flowers, food and family

Happy belated Mother's Day to all you moms out there. I hope you were able to sleep in and didn't have to cook a single meal on Sunday. ☺ 
I ended up making a simple dinner on Sunday night but that was OK by me.

Magnolia blooms from our tree which was just removed on Saturday due to disease

Nothing is sweeter to me than the gifts kids make at school for moms and dads throughout the year.  Such cute cards and handmade flowers for my birthday and then this gorgeous portrait for mother's day.  On the backside she included some key words about me {runner, wine drinker, purse collector, loving mom to child, etc...it was funny}.  Maybe I'll use this as my new profile pic, no wrinkles or gray hair and huge blue eyes, I love it~ ha!

My little sister made a stellar brunch for us {mom and my little family} on Sunday.  

She and her girls served us the most incredible meal. 

She used goofy pictures of each of us as place holders at the table.

Salmon eggs benedict with roasted brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes. 

Fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls and bottomless mimosas! 

As if that wasn't enough calories we polished off this platter of homemade, strawberry cupcakes {Sprinkles cupcake recipe}. Wow, these were amazing, my sister can bake like no other. 

After overindulging on food and mimosas, the rest of the day was spent lounging on the sofa with my sweet girl. We rented a few movies and snuggled all afternoon, it was perfect. 

So, how was your weekend?  Please tell me all about it....

xo~
