  • Mothers Day Breakfast In Bed

    Mothers Day Breakfast In Bed

    It’s an iconic image for mothers day. Shown with burnt toast, an overly messy kitchen, and always a homemade card. A Mothers Day breakfast in bed doesn’t have to follow those messy trends. With a little forethought and Dad’s help, you too can have a breakfast in bed.
     

     Mothers Day is coming up. That means it’s time to get those gifts ready, and make plans to remind Mom just how much you love her. As a mom, I will tell you right now, it’s the little things that mean the most – an acknowledgment of all she does and the little sacrifices that may not seem like much is all Mom is looking for.
    Last week I shared 7 gifts Mom will love – today I’m giving you 2 simple recipes to make Mom’s breakfast in bed extra special.
