Best Mother's Day gift - breakfast in bed!

Mother's Day gift idea #1 - breakfast in bed! I think breakfast in bed or breakfast on the deck might be a wonderful idea. It implies - "you've got all day, take it easy, we'll take care of everything." So, be sure, if this is what you do for Mother's Day that you don't leave a disaster in the kitchen for her to clean up later (I know you wouldn't do that).

For a lazy morning Mother might love to slip into some wonderful pajamas from Sleepyhead while she waits for you to serve her breakfast. The pjs are comfortable, all colors and styles - and they say RELAX!

For a great Mother's Day breakfast, if you're taking care of it yourself, may I suggest French Toast. It is simple, and there are many ways to dress it up. You've had it plenty of times - probably with syrup or jam - and that's great - but there are many other things you can add depending on what Mom likes.Here are a few suggestions other than syrup or jam:sprinkle with cinnamon (lightly)mix together her favorite fresh fruits - blueberries, peaches, bananas and pile on top of the french toastuse a favorite flavored coffee creamer and pour lightly over the warm french toast

Here is a simple recipe for french toast:
INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar, optional
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
10 to 12 slices white breadbutter
PREPARATION:Break eggs into a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate; beat lightly with a fork. Stir in sugar, salt, and milk.Over medium-low heat, heat griddle or skillet coated with a thin layer of butter or margarine.Place the bread slices, one at a time, into the bowl or plate, letting slices soak up egg mixture for a few seconds, then carefully turn to coat the other side. Soak/coat only as many slices as you will be cooking at one time.Transfer bread slices to griddle or skillet, heating slowly until bottom is golden brown. Turn and brown the other side.
Recipe for French toast serves 4.

Does she like bacon or sausage? You could add that for the breakfast. And a good juice, coffee or tea. Don't forget flowers in a vase - and a clean kitchen. All this while Mom lounges - she will definitely feel appreciated this Mother's Day.

Pajamas make a great Mother's Day gift!

This Mother's Day gift idea came from my recent extra time in bed. I did everything healthy I knew to do - mega Vitamin C, echinecea, chicken soup, washed my hands endlessly and still I got it - the flu hit this weekend. In fact, here I am in front of the fireplace with my laptop - it's 1:16 PM and I'm still in my pajamas. And I am so comfortable and cozy...the best I can feel until this "bug" gets out of my system. So I thought I would pass along to you another great idea for a Mother's Day gift - pajamas! I love them.

Especially during the winter my husband and I put on our pjs as soon as possible when we get home from work. Whatever we have to do at home in the evening - we do in our pajamas. It is relaxing, comfortable and cozily intimate. I have 3 winter pairs -not sexy - but wonderfully comfortable - and yes, even fashionable.

I found this adorable company, Sleepyheads, that has the best pjs - all styles.

My very favorite thing to do on Sunday AM is stay in my pjs, eat breakfast late and read the paper. That just makes my weekend. Trick is to have some really great pajamas. Maybe this Mother's Day, your Mom would take the day off if she had great pjs.

They have Her and His pjs and they have Mother and Daughter pajamas, or pjs for the whole family. Also, if you care about this kind of thing there is a list of celebrities who have become customers. They are fun! So, consider pajamas for your Mom's Mother's Day gift .

You can lounge around together!
