This past Sunday I hosted a Mother's day brunch. My parents, my inlaws, my grandma, and my brother with his family where invited. We were 10 adults and 3 kids. It turned out to be a really nice day. I was up early preparing all the food. Some I even baked the night before. These events are always a lot of work, but worth it in the end! Here's a little walk-through of the spread I made.
 |
| Strawberry and Yogurt Muffins |
 |
| Healthy Chocolate Muffins (made with oats, greek yogurt and apple sauce) |
 |
| Oven Fries |
 |
| A tomato, basil and bocconcini salad. Lots of bacon! (took me 1.5 hours to fry!) |
 |
| Mini Frittatas (I made in muffin tins) |
 |
| Raspberries and Black Berries |
 |
| Strawberries in this cute little pink bucket |
 |
| A peach nectar Mimosa to start the morning right! |
 |
| Here's a picture of me and my little man! |

| And this is what happens after a big day and no nap! Haha So cute! |
For dessert we had coffee and Chocolate Mousse that my dad made (I forgot to take a picture). Sooooooo yummy! Oh and with our meal we had homemade bread. Two types: Cinnamon and Raison, and Pecan and Dates. My mom made them and they were to die for! (Also forgot to take a picture). After stuffing our bellies full, we hung out for awhile. Then everyone left but my in-laws and we took the little man to the park to play a bit. We called his friends to joins us. Thats pretty much it for the day. After the park we went home, the inlaws went home and we rested. It was a full busy day. The weather was beautiful and it was nice spending time with the family.
It is a true blessing to be a mother and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! I love my little man so much! And I love MY mom with all my heart too! XOX Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!
