Kidzworld Kitchen: Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed

Let’s face it! We are not always as nice to our mothers as we should be. It’s easy to forget that the meals don’t cook themselves, the laundry doesn’t magically get folded and fairies aren’t cleaning the house. For most of us, it’s mom that is doing all that behind the scenes stuff for us. It’s a lot of tough work and she does it with a smile and lots of love. So it really is the least we can do to give these lovely mamas one single day a year to be pampered and treated like queens. So grab a pretty bouquet of fresh flowers, write a special note in a card and bring her a fantastic breakfast in bed she won’t soon forget!

All the recipes and instructions you’ll need are right here to start her Mother’s Day off with a bang. Oh, and don’t forget to clean the kitchen when you’re done. Moms hate a mess.
