Mother's Day


Hope you all had a lovely mother's day. Our Sunday was definitely dedicated to all the moms in our life. When I woke up Damian had flowers for me AND (this was literally what made my morning) my favorite Iced coconut latte, it's the little things. I decided to make brunch for my mom just like last year. I made pancakes, eggs, bacon, mimosas and a had lots of fruit for us. It was nice to have brunch together and have my mom relax for a bit, she is always busy doing one thing or another. She literally does not even sit to eat so I was happy to prepare everything and do all the dishes as well, while she got to relax and enjoy herself. My only request for mother's day was to go to Hammond's for some ice cream so Damian took me there after we had brunch. It was pretty amazing, can't wait to go again! After, we visited my mother in law to wish her a happy mother's day and drop off a little present and then it was back to my mom's where my sister cooked a carnitas feast for us. It was the perfect mother's day.

Mother's Day Brunch Inspiration


Still no plans for Sunday. Seems like that's pretty much my life lately. Nothing planned. Funny because I'm the kind who organizes and plans everything in advanced but lately I've been letting things happen. Except of course Maxi's birthday, I've been planning that since months ago. Last year my sisters and I had a nice brunch for my mom, since usually every place is packed for brunch we figured that would be the best way to go. This year all I know is there will be tequila involved.

Here are some links I gathered for a perfect Mother's Day brunch or get together:

Winesicles with edible flowers.
Kiwi mint mojitos.
This simple mother's day breakfast.
Elegant make-ahead brunch. Anything make-ahead is kinda my favorite.
This mother's day brunch looks amazing.
I'm debating between making this cherry beer-garita or these strawberry margarita jello shots. But I'm most likely going to make both.

Happy Mother's Day to all you amazing mothers out there! We have the hardest and yet most wonderful and rewarding responsibility. Cheers!
XOXO, Lidia
