Mother’s Day gifts can sometimes be a bit of
a challenge, trying to find the perfect present for someone so special is not
easy. It wasn't until I recently became a mom that I realized how simple this
could be. This year is my first Mother’s Day and my husband keeps asking me
what I want. After some serious
online browsing, window-shopping and discussion I've come up with one simple
idea; breakfast in bed!
Finding the perfect gift for mom this year
might be something as simple as spending Sunday morning in bed. I can remember
the first time I tried to do this for my mom and while the toast was burnt, the
coffee a mud puddle disaster and the eggs a runny mess; she was happy. Simple and creative ways to spend time
with mom might be exactly what she wants.
For me, my favourite part of the weekend is
Sunday morning cuddle time with the whole family. Even our dog, Charlie, knows
that Sunday mornings are best spent together in bed.

So how do you plan for a gift like this? By
waking-up a little earlier than usual and preparing your mama’s favourite
breakfast. Here are a few of my favourites.
COFFEE
FIRST:
for this occasion you want to get her the best. A couple of my beloved beans
include: Birds
and Beans’ Guatemala Santa Rita and Muskoka Maple.
BLUEBERRY
PANCAKES: after learning that my husband did not
know we had pancake mix in the cupboard and made the most delicious pancakes from scratch a few
weeks ago, these are a must have for me. Simply mix in a ½ cup of
blueberries into your pancake batter (homemade or boxed will do) and then
sprinkle a few fresh blueberries over a dollop of whip cream to make these
special.
ROSEMARY
BACON: this is something I've had a few times
while out for brunch and absolutely love! You can't go wrong with this; who
doesn't love bacon? All you need to do is add a little fresh
rosemary once the bacon is almost done cooking and you've taken an already
beloved breakfast staple and made it gourmet!
BERRY
BOWL: this adds something light and fresh to the
meal. Just wash mom's favourite berries, sprinkle a little sugar on top and voila – simple, sweet and fresh.

way to make mamma happy this Mother’s Day, consider these tasty twists on the
classic breakfast in bed.
And to all the mamas out there, Happy
Mother’s Day!
