Shabby Chic Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day make your mom feel extra special! Or if you’re a mom of young children treat your self to a fun brunch filled with everything from yogurt parfaits to bracelet making.

In today’s new normal, simplicity is best. You don’t need much to throw a beautiful brunch. I used some extra yardage of fabric as a table cloth and put my super market flowers in a mason jar. I cut a few of the extra roses and laid them around the table!

Every good brunch needs a good drink! Mimosas make the perfect drink for a mother daughter breakfast. Fill your glass with champagne and then add a touch of orange juice (any citrus juice you have on hand works).

Little details make the brunch extra special. I used extra fabric strips to tie the napkins. I stuck with the floral theme even on the smallest of details.

Once the table is set and drinks are served, it’s time for coffee. Mother’s Day is a perfect time to make whipped coffee especially if your mom is an iced coffee fan.

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp of Instant Coffee

4 Tbsp of warm water

Sugar to taste (I put in 2 tsp)

Milk (Either dairy or a non dairy option)

Combine the instant coffee, warm water, and sugar in a bowl and whip with a hand held mixer. You can also do it with a whisk but it will take much longer. After several minutes the mixture will start to resemble the texture of whip cream. If you’re using whisk, angle the bowl slightly and whip, don’t just stir!

Fill two glasses with a few pieces of ice and 3/4 of the way up with milk. Scoop in the instant coffee of serve!

For the main course I made a yogurt parfait bar. I suggest putting your toppings in several different bowls so you and your mom can each make your own. I used berries, bananas, granola, honey, and nuts.

For dessert I made an amazing blueberry tart from the cooking blog Half Baked Harvest. It’s the perfect spring dessert.

After brunch is finished, it’s time for bracelet making. I ordered a bracelet making kit from the Etsy shop owner SHABBYFORME (instagram: @shabbyforme). It comes with ribbon/fabric, letter beads, wood beads, charms, and plastic beads. It is the perfect Mother’s Day activity!

If you aren’t with your mom during this Mother’s Day this would be the sweetest activity to ship to her and you can make bracelets and drink mimosas together virtually.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! Stay safe!
