What do you have planned for Mother's Day ? As a mom myself, I can tell you that a lovingly prepared brunch trumps over expensive gifts any day! So I've collected some really easy to make, totally delicious (and super pretty too) brunch recipes that I know any mom will ♥
Hello and Happy New Year 2012! This is my first post of 2012 here at Bird's Party . I (Haniela) know we are only in the middle of January but my head is spinning with new exciting ideas for this year - I'm thinking Mother's Day, Summer, and even Fall. I can't wait to share some of my new recipes and baking tips with you as I hope stop by here more frequently. I promise! Valentine's Day is around the corner and I wanted share with Bird's Party readers a really yummy treat you can make for your friends, dear ones, children or for yourself. I'm a giver so I gave some to my friend's kids and to my Zumba instructor for her kids.

Have you seen these amazing, trendy cream tarts in shapes of numbers and letters, taking over Instagram and Pinterest ? Well, I personally like to call them "cookie cakes" instead because, well, they look like layered cake to me! They're basically two giant sugar cookies sandwiched together with some sort of frosting in the middle, and decorated on top with tons (and I mean tons) of candy, fruit, macarons, chocolate, edible flowers...you're only limited to your imagination when it comes to the decor of these cookie cakes!
Earl Grey Tea Bag Cookies Recipe
If you love Earl Grey tea as much as I do, then you'll LOVE today's post! ☕🍪 My daughter and I made these Earl Grey cookies for our tea party last week , but I'm thinking this is going to become a regular treat in our house! These Earl Grey flavored cookies are shaped like a teabag and dipped in melted chocolate (YUM!), so I'm thinking they'd be perfect also for a garden party, baby or bridal shower brunch too.

DIY Boho Tablescape Decor
Hello friends! I've been taking some time off to work on some cool new content for the blog, so please excuse my short absence. To kick the season off, I've styled a simple and fresh tablespace inspired by all things boho and with a modern Scandinavian vibe. I think this style is perfectly suited to a spring dinner party, brunch or a mother's day celebration at home!
Did you see the floral Easter brunch table I shared last week? Well, these cute faux grass place-mats were also a DIY job. I love to use materials or re-purpose fabrics I already have at home, and with these grass place-mats I did just that! It's a simple, quick and easy DIY and perfect for Easter brunch table for also for any spring celebration or even Mother's Day.
