I can’t get behind this at all. I had a friend growing up who’s mom purchased and wrapped all of her own presents at Christmas time because it was easier/nicer than dealing with what her husband got for her. Yeah, it ensures that things go exactly the way she would like, but it also ensures that the fun gets sucked out of the holiday. I want my husband and kids to celebrate me in a way that comes organically out of who they are. Even if it means that the day doesn’t live up to some scripted fairy-tale ideal notion of what Mother’s Day is supposed to be. I want to have fun, not perfection.

This is too funny, and serendipitous. Just 2 nights ago I implored my husband, “Please-no breakfast in bed!” For exactly the reasons you’ve mentioned. There is usually much hollering and gnashing of teeth, and quite frankly, I’m not a stay-in-bed kind of person in the morning, so it’s difficult for me to lay there and wait (and wait, and wait) for the goings on to finish. Maybe next year I’ll relent.

I made the scones (I added lemon-zest and dried cranberries) and put them in the freezer with the instructions for baking. Hubby and The Kid bustled around making them Sunday morning, cutting fresh strawberries, a little 6-yr. old cheddar…and brought it all in on a tray, then left me be with a “Hello” magazine. Awesome!! Best Mother’s Day breakfast ever!

I love this post. It worked beautifully for me. My five year old was asking me the whole week about Mother's day and what we were doing. So I made gluten free waffle mix, set out the waffle maker and set the coffee maker to just be turned on. Told my husband lovingly that the kids wanted to do something for me and that I had prepped everything so that he did not have to worry. I know he works so hard, physically hard, all week so I wanted to make it easy for him too. We all slept in. He took the kids and made cards for me and got breakfast ready and we enjoy a leisurely morning. Went to the late service at church and he reorganized the garage to make room for my sewing stuff. So sweet and thoughtful! Thanks for the ideas! .-= Keilah's last blog: Mother's Day Surprise =-.

Oh, Aimee! My breakfast this morning was warm, delicious, and created entirely by my husband and kiddos – I didn’t have to do anything but print out this post THANK YOU!

What a relaxing and pampering way to start out the day …. I think we have a new Mother’s Day tradition in our house and Chris is already asking me what you are planning for Father’s Day

Best Wishes!

I’m so glad you’ve subscribed too, Alisa! Thanks for reading.

The scones can indeed be made ahead and frozen (raw or baked). So can the muffins and lemon loaf.

To reheat: remove from freezer as soon as possible in the morning (yep, that means pre-coffee-and-email-check!). Preheat an oven to 300F. Place baking on a tray and warm in the oven until heated through. Wrap in a cloth napkin and serve.

As a single Mom for over 10 years, I am well versed in the art of appreciating myself on Mother’s Day (& b’days & Xmas etc). This is a wonderful idea and I shall use it and spread it around my house for all the children to see. Thank you. And Happy Mother’s Day.
