I was recently watching an episode of Nigella’s Kitchen where Nigella was making a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake, a calorie-laden recipe which is quite true to her kitsch junkie style, not to mention that she made the whole thing whilst wearing a black satin nightrobe, all the while miraculously managing to avoid spilling anything on herself.

As a mother to two young toddlers, my idea of the perfect Mother’s Day would start with a few extra hours in bed, preceded, of course, by an uninterrupted full night of sleep the evening before 😉 Upon waking up peacefully to a room filled with natural light, as opposed to the noisy demands of a grumpy child who desperately needs her Hello Kitty doll at 4 am (which, by the way, was sitting on said child’s pillow), I think breakfast in bed would be my idea of heaven.
