biscotti + brew in bed

while i can't provide the bed or make the breakfast for you, i can offer some tips this mother's day that will make every mama's day:

1) don't wake mom.

2) brew some coffee (preferably a special roast, but even instant folgers will do. it's the thought that counts).

3) make biscotti (how 'bout whipping up this recipe from smitten kitchen for fig and walnut?). in a pinch, run out + buy some.

4) go outside + clip some flowers - even dandelions will do - or a few little twigs (mom will love the effort extended....).

5) place your clippings in a small bud vase or juice cup (any cute vessel will do....).

6) arrange all on a pretty tray. 

7) after mom awakens, bring her biscotti + brew in bed.

happy mother's day to moms near + far. we all share the same secret...
