FANCY for Mom

With Mothers Day quickly approaching, and everyone leading such busy lives, we may very well  be running out of time or ideas to treat our Mom's. Why not celebrate with a beautiful lunch. Set the table with your best dishes. It doesn't matter if they are your best china or everyday dishes. You can dress up the table with colorful flowers, a pretty table cloth or place mats. Try adding either in a single vase or scattered small ones around the table(they can even be mismatched). If you want to be creative try using a tea pot, pretty glass or wine bottle for your flowers. You can go to the garden and get some of your own flowers or visit your local florist, sometimes they will even put an arrangement in something you bring in to them. Instead of tall tapered candles try scattering tea lights or votive candles on the table. This way you won't have to worry about knocking one over when serving your food. Choose pretty napkins and decide on a menu that would make your mom relax and enjoy herself. You know her best so pick her favorites!
