Hot Buns and Mother’s Day Wishes

April 29, 2016 by Samantha 13 Comments

Mother’s Day is next weekend, cue anxiety ridden thoughts about making it “the perfect day” for mom. But wait. What if we all took a deep breath and made it special but without all the expenses, frustrations, disappointments? What if you cracked a few eggs into dinner rolls and made this stunning mouth-watering dish for mom? Line up some colourful fruit or vegetables with these Baked Eggs in Rolls and mom’s got breakfast made. You don’t have to stir a thing. It’s simple yet visually and deliciously pleasing.

I was having coffee with a mom-friend the other day. This friend is special although we don’t chat or see each very often. We have multiple connections, the primary one being that we both have 3 girls which is a crazy wonderful and intense ride (read: DRAMA). Mostly though, I feel connected to her as we both want to be the best moms we can while still maintaining ourselves as individuals. To not lose ourselves in motherhood. Hopefully, I’m not taking our discussion out of turn and twisting her words. How do you do that as a mom? A day is broken down into time periods where certain things need to happen, such as meals, naps, doctor’s appointments, etc. And the rest is carved out into time slots where we *might* be able into fit in time for ourselves. What do you do with that 5-60 minute period? Do you do the copious amounts of laundry that comes with kids? The dishes piled high in the sink? Prep dinner because you know when toddler and baby bedtime rolls around you certainly won’t have the energy to do it?

I don’t have an answer unfortunately. What I do know is that these periods of time are in flux for me. I’ve made a promise to myself to fully recover from my knee injury that occurred when I was pregnant with L and to get fit again, which is taking up a large chunk of my “spare” time. I have this lovely little blog where I get the opportunity to express myself creatively and connect with many wonderful people who have a presence in my life. The rest is a toss-up and many of the days I’m so exhausted that a nap is the only thing I accomplish.

I do want to make sure that I’m not too hard on myself. My kids are healthy, happy creatures and I want them to enjoy their childhood. To make that possible I know I need to stay true to me and live in a way that makes me the happiest as well. Taking the time to come back to motherhood feeling rejuvenated and refreshed makes me a better mom. I know that, without a doubt, however finding the balance between being here for my kids and taking some self-care is really hard to find. Sometimes making that happen is the most difficult choice in being a mom. What do you do for yourself? How do you get over the “mom-guilt” to make time for yourself? I’d love to hear what others do for personal inspiration.

Baked Eggs in Buns | My Kitchen LoveFor Mother’s Day this year I’ve asked for my first cup of coffee to be in bed and to not have to organize food that day. I’d like to do some fun baking with my twin toddlers (cookies all the way!) and go play outside. Might seem like insignificant asks, but having coffee in bed with cuddles from all 3 of my girls is the best thing I could ask for. I hope the special woman in your life, mom or not, is treated to some specialness on Mother’s Day this year.

    Carving out "me time" is so tough! There's always something that seems more important. I hope you get your coffee in bed request and to enjoy a day without having to worry about getting food on the table for everyone so that you can have a fun cookie-making day. Seems like a very reasonable request. You could be asking for a million dollar diamond necklace, after all ;)

    WOW. What a dish - and what a photo! I cannot say enough nice things about your presentation here. Now, even though I'm not a mom, I'm a full-time at-home Dad to two little boys and SO much of what you were saying really resonated. You want to give your kids the very best, but you can't neglect yourself. Nobody benefits when you do that. I love your site and your food - and I see a lot of my own interests, ideas and passions in what you do. I think many of us view food as something to really truly get excited about, and it's so rewarding to just share that passion with... well, with anyone who cares to listen! With Mother's Day coming up, I do feel a bit of extra pressure to come up with something spectacular for my wife, but honestly she'd be awfully happy with a big cuddle from the kids, just like you. And... you know... maybe some extra sleep. :)

      Thanks Sean; I'm sure most parents or even busy people in general can resonate with my post. It's rough fitting in time for yourself. I know your wife will appreciate anything you do (and make!) for her. And extra sleep sounds kind of amazing ;)

    Love these adorable little buns, and the fact that they're so easy to make it a very nice bonus. Fingers crossed your mothers' day wishes all come to pass... every mother I know busts her butt for her kids, and totally deserves that little bit of "me" time for a change, even if it's just a cuddles and a cup of coffee in bed.

    Samantha, your photos are beyond stunning. The little layout you did on the baking sheet looks straight out of a magazine! Though my mom and I live in two different cities, I might have to send this recipe off to my dad to 'suggest' he make it for her on my behalf. ;) Can I also say that you're a superwoman?! Three daughters, and twins to boot? That's amazing. Happy early Mother's Day to you! :) May you enjoy your coffee in bed and no cooking that day. ;)
