
If you don’t quite make it in time, gift certificates allow Mom to join in the fun, or you could take a photo of the project that’s on its way.
You will walk away with your unique project in your choice of different finishes and shapes. Find Glassworks at www.umakeglass.com or call 973-656-0800.
For the Uber-Active Mom

Who knows? Mom may love it so much that she will join the thousands of others who already own one.
