My mom and I have a close, special relationship, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life. She is always smiling and laughing, and just so much fun to be around. Babygirl and I decided we needed a little girl time, so we invited ‘Noonie’ to join us for an early Mother’s Day Tea. We put on our favorite dresses, and headed to an adorable neighborhood café for a 3-course tea, fit for a princess.
I thought about hosting a tea party at home, but sometimes it’s nice to let others pamper you!
I don’t know much about tea (except sweet tea…I’m a connoisseur of that!), and there were so many to choose from, but we thought Mother’s Bouquet was pretty suitable for the occasion.
A first course of scones, sweet breads, fruit, fresh cream and jam…I’m drooling just remembering it!
Could my mom be any prettier?! Good gracious I hope I inherited her genes…because I sure didn’t get her sweet spirit.
Babygirl chose a caffeine-free cinnamon tea, and loved having her own pot and fancy cup. I’m surprised her pinkie isn’t up in this picture…she was reeeeally into the fanciness of it all!
Second course was assorted tea sandwiches and tomato soup. Which I, of course, ate with another sweet bread.
I don’t know how we did it, but we managed to finish off the third course of cupcakes and fruit.
My pretty Boden dress was just perfect for the afternoon…I love the mix of colors, and light, airy swing of the skirt.
I think it’s obvious where I got my love of wearing bright colors!
Have you taken the time to enjoy the special people in your life? What plans do you have for celebrating Mother’s Day? Have you ever totally gorged on a 3-course tea?!?

Ok a few things here….. number one the obvious I love you!!! Number two you mama is STUNNING!! Number three your baby girl is the cutest ever!! Number four you are killing that dress!!! Okay I am going to stop now before someone thinks I am a crazy stalker 😉
I love going to tea with my mom and daughters!! This was the prettiest tea of you 3 beauties! We're going to visit College Girl this weekend so I can be with both of my chicks on my day.
How fun! And your mom and you look like sisters! Gorgeous ladies!
Your mom is beautiful!
aww this is so sweet! and i love your dress! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Precious time! Great pix of you and your mom and daughter….all beautiful ladies!
Last year was the first time I hosted a tea party for all the mothers and daughters in the family. We vowed to do it every year, because it was so much fun. Mom's still in the hospital after her car wreck a couple of months ago and I just can't bring myself to host it without her.
What a special day. Oh my word…you and your mom look so much alike. Beautiful! She looks like she could be your sister (meaning she looks young, not that you look old 😉
What a fun day! Your mom is just lovely. Perhaps you can coax her to share her skin care secret because her skin is flawless.
You most definitely got your mom's genes….it's already evident! Great pics!
I love my mom too! How cute are you three?? You look like sisters!! Nothing is more precious than this.
Oh how fun! I hope to one day do this with my little girl! You definitely inherited your mother's genes–I thought that even before I read the words on your post (I always scan the pics before!) I linked up to your diy otomi today! I thought it was perfect for a Cinco de Mayo post! The link is below you are interested. Thanks again for always sharing! I love that Boden dress–their catalogue is one of my favorites to read (for me and the little one!)

Your mother is gorgeous, and you have obviously inherited her genes! I was so blessed to enjoy a wonderful Afternoon Tea with my mom, sister, aunt, daughter and niece this weekend! It was 2 1/2 glorious hours of delicious food and wonderful company.
Oh so special! I love this. That is a fun tradition in our family, too. And your mom totally looks like your sister. Hello, amazing gene pool. How you doin'
