14 days of love for Valentine's Day: Day 2-breakfast in bed

























Who doesn't love breakfast in bed?

It was a family tradition in our home to be honored with
breakfast in bed for special occasions,
and we happily served our mom
a tray of homemade treats each year for her birthday. 
It feels decadent to be served a small meal,
with flowers and in the comfort of your bed!


Add a poem or a note, and now you've put it over the top. 
I say, go on and pamper someone you love on Valentine's Day...
the morning paper, a steaming cup of hot coffee, scones...
maybe their favorite jam.

no need to cook an elaborate meal,
and even a bowl of cereal and fresh cut fruit
will feel special when served up with love
on Valentine's Day
