An Indulgent Mother's Day Breakfast.

My mama, me (with a sprained ankle grimace) and Eva when she was 3.

I know we have a healthy breakfast post every Sunday, but it's Mother's Day and I say we should allow ourselves an indulgent breakfast.  This morning we're having chopped up strawberries, challah (pronounced halla) French toast and a heap of bacon.  IT's going to be a simple Mother's Day here.  I want to work on our garden, walk the dog, eat a yummy dinner, knit, and take a bubble bath.  I hope your Mother's Day is equally fabulous for you and yours!  Enjoy!
