Mother's Day: the Homemade Breakfast

In case you hadn't noticed all the cards and pretty bouquets 

at your supermarket's checkout tills, 

Mother's Day is fast approaching here in the UK. 

On the 26 March 2017, 

mums are in for a day of treats and love, 

and what would be better than to start off that day 

with the best homemade breakfast? 

Let me tell you, 

as much as I love a good restaurant meal on Mother's Day, 

nothing beats a lie in and a delicious breakfast, 

complete with flowers and a small{ish} gift. 

So, dads and kids, here are some tips on how to prepare 

the best homemade breakfast for Mother's Day 

and make her feel very special. 

The Food 

The key to culinary success is to keep it simple and easy, 

especially if you are preparing mum's breakfast with the children. 

A warm batch of croissants with small pots of jam, 

a freshly squeezed orange juice and a nice cup of coffee/tea 

make a delicious breakfast.

The Presentation

Get the breakfast tray looking like a posh hotel's 

with these fairly easy steps. 

Place a one or two flowers in a small vase, 

get your fine china and silver cutlery out 

{picture: *monogrammed fine china plate 

and *engraved silver plated spoon and knife}, 

and don't forget a linen napkin and a card!

The Gift 

Dear dads, the Mother's Day gift doesn't have to cost a fortune, 

but it can't be the children's school creation either.

My advice: one can't get it wrong with personalised gifts; 

I've yet to meet a person who wouldn't want to receive 

something with their name on

{for instance, this *personalised Ladybird book is fun, original 

and won't break the bank at £12.99}. 

Monogrammed fine china plate £14.99, Silver plated spoon £21.99, Silver plated butter knife £14.99 and Personalised Ladybird book £12.99 all from www.ijustloveit.co.uk
