Mother's Day is finally here and I like to think that we should celebrate all week. Just a small affair, like the Royal Wedding. To reward me for putting up with my teenager. Aside from the whole world pausing to shower me with cash and prizes, it's also time for me to honor the Moms in my life. Not only do I have the greatest Mom on the planet I have TWO of them. (They cloned her.) Just kidding, she has a twin and that is the next best thing to a clone. I know I've told all of you about my car accident in 2010. And how I couldn't walk for months. And then surgery on my foot this year. And I'm still not walking. Well all the time I've been sitting around with my foot propped up, the house didn't exactly clean itself. And that laundry didn't jump into the washer and dryer. My dear mother and aunt have come over almost every day for the last year to help me around the house. And take care of me. And provide a shoulder to cry on. So they deserve a special day and sweet treat. After dinner tonight, we're having a Hot Fudge Sundae Bar, complete with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, homemade raspberry, marshmallow and hot fudge sauces, whipped cream, chopped nuts, strawberries, bananas, and brownies. An ooey-gooey-create-your-own-throw the diet out the window-Mother's Day delight. My mother-in-law will be here too, a couple of my other aunts and my best friend. Because we're all moms. And we like sundaes. I promise I'll post the ice cream topping recipes soon. I'm making my From Scratch Brownies to go along with the ice cream. Just to take the edge off.
Here's the little Kleenex Caddy I made for the Moms. |
It includes a little magnet/bookmark and monogrammed tissues. You can learn how to make your own HERE. |
They are also getting a Red Velvet Cupcake in a Jar. Complete with spoon for quick and easy eating. In case the sundaes aren't enough. You can see the instructions for the cupcakes in a jar HERE. |
I hope you had a terrific Mother's Day!! LOVED this post!! :)
