I couldn’t be more grateful to be celebrating another Mother’s Day with my three beautiful boys. Motherhood is crazy, exciting, scary, fun, and every emotion in between, and moms truly are superheroes! Big shout out to all of the mothers and mother figures out there — you’re absolutely incredible.
This weekend, I put together the best brunch recipes that are perfect for Mother’s Day. Whether you get to cook them for her in person or are celebrating afar, these Mother’s Day brunch recipes are ones she’ll love.
Nominate a mom for a beautiful gift box
I wanted to do something extra special for a few moms in the AK Community. I’ve put together beautiful Mother’s Day gift boxes and will send them out to 3 lucky mamas that YOU get to nominate! Here’s how it works:
- Head to this form to nominate a mom in your life that you want to show extra love to this year. This can be your own mom, grandma, new mama friend, or any mother figure that means something special to you.
- On Wednesday, 4/30, we’ll randomly select 3 winners and will email you if your nominee won a gift box. You’ll have 48 hours to respond via email to claim the gift box and send us your nominee’s address.
- We’ll ship the gift boxes to arrive before Mother’s Day!
Shop our Mother’s Day gift guide
The team and I also put together the perfect Mother’s Day gift guide filled with little gifts she’d never think to get herself. Show her extra love this Mother’s Day with a few surprises she’ll adore, and pair them with the BEST brunch recipes below.
