Every year, as more and more of my friends have children, I appreciate a little more all the things my mother did for me. Being a mother is serious work and despite the many things I remember from the past 28 years, her complaining is not one of them. Mom was always working hard for us and always available when we needed her. We didn’t get to spend the holiday together this year, but we’ll see each other soon and I’m looking forward to celebrating then. I love you, mom.
In the event that you too are postponing your Mother’s Day celebration, or just looking for more ways to tell her you love her, I’m sharing some of the best ideas I’ve seen recently:
Apartment Therapy has some gift suggestions for the “modern mom”, as well as some non-traditional flower ideas.
I love this idea for creating customized tea bags tags as a gift shared on The Kitchn. Inexpensive and super cute.
I’ll never forget going to Wales in college during Spring Break and seeing “Mum’s Day” cards. mental_floss has the scoop on 10 other mother’s days from around the world.
If you’re like me and enjoy showing your love through food
Closet Cooking has 21 recipes for Mother’s Day, for any meal of the day.
Serious Eats has a number of breakfast recipes to celebrate your mom and Food Republic put together their ideas for brunch.
Tracy’s “ideal Mother’s Day breakfast” includes these cheddar jalapeño biscuits. Yes, please.
Joy the Baker shared recipe ideas for Mother’s Day all week, but her final post for Raspberry Rose Fizz includes links to all the recipes.
Lastly, I’ll just leave you with this:
This was very sweet, Emily. Thank you. I’m looking forward to seeing you!
And I think I still have a “Mum’s Day” card that you gave me!
Mom
