Na Leo Pilimehana — from left, Nalani Choy, Lehua Kalima Kalama and Angela Morales — along with Andy Bumatai and Cory Oliveros, offer lunch and dinner Mother's Day celebrations Sunday at the Hawaii Ballroom of the Sheraton Waikiki.
Sunday is Mother's Day, and if you're cooking and partying at home, great. However, If you're planning a brunch or dinner outing, better hele on with the reservations and let your fingers do the walking, and quickly. No more excuses — the time is now to decide on a celebration.
