Mother’s Day Breakfast In Bed Game Plan

The day before

Check the kitchen and make a grocery list of what you need. Some of the ingredients may already be the kitchen. Make sure you have cooking supplies needed like a heart cookie cutter and 6-cup muffin pan. If you don’t have a heart cutter, a paring knife can be used to freeform the heart cutout.
