Mother's Day

Ah, Mother's Day, the one day of the year where we set aside everything to pay homage to our moms. When I used to work retail I remember the single busiest day I ever remember working was the day before Mother's Day. People were hard core buying Garden Ridge stuff for their moms!

Most years on Mother's Day we pick a restaurant and all meet up for a nice lunch, but this year I thought it would be fun to host a Mother's Day brunch for my mom at our house. Isaac and I talked about how they have us out quite a bit for dinner, and we hardly have them over so Mother's Day seemed like the ideal day.

So tidy even my mom would approve!

After much deliberation we decided to do a late brunch. Basically just breakfast for lunch. Isaac made eggs (obviously), bacon, sausage, and I made French toast. Then like any good child who wore on their mother's last nerve when young, we also made mimosas. Really, booze is what all mom's want for Mother's Day, whether they realize it or not.
Eggs, sausage, french toast and strawberries!
Mimosa with strawberry and ice cube made of orange juice!




Everyone loves Mimosas!

It was a fun afternoon with my mom, step dad, John and my sister Rose. We ate, drank lots and sent my mom home with flowers, a bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberries!

I'm already planning for next year's Mother's Day brunch, but I think I should up the food ante. Pancakes, crepes, waffles? So many options...


So happy Mother's Day Mom, to the woman who put up with and apparently loved me and my over dramatic, over emotional, smart ass because I watched too many sitcoms, waited until 30 to get married while both her sisters got to throw their daughters weddings and baby showers self.
