Mother's Day Brunch

It has been a little while since I last posted! I'm definitely not the same since I had the episode with my PE's but I am recovering. I am easily exhausted and have been spending most my energy cleaning Todd's garage. I will have to make a post about that soon (; ....but I am very happy to say that it is almost done! So now I can focus what little energy I have on the wedding/blogging again but first I wanted to share our mother's day weekend with you!

This past weekend my family & I put together a little mothers day brunch for my mom & aunt. It turned out so wonderful! 

I spent the day before mothers day in palm springs so I made a trip to the flower mart out there so I could make arrangements to serve as gifts and as centerpieces. 


The flower mart didn't have a huge selection like I'm used to but I thought they came out pretty nice considering. I used calla lilies, roses, hydrangeas, and daises. Even though we are on a budget I still wanted it to feel nice as if we had went out so I made flower place cards for everyone.   

This is how the table setting came out! It was so cute!

 We all pitched in and made a different food item for a brunch buffet. We had a waffle station, french toast casserole, bacon, fruit, potatoes but I think one of the favorites was these breakfast bread bowls. Everyone took a bread bowl and put in whatever fillings they wanted (spinach, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, etc..). Then we topped them with an egg and baked them. They were delicious! 
For their gift we all decided to pitch in and bought a family photo session with my wedding photographer Christa on June 1st. We are so excited and can't wait to see how they all come out! 
It was a wonderful brunch and I think my mom and aunt were very happy with it. Hope you all enjoyed spoiling your moms on mothers day as well!
