Tomorrow, VWC celebrate's the Queen Bees (mothers) with a Queen Bee's Brunch for Moms and kidlets. The men and young men of VWC have graciously offered to cook & serve this momentous event. Stay tuned as I "intend" to post pics ASAP after the event.
ARGH....I must get better about my URGENT and IMPORTANT lists in my life. I am so guilty of allowing myself to get stay caught up in the "tyranny of the urgent."
The Urgent list is usually someone else's bidding for my time. You know them--Please drop everything you're currently doing and get to work solving my problem--or helping me--or can you do this for me?...RANT over.
The Important list is supposed to be MY MOST important things in life: family, house, short-term goals, long-term goals, hobbies, life dreams and bucket lists, etc.
I will improve! With God's great help, I surely will!
But, I digress...
The QBB--will no doubt go down in the history books as a super-fun event at VWC. We are planning a pancake bar with toppings, a yogurt parfait bar with toppings, and a scrambled egg bar with toppings. At each place, there will be a specially-ordered donut with either blue or yellow sprinkles.
(The back story--we'd intended to make blueberry and peach muffins. But, as the team shopped last evening, we decided--AHHHH--that's just too much money and time! Kids will like donuts better anyway! So, this morning, one of the problem-solvers called our illustrious donut shop entitled TURTLES. Problem solved--we have 84 donuts on order for 8 am tomorrow morning!)
We have center pieces with the saying, "My mom's the BEE's KNEES!" along with metal art bees and yellow, black, royal blue table covers. oh and yes...bit-o-honey candies!!

My dear Mom and I have invited any and everyone at VWC who didn't have kids to bring or didn't have a mom to come with her. Our table will be full of wonderful ladies!
Also--shhhh....I will be surprising my Dear Mom with a gorgeous purple orchid corsage. I thought she'd enjoy wearing it both to the QBB and to church on Mother's Day Sunday!

My friend over at Kelley Highway bought this planter for me several years ago!
I just stuck the asparagus in it for a fast pic |
One last thing...Sunday is our monthly bake sale for Missions. This month, I am intending to bake muffins in large, stand-on-their-own cups. I will be folding a delicious mix of mixed berries into the muffin mix. Along with sprinkling some decorator's sugar crystals on top!
My other plan is to try some English Muffin bread. I have already purchased the rapid rise yeast and the bread flour for that very purpose!
Enjoy your Mother's Day wherever you might be!
Drink a LATTE coffee...or iced coffee!
:) Hugs!
