Romanticizing breakfast with lingering gifts that I spoiled myself with. This fading yet fabulous bouquet of flowers from Lore Floral was a Mother’s Day dream. It was a gorgeous day to stroll Washington Park and I picked them up at the market there while taking breaks during my daughter’s ballet recitals. The croissants, from The French Rendezvous. An incognito gem with intoxicating aromas of buttery goodness. Fresh fruit is a staple in my home. I try to keep melon cubed and ready to toss with fresh berries to make my belly feel good. Center cut bacon because I’m a hog farmer’s granddaughter. My Lemon Scented Eggs I eat almost daily and love to zhoosh with avocado, cucumber, olive oil and a splash of lemon. A tall glass of iced water of course. Mango ceylon tea and a glowing candle because it’s chilly today and I need something warm lit with a little hope.
