Mother's day is one of the momentous occasions in my family. Sadly, this year I won't celebrate Mother's day with the leading lady in my life, my mom, because of social distancing, but it doesn't mean we can not celebrate our special day together.
My mom lives outside the country, and it seems impossible to celebrate mother's day together. But, thank God we are living in the era of Hi-tech, and what appears to be impossible to do, I can arrange it after all. This is where A-Zoom or Facebook messenger comes in handy; we will get "together" after all.
We plan to dine together via A-Zoom with the delicious menu and sit in front of a beautifully decorated table. After all, it is a special day; I think it is only fair to make the table look pretty. At the same time, face time with her seems unusual, yet, it is an extraordinary way to give extra recognition to my mom.
The pictures from last year's mother's day dinner table decor: We had it in our front yard while the dandelion was still blooming; it was such a beautiful sight, the table decorated nicely with colorful flowers, kale from our garden, and some fruits to make the arrangement look beautiful.
We also had a fire on for our dessert toast, Marshmallows. It was a fun occasion; we sat together surrounded by the fire pit after dinner.
The table is decorated with table runner flower arrangements, store-bought flowers, and leaves from our vegetation garden.
We also had a spring fruit board, which serves purposes for appetizers and decoration. We had cantaloupe melon, Grapes, Strawberries, and Kiwis. It is decorated with purple Daisies flowers.
We also had a mini cheese board, enough to satisfy the young'uns, and it is delicious to eat with the sandwich and a delightful addition for toast, a chocolate marshmallow.
The tables are decorated with store-bought flowers; Roses, Daisies, Kale bayou leaves, and flowers from our Vegetable garden. We didn't throw away the kale leaves after dinner; we kept them for the next day's menu. It is one of the great ideas for reusing the decor.
One of the favorite menus on the table was this delicious mouth-watering Spinach & melted Mozzarella Cheese Panini (click to get the recipe)
The decorations are from Walmart, Target, Von's, and Safeway Supermarket.
Thank you so much for reading,
Happy Mother's Day!
For all the wonderful mothers out there. And please stay well and safe.
Much love,
