I know that a lot of families like to go out to eat for brunch on Mother's Day. I have to tell you, though - especially being the mom of two young and active kiddos, who I know would rather not sit through brunch or dinner at a formal restaurant - I'd prefer to share a home-cooked meal and spend the day relaxing together in our backyard.

So I scoped out some of the Mother's Day Menus prepared by our Guides here at About.com, and one that absolutely jumped out at me is this: An Easy Mother's Day Menu for the Culinary Challenged. Perfect! I'd love to be sipping a mimosa at about this time on Sunday morning, while savoring the aroma of an asparagus and bacon frittata as it finishes baking in the oven.

That sounds heavenly!
