Mother’s Day Brunch in the Queen City


Forget burnt toast in bed, bring me Eggs Benedict and a mimosa(s)!
Where can you go to nosh like a Queen in Charlotte?

So glad you asked,

Cafe Monte

I can’t even talk about Cafe Monte without drooling. The Eggs Benedict are life altering. Nothing can describe the creamy, buttery sauce over the perfectly poached egg. Must try. Must.

Like Taking Candy from a Baby . . .

Ever tried taking candy from a baby? I have and own the mental scars to prove it. Lollipops keep my 17 month old twins quiet.

Yes, I give my 17 month old twins lollipops.

Yes, I know it is ridiculous.

Yes, I know its bad for their teeth.

It keeps them calm for 5 entire minutes . . . so stop judging.

I blame Lululemon….

My butt is sore, I blame Lulu Lemon. At the moment, I blame Lululemon for everything.

I pee more, I blame Lululemon.

I have a physical addiction, I blame Lululemon.

I have poor hygiene, I blame Lululemon.

I need marriage counseling, I blame Lululemon.

Confused? Allow me to break this down . . .

I’m bored

When I was a child, my mom would answer my cries of boredom with one simple phrase, “Boredom is a luxury.” Damn straight it is. I haven’t been bored since 2006. I want to be bored. I long to be bored. I am begging to be bored.

I want to have no plans for the day. I want to have nothing to do. I want to use the bathroom in peace. (Okay, that last request has nothing to do with boredom, but still, I’d like to throw it out there.)
