Mother's Day Brunch

What happens when one of your daughters grows up and buys a house? She hosts some of the family gatherings!

She makes us really delicious food.



And has a beautiful, smart, funny, amazing baby.


And a wonderful/wacky husband.


She never minds us coming to her house no matter how nuts we are because she's used to it.


She arranged everything including having Great Mimi picked up and brought over for Mother's Day brunch because no family gathering is complete without the generations coming together.


Speaking of the generations... I saw the cutest teepee online and thought it would be adorable for Baby M. Until I looked at the price. YIKES! So, I asked Mother (Great Mimi) if she would make one. She did.


I'm convinced it's a gazillion times better than the ones at the store FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST.


And then there's the whole, ours was made with love thing.


One of the best things about this Mother's Day? Watching my daughter be a most amazing mommy. 


Oh, the dogs had a good time, too. 


Just because I can because I'm Grandma---



What did y'all do this weekend?

Speaking of Eggs

The week before Baby M arrived, Birdie and I went to brunch. It was the last time she and I partook of an outing before her new little bundle arrived. I had every intention of posting this a couple of weeks ago and wonder if Baby M would, indeed, arrive the following week or two. Too late now! We are all aware of the outcome. Baby M made her appearance exactly one week after this brunch. :)

Birdie had the sweet potato pancakes. So yummy!
Birdie was ready to not be pregnant anymore but it never slowed her down. She worked up until the day she went into labor. Actually, she worked the second half on her day IN labor. Anyway, she wanted to go to brunch at, Another Broken Egg Cafe


It was fantastic! The decor is easily appreciated. The colors are soft and I especially loved the ceiling which had exposed duct work. I think that's called the industrial look? I like that look. The place was clean without smelling like cleaner too and that is always a good thing. And, their coffee was delicious! I'm so picky about coffee but the folks at Another Broken Egg Cafe know how to work a coffee bean.



The menu had offered plentiful delectable dishes but was not overwhelming which I appreciated. Y'all, I would have sworn I took a picture of the menu but it is nowhere to be found. Which means I lost it or the taking of it was only in my mind. Sorry. But y'all can look it over right HERE.



Our server was personable, helpful, and hilarious. We wondered if she wasn't somehow related to our crazy family! Choosing something from the menu was proving a daunting task for me so she jumped right in to help. Once she discovered I have more of a bland palette (by bland I mean, if you put a hot pepper or hot sauce on my food, I am not going to eat it), she made a few suggestions and I chose from those.

As mentioned above, Birdie had the sweet potato pancake.



While I opted for the biscuit and gravy. Which came with two eggs, sausage and potatoes. So, not just biscuit and gravy. Ha! The dish was NOT bland at all but there were no hot peppers or hot sauce. Both dishes were quite delicious, actually. Hot peppers would have spoiled it. For me, anyway.


The atmosphere, the cleanliness, the menu, the server, the food itself, the company, and the PRICES all together made for a most pleasant, savory brunch.

Will I go back again? You betcha! A+, Another Broken Egg Cafe!
