Instead of buying your mom a bouquet of flowers, take her to a movie for Mother's Day. Sunday, May 13, the Downer Theatre along with approximately a hundred other movie theaters around the country, will serve up "Waitress" as a special treat.
The movie, starring Keri Russell, focuses on an unhappily married pregnant woman who has a talent for pie-making. She also gains an unlikely crush in her doctor, played by Nathan Fillion.
Along with a chance in seeing an advanced screening of "Waitress," those in attendance will receive gift bags packed with items from Martha Stewart, Covergirl and more.
Check out moviewithmom.com for tickets as well as an e-vite for mom.
Originally from Des Plaines, Ill., Heather moved to Milwaukee to earn a B.A. in journalism from Marquette University. With a tongue-twisting last name like Leszczewicz, it's best to go into a career where people don't need to say your name often.
However, she's still sticking to some of her Illinoisan ways (she won't reform when it comes to things like pop, water fountain or ATM), though she's grown to enjoy her time in the Brew City.
Although her journalism career is still budding, Heather has had the chance for some once-in-a-lifetime interviews with celebrities like actor Vince Vaughn and actress Charlize Theron, director Cameron Crowe and singers Ben Kweller and Isaac Hanson of '90s brother boy band Hanson.
Heather's a self-proclaimed workaholic but loves her entertainment. She's a real television and movie fanatic, book nerd, music junkie, coffee addict and pop culture aficionado.
