What Does Mom Like?

You don’t need a big budget to create a beautiful, heartfelt setting. These easy projects add warmth and charm to any celebration:

Garden Tea Party

Brunch & Bubbly

Spa at Home

Cozy Movie Morning

Art & Craft Picnic

Set up an art station outdoors with paint-by-number kits or a DIY flower crown activity.

Pajamas, homemade pastries, coffee bar, and her favorite flicks or family classics.

Face masks, foot soaks, soft music, candles, and cucumber water—perfect for moms who need a reset.

Mimosas, fruit platters, fresh waffles, and a build-your-own toast bar.

Outdoor setting with vintage teacups, lace tablecloths, finger sandwiches, and pastel florals.

Food Ideas for Mom

It doesn't matter what your initial theme to Mom's celebration happens to be, the food and beverages are certain to please and match whatever special thing you do for Mom.

Spinach Quiche

This is one of my favorite go-to recipes for special occasions. Love & Lemons's spinach, egg, and flaky crust are winners.

Grand Marnier Mimosa

Why not add a twist to an old classic? Adding Grand Marnier is an excellent addition to this cocktail by Esquire.

No-Fuss Lemon Tart

Delicious and breathtaking, Half-Baked Harvest provides a yummy recipe for a lemon tart.

The Waffle Brunch Board is a unique spread that is not only nice-looking but also yummy. You can add whatever mom prefers; however, Baking Me Lazy provides great suggestions.

Spring Salad

I'm not a fan of salads and rarely eat the 'traditional' kind. However, I LOVE Ahead of Thyme's untraditional take on the classic salad.
