Breakfast In Bed

What do Mum’s really want on Mother’s day?
We want time, a good cup of tea, peace and quiet (and a good magazine!) and of course, a little pampering. Not too much, (well, how much is too much??) maybe a nice cooked lunch or dinner, definitely breakfast in bed, a small gift and then that’s it. We are happy. And I'm not saying this to sound selfless; it is more to drum home the point that you don’t need to spend big to get the big smiles from mum. Keep it simple, out some thought into it because I promise you that will be more appreciated than a bunch of flowers from the service station!
So let’s start with a nice, simple breakfast in bed! My favourites are French Toast Crepes if I am feeling like something sweet or everyone’s favourite Smashed Avocado. So whatever Mum loves, get organised and make it for her! Pull together a little tray, a sweet plate, matching napery and a piping hot cup of tea. And of course, breakfast in bed is not complete without a bunch of flowers - blooms from the garden will do just fine!
Sweet treats are never going to be scoffed at in my house! I love a delicious biscuit that can be dipped into my favourite tea, and my Mother’s Day biscuits by Michelle’s Cookies absolutely hit the spot! So does this amazing cake created by The Butchers Daughter, it may be a little over the top for an after breakfast treat but after a long, lazy lunch, indulging in a slice is the perfect Mother’s Day treat!
