this instructable will show you how to make your mother feel really special on mother's day!
we have two sections to this instructable, one from the "out-of-the-house child" and one from the "in-the-house child"

Step 1: The Card (in-home or Out-of-home Children)

we will start off by making an inexpensive but meaningful gift.

everyone gets cards for special occasions, but how many of those cards are hand-made?
moms love to get gifts and relaxation but it will melt their heart when you take the time to make a card for them yourself instead of just going and buying one.

Step 2: Supplies

paper (something stiffer)
scissors
pen or pencil
ruler
envelope

Step 3: The Making

first measure the envelope and cut the paper down to size to fit in it when you fold it in half.
now you can decorate the inside and outside as you want, write something she will keep forever.
now fold it up and put it in the envelope and label it Mom (obviously) make it as simple or fancy as you think appropriate!

and the first step is completed!

Step 4: The Breakfast in Bed (child-at-home)

this part is about making her a classic.

i will show you how to make french toast but you can do anything you like!

Step 5: Ingredients and Instructions

Plain white bread is traditional, but you can also try using a braided bread (challah), croissants, whole-wheat and rye bread for French toast, slice thick.

The following ingredients are needed to make this "instructa-recipe":

2/3 cup of whole milk

4 large eggs

2 Tablespoons of sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

1/4 teaspoon of salt

Using a shallow bowl whisk them together (or blend together with a fork).

The egg mixture should look a little bit like this before you start dipping the bread (picture 5)

dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture just before you add the bread to the fry pan, or if you don't want to get your hands dirty, you can ladle it on. (pic. 6)

both sides should be nicely covered, the more sauce the fluffier it will be

Melt 1/2 Tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add one or two slices of marinaded bread to the pan, don't let them touch or they may stick together.

pan fry the bread until it is golden brown and then flip it Let the other side cook until golden brown as well (pic. 7)

apply powdered sugar and/or maple syrup.

serve with fruit salad and a glass of orange juice or coffee
