Mom's big day is almost here! If you've decided to spoil her with a Mother's Day brunch, make it a morning-long indulgence that shows her how much you care. Here's how you can nurture relaxation and create memories for that special woman in your life.

Decorate a window with paper flowers

If the kids get up early, put them to work on yet another craft project. Have them cut out and stick colorful paper flowers to a central window in the home. This uncommon bouquet will surprise and delight mom when she wakes up and starts her day. We suggest embellishing the front door or a living room window.

Let mom sleep in late if she wants

When you hear her beginning to stir, let her know the kids have been taken care of and she can have a leisure morning. Maybe that means soaking in the bath, heading to the patio to enjoy a cup of coffee, or catching a few more zzzs. Whatever mom wants, she can enjoy on her day!

Surprise mom with brunch

Once mom is ready to join the family for the day, tempt her taste buds with some of her favorite breakfast-meets-lunch foods and flavors. If you need some recipe ideas, we recommend these lemon-raspberry pancakes, mini quiches with goat cheese and asparagus, and honey cinnamon lattes. For dessert, indulge in these adorable chocolate cinnamon pots de crème.

Serve the meal like a restaurant

Deliver her breakfast in bed, drape a table cloth over the picnic table in the backyard, or set up the dining room as you would for a holiday meal. Use the pretty glasses and nice napkins. Offer her beverage choices, including coffee with creamy a2 Milk® Half and Half, HERSHEY’S a2 Milk®, or some iced tea. Make her the star of the meal!

During the meal, celebrate mom

As mom enjoys her food have each child present their card and tell mom why she is important to them. Then, allow each child to share a one-on-one moment with mom. Maybe they read a poem, sing her a song, or give her a big hug. And you can join in on the fun too! Tell mom why she's a great parent and why she fills your heart with love.

Let mom enjoy her favorite activities

Set her up with a blanket and pillows to indulge in her favorite movie. Or, encourage her to head outside for a walk around the neighborhood with the family dog. Let her choose the activity she wants for a relaxing day!
