And then came Mothers Day.......

Mothers Day is only 2 weeks away now, and what are we all doing for it?.......entertaining our Mums of course! And it wouldn't be Mothers Day without lots of prettiness, lovely flowers, cakes, and soft hues of pastels. When I think of my Mum, I specifically think of Hydrangeas (her favourite flower of course) and Italian shortbread, or Canestrelli as it's otherwise known (she just loves all things Italian!). So I've incorporated these two elements into my Mothers Day inspiration, along with a few other traditional ideas too.

Mothers Day wouldn't  be complete without a high tea of cupcakes, cookies, macrons and of course cake! But why not add some new ideas this year, perhaps meringues, Italian shortbread, or even donuts?! Better still, what about Petit Fours?! I'm on the campaign this year to bring back Petit Fours! They have seriously been overlooked in the entertaining world, and seemed to be just reserved as an after dinner sweet, usually at weddings and banquet dinners.  But they can be made to look so pretty and taste so delicious and really should be featured on dessert tables, not brushed aside as an after thought. So this year for Mothers Day I will put Mr Meko (aka my pastry chef/husband extraordinaire) to the job to make and share with you all a very pretty Mothers Day Petit Four, to be featured on your Mothers Day table. Watch this space for the recipe.
 
Meanwhile, I've picked out a few of my favourite ideas for Mothers Day, but the full Pinterest board can be found here, with full image credits.

  1. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647
    you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
