What is more classic on Mother’s Day than breakfast in bed? Maybe a bouquet of gorgeous spring blooms, but our money’s on brunch! Do it up right with our best tips and some delish recipes. Bon appetit!

 

Let Mom sleep in

I know, I know: You’re wicked eager to show off your handiwork. That’s all well and good, but waking Mom up at the crack of dawn will not make for a happy mother. Get up early, just in case she rises with the sun, but let her sleep in as late as she wants. It is her day, after all.

 

Don’t make a mess

There’s nothing worse than enjoying a tasty meal…and then coming downstairs to realize that you have to clean it up, too. If you have sibs, split up the duties. Somebody slices fruit, somebody mans the toaster…and one of you washes while the other dries.

 

Presentation counts!

Make up a tray to bring to mama’s bedroom. A few blossoms in a teeny vase or a pile of cards will make Mom smile. Tip from the pros: Placing a folded paper towel beneath the plate and her cup of coffee or glass of juice will keep things from sliding.

 

Make enough to share

Unless you’re planning to retreat while your mother eats her fill, you should make enough food so that you guys can nibble while you chat without leaving your guest of honor hungry.

MOD MOD Hey, I'm not going to see my mom on mother's day, I have to be at my dad's house. What should I do?

 

Hey girl. It's not your fault that you won't be with your mom on mother's day but that doesn't mean there aren't ways to show her you care! You could still call her on that day or even send her a letter or note! If you don't want to do either of those things you could also talk to your mom about celebrating mother's day on a separate day. Any day that you show her appreciation and love will be enough. So don't stress, just show her you care!
