Happy Mother’s Day

I usually talk about food, but since this is my blog I also get to be mushy about the wonderful women in my life! Tomorrow we will celebrate Mother’s Day, the one day out of the each year Motherly love, wisdom, and guidance is appreciated and shown with cards, gifts, and family fellowship. Meet the women of my life…

My beautiful Mom, my best friend and biggest supporter.

My Granny, a woman of great wisdom and strength.

My Mother-in-Law, I think I might be the only daughter-in-law that truly enjoys her in-law’s.

and my Aunt Sissy, who can always make me laugh and have a good time!

Each one of these women holds a very special place in my heart. I miss them dearly when we are miles apart and enjoy each minute we spend together. God has truly blessed me with great role models. Each one has so much wisdom and life experience to empower me with. I love you all and wish I could give you each a big hug and kiss on this Mother’s Day! I send you all my love and pray that God will continue to shower you with His richest blessings.

For those that haven’t finalized their Mother’s Day plans, here are some ideas for a Brunch menu.

Baby Shower Menu

On Friday I briefly mentioned a Baby Shower that I helped throw for my dear friend Mandy. I had so much fun planning and throwing her another baby shower. Sometimes I feel that I never get a chance to let my creative, crafty juices flow with work, school, and life in general so this was a fun little project that gave me a happy boost! This week I decided I would share with you some recipes that I made for the shower. Each dish can be enjoyed at any time – special occasion or not.

Here was the menu:

Garlic and Brie Dip

Chicken Salad on crackers

Fruit and cheese platters

Various sandwiches

Banana Bread Sandwiches

Lemon Blossoms

Sugar Cookies

Strawberry Champagne Cupcakes

Stay tuned for the recipes above, I will be posting them throughout the week! I will leave you with a picture of Mandy, big sister Madison, and me... all we are missing is Baby Elise, which we hope will make her appearance into the world this week!
