Did you know that the time between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is designated as National Family Month? It’s true! From May 9^th until June 20th, families across the country will be sharing some quality time and celebrating their “togetherness.”

Because National Family Month starts on Mother’s Day, here are a few ideas from Bigelow Tea for making Mom feel special this year!

Vanilla & Cinnamon Baked Challah French Toast from Bigelow Tea

Since relaxation is usually a rarity for Mom, why not treat her to breakfast in bed? Whether scrambled eggs or something more elaborate like our Vanilla & Cinnamon Baked Challah French Toast, a delicious pot of tea will be an absolute must. From Constant Comment to Cozy Chamomile to Green Tea, a warm cup of tea is a delicious and soothing addition to a Mother’s Day breakfast. To make this a truly special breakfast in bed, you might use fancy plates or utensils, place flowers on the tray and add a few “love notes” from the family. If there are young children in the house, homemade crafts are always a hit.

And if you’re looking for gifts, Bigelow Tea also has great suggestions: consider My Mother Loved Tea, a book about Bigelow Tea’s favorite mother, Ruth Campbell Bigelow. It’s a mother’s story for the ages.  Or, you can make mom’s tea-drinking a bit more special by giving her our polka-dotted “Mom” mug and accompanying tea bag holder. Too cute!
