A Mother’s Day Message
Where do we even begin? Mother’s do it all. They change dirty diapers. Chase little ones around on the playground. Prepare us for that first day of school. Help us with homework. Chauffeur us to and from activities. Cheer us on from the soccer side-lines. Prepare us for our driving test (which likely gave them even more gray hairs). Got us settled into college (and did it with a happy face even though they were emotional inside). Mothers wash our laundry. Prepare our meals. And the list goes on and on.
Even when we are adults we still want our mamas. Those sweet nurturing moments when we need a pick-me-up, or we need someone to hug us and make our troubles go away. Someone to make us chicken noodle soup when we are sick. And someone who will help us prepare for the real world – like a first job and our first home. Perhaps a wedding or the arrival of a new baby. There is so much that our mothers, or those filling in as mothers, are willing to do for us over and over again.
But until you have your own child, you might not totally understand it, or fully appreciate it. Mother’s go above and beyond for their kids. Because, after all, you are a piece of their heart who is walking around outside of their body. They love and care in such a selfless way. And if you are lucky enough to experience this beautiful incredible bond, then it is worth at least one special day each year to genuinely say thanks.

Mother’s Day Dessert Recipe
The dessert I whipped up when hosting this perfect coffee date was super easy! It is very sweet, so just a small serving is all anyone needs. That is why I like to serve this in a very small bowl or shot glass, add a little spoon, and it looks adorable!
I like to purchase cheesecake flavored pudding made by Jello. I mix this up ahead of time, which only takes a few minutes, and refrigerate.
When you are ready to serve:
- add a spoonful of gram cracker crumbs to the bottom of your bowl or glass
- add the cheesecake pudding
- top with whipped cream
- add a strawberry
- add a tiny spoon …. and enjoy!
