mother’s day brunch

April 27, 2016

As promised here is the whole Mother’s Day Brunch we threw for some friends! You can catch more details on the Acai Bowl Bar here as well.We always talk about how our friends are some of the best parents we know, they are the people we look up to so much and want to emulate, and we need each other so much since we’re all in the same season and stage of life. Since Mother’s Day is usually all about your immediate family or celebrating your own mother or sisters, we wanted to do something as friends beforehand to pamper them a little bit!It was nothing crazy. One bunch of flowers and some washi tape for the wall set the tone for our simple day. White ceramics and bright fruit was all we needed, really!To go along with the breakfast we also did an herbal tea bar. We used this Bella Housewares kettle which has water boiling in about 3 seconds. Seriously, its nice too that you don’t need to be by a stove. You just plug it in wherever you want to brew your tea and it’s good to go! Great for a party!Find them all here.Our favorite teas + sweeteners. Emily is the tea fanatic around here and here are her favorites:Pumpkin Spice Rooibos // Rooibos Chai // Mint Melange (peppermint, lemongrass and spearmint!) // Gingerbread Tea // Passion Tea (awesome iced!) Sweetened with La Perruche’s Rough Cut Pure Cane Cubes!As friends we talked about motherhood, our favorite and least favorite parts, when we feel the most fulfilled and shared why we look up to each of them. It was so nice to have nothing to do but chat and enjoy being together! Nicole is always so good about getting beautiful photos of everyone, such a nice gift to have that no one wants to ask for, an element to add if you recreate this brunch with your own loved ones! Even if it’s just an iPhone shot!
