CHICAGO (WLS) -- It's never too late to celebrate Mother's Day. Some would even argue Mother's Day is every day.
"Windy City Weekend" celebrated a Mother's Day show with a vibrant live audience. Val Warner was at the desk for a "mommy roundtable" with social media personalities and influential mothers, Mama Fresh Chi, Kirsten Corley and Love McPherson. Plus, Ryan Chiaverini took to the crowd to get some reactions and commentary.
The roundtable discussed "Maycember" burnout and how social media is impacting motherhood.
"Mommy Mocktails" were provided by Abu Sauce. The non-alcoholic drink is perfect for those who don't consume alcohol for any reason, offering a delicious, refreshing mixed drink.
What launched as a small mocktail cart in July 2022 has now expanded into to a full-service mocktail cart business, serving hundreds of events from Chicago to Dallas and Canada. From weddings, to grand openings, to corporate events, Abu Sauce is ready to "Sauce Up The Ordinary!"
You can even do it yourself and sauce up your own mocktail from home. With up to six different syrups to choose from, you can order directly from their website and create your own blend.
Moms need some self-care from time to time; so Nicole Pearl stopped by to share some summer wellness trends.
Below are the products from the show:

One of a mother's worst nightmares is fear of her child drowning. That rings all too true for one local mom, Carla Ammons, whose son, Legend, is a drowning survivor. That's why Lurie Children's Pediatric partners are encouraging parents to enroll their kids in swimming lessons at Goldfish Swim School.
