What do you have planned for Mother's Day?  With a few days left to plan, I've put together some brunch ideas that are pretty and festive and a great way to enjoy the morning.  Whether you want to create this for your own mother, a group of girlfriends who are moms, or set the table for you and your own young children, here is the plan for you. 

Set the Table: 

• Set a pretty, but simple table with a lace table topper and a few bunches of flowers.
• Lace and doilies always say "mom" or "ladies" to me.
• Keep the flowers in one or two colors for a stronger statement.
• Finally, tie on a special chair sign so mom knows exactly where to sit. 

Menu:

Serve a menu of delicious food that pleases everyone's palette. 

• Individual portions of quiche or frittatas makes for a pretty presentation and is a hearty main course.  
• Who doesn't love bacon, right!  Add a twist with this cornmeal & brown sugar coated recipe.
•  Growing up in the South, biscuits are a staple at the breakfast table.  Serve them with a variety of flavored butters.  Choose both savory and sweet options - herb, honey walnut, fruit flavors.
• Serve fresh fruit with a little yogurt and granola to end the meal on a light and healthy note.

Finally, make a sweet toast to mom with a mimosa, and have a Happy Mother's Day!
