Throwing together a sweet and thoughtful Mother’s Day celebration doesn’t have to be hard! As a Mom myself, I can wholeheartedly say that it really is the thought that counts. And watching your loved ones put together something that took ANY level of planning is always so heartwarming as a Mom! Handmade gifts, treats, and special experiences are always at the top of my list of things I’d love to receive. One of the things we love doing as a family is enjoying a special meal for Mother’s Day. I’ve shared my ideal Mother’s Day brunch menu on this blog before, but it’s just as nice to organize a great lunch or a really delicious dinner to celebrate the day!
We are going to have a really nice dinner with the kiddos this Mother’s Day (Ian’s surprise, so I don’t know the menu yet!) but one thing I knew I had to make was my favorite Berry Trifle for dessert! My kids absolutely LOVE this dessert, and it’s so nice to make it during the warmer months of the year when berries are at their best. I love that this trifle is so simple to make, and looks way more impressive than it is! It would also make a lovely contribution to a brunch or gathering that you’re attending this Mother’s Day. Let me know if you make this, and how you like it!
