Drink up!
Celebrate your mom with a refreshing Mother's Day cocktail. Select light, fruity cocktails with a Champagne base. Try the grand mimosa cocktail, fresh cranberry pear Bellini or pomegranate Champagne cocktail.
Don't stress
Don't be afraid to pick up from your neighborhood deli or bakery. For Mother's Day, your mom and your family want to enjoy your company. They know you can cook! So don't be tempted to try to bake everything from scratch, deck out your home in beautiful decorations and play the hostess with the mostess. Brunch fare shouldn't be heavy. If all else fails, you can just put together a collection of salads (fruit, green and pasta) along with croissants and a variety of jams and call it a brunch.
