Very Simple Mother's Day Brunch

Mother's Day can be tricky when it comes to making plans, and who we should be celebrating. In my mind kids are not a life requirement, so Mother's Day is a day to celebrate all women. Our ability to nurture and cultivate our lives lends to the mothering spirit we celebrate on Mother's Day, so no matter where you are on your adventure, I've got a very simple Mother's Day menu for you. I'm not kidding it's really simple, like, three things and one of them is sparkling wine...Read on for full recipes...
