Here are a few Mother’s Day Brunch recipes to help get your creative juices flowing this weekend. I find that keeping things simple is always best. Remember it’s not just about the food, it is about the time you spend together.
When I first moved to Spokane from Southern California back in my young 20’s, my mother made a tradition of coming up to visit every Mother’s Day. I can still remember the excitement and joy she felt as we would walk through the lilac gardens smelling each and every variety. Those were some of our happiest times together. She loved seeing all the colorful tulips, but her favorite was the tiny little white fragrant bells of Lilly of the Valley.
Remember to have fun, and make it joyful! Happy Mother’s Day to all you incredible women out there. xoxo
