Moms dish it up and serve it out on the daily. Why not beat her to the punch on Mother’s Day and bring her her favorite coffee, tea or breakfast dish before she even has a chance to step out of bed in the morning?
I remember growing up, my brother and I would make scrambled eggs in the microwave every Mother’s Day and bring them, along with some nuked grits, to our mom. She would then graciously pretend like it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten, and quickly get too stuffed to eat any more, hehe.
