BREAKFAST IN BED

Exceptional days, like birthdays and Mother’s Day, require special attention. There’s nothing like making breakfast in bed to show someone just how much you love him or her. It’s a beautiful break from the regular routine and the perfect way to start a day of celebration.

My family loves to curl up in bed together. We usually pile in and watch a movie, or if it’s someone’s birthday, we all jump in together in our pj’s and open early-morning gifts. On Mother’s Day I’m treated to breakfast in bed that we all end up sharing. Since I’m the one who loves to cook in our house, I usually give my husband a little help by making pancake batter ahead of time so it’s ready and waiting in the fridge for him. I’ve also been known to set out a breakfast tray the night before as a hint!
