Mom. Because of her… I am the women of today. She is my confidant, my best friend and the first person I always call in the morning. Mr. N and I left to the countryside on friday evening so we had a pre-mother’s day celebration during the day. I surprised my mom with some finger foods and a glass of champagne and spent some great mother-daughter quality time. We nibbled on canapés with paté that I bought from Paris, parmesan cheese and strawberries.  I also grilled asparagus with bacon that was deliciously salty with a glass of rosé bubbly. Then we went to mattolaituri for a glass of wine and some tea as it was quite chilly that day. We sat wrapped around in quilts and chatted away while watching the foggy sea… It was beautiful and time flew past too quickly. One day I only hope to be as good of a mother as she is, who has always placed her children first and given my brother and I wonderful memorable experiences. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mom’s out there. xxx
