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.

    1. lol. I've been trying to get my kids to eat more oatmeal and less cereal (it's so expensive!), so this was a result of that. They still manage to pick around the oatmeal though. At least the fruit and yogurt is healthier for them. I'm in love with it though.

  1. Stopping by sorry it took me a bit. Linked up last night but your post wasn't live yet but now I am back and super impressed with your Chocolate Butterfly. What a special touch to a perfect Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed! Off to check out all the new recipes that were linked up since last night.

    1. Felissa, thanks so much for stopping by. Diane is always quicker at getting her post up 🙂 I do try to schedule it out, but thursday nights seem to creep up on me, lol.

  2. The yogurt and the muffin sound delicious. So does the idea of breakfast in bed with a good book.
    Thanks so much for linking up at the Real Family Fun link party! Hope to see you next week.

    1. I personally think any day is complete if a good book is involved 🙂 Thanks for the party, I've added the button to my "Where I Party" page (in hopes of remembering to join each week)
