Of all the sweet things my sister and I did for our mom for Mother's Day, I think the most memorable for her was the first time we made her breakfast in bed. We thought we made a delicious breakfast but years later, the truth came out...it was disgusting. You see, we were so young that the only thing we could make was oatmeal in the microwave. So first thing first, we cooked the oatmeal.Then knowing that presentation is the second most important part of a good meal, we needed a pretty tray to serve it on. So off to grandma and grandpas house we went (they live across the street from my parents) to get a serving tray. Since no Mother's Day would be complete without flowers, we picked some flowers along the way. All the while, the oatmeal was sitting on the counter getting cold and chunky. Lastly, we made toast and placed her breakfast on the tray. We proudly served our mom breakfast in bed and watched her eat (or choke down, as she recalls it) every last bite. Apparently, oatmeal that has sat on the counter for an hour isn't the tastiest. Needless to say, the next year my dad insisted on helping us cook her breakfast.
What is the best Mother's Day present (besides cold chunky oatmeal)? Jewelry, of course! And now you have the chance to win the gorgeous
Leaf Chandelier Earrings from
Blue Nile. You can give them to your mom as a gift or keep them for yourself. Because lets face it, without us kids, moms wouldn't even be moms so we deserve a little gift too, right? No? I think my logic makes perfect sense.
