With my dad on a business trip and my sister still in school in Boston, it was left to me to care for my beautiful mom on Mothers’ Day. No problem– I could handle it! I told my mom to sleep as late as she wanted and to call my cell phone when she woke so I could bring her breakfast. Little did I know just how long she would sleep!
I got up at 6:10, and I still had plenty of time to run, eat, shower, dress, clean the kitchen, AND make my mom’s breakfast before she called me at 10:15!
For breakfast, I cooked up some of my renowned Oatmeal Raisin Pudding (recipe here), and I served it with a few ripe, organic strawberries, a steamy mug of coffee, and a homemade card.
To exercise my creative side, I often like to make presents instead of buying them. Such was the case for Mothers’ Day this year. I found a wooden serving tray at the craft store, painted it, and spelled out “mom” in chipboard letters. Then I made a collage from pictures of my sister and me (it was so difficult to narrow down which pictures to use!).
Breakfast fit for the best mom in the world!
You’re such a sweetheart!! That tray is adorable. =)
OMG – the tray, the card, the food – it all looks SO good! You are so cute and creative!
Wow, you deserve a daughter’s day! I completely agree with you on homemade gifts. There is so much enjoyment making them and so much fulfillment giving them. Beautiful card and tray!
You’re SO sweet! I’m sure your mom knows how lucky she is to have such a talented, kind daughter! The pudding looks scrumptious, and the tray is sooooo adorable and beautiful!
I love the idea that your mother could call you after waking up!
You are a really great daughter!
That was such a creative and thoughtful gift! I love it! And breakfast looks great too!
I agree that you’re a sweetheart! Mother’s day was last week in Spain and of course I missed it (it’s not my fault that they decide to use a different day! how am I supposed to know!), and my mother was so kind to tell me even the cashier in the supermarket wished her a happy mother’s day because she looked like no one had done it. Whatever…
You are super sweet! What a lucky mom!
Just curious about your running (I run as well), what do you do? Are you training for anything, or is it just for fun? Keep up the great work!
Awwwwww!!!! That tray is just too adorable & thoughtful 😉 Sounds like you & your mom had a great day 🙂
What a beautiful way to honor your mother! The tray (and card) is lovely. But I’m sure her best gift was you.
