52 Mother's Days Breakfast Ideas to Serve Mom in Bed
Say "I love you" by waking her with a homemade meal. ❤️
Moms do a whole lot for their kids. So every once in a while (cough, cough Mother's Day cough) it's important to let our moms—or our mother figures—know just how important they are—by pampering the ever lovin' heck out of them.
Aside from that perfect Mother's Day gift, one of the best ways to treat mom well is with a Mother's Day breakfast served in bed.
It's worth the effort of waking up early and turning the kitchen into a holy mess (which you will then clean up!) to bring mom a platter of her favorite foods on a little folding breakfast tray so she can nosh in her pjs from the comfort of her own bed.
The look of surprise on her face when you tap on the door and bring it in will say it all. If she's a Country Living fan, you can even print out one of our cheeky "do not disturb" door hangers and certificates to make it extra special.
Need some Mother's Day breakfast ideas? That's what this list is for! We've got ideas for every mom, from savory to sweet. And she'll love that you made it yourself!
