Made for Mama

They've had to wipe our butts, deal with our tantrums and make many school lunches – ah yes, the joys of motherhood. I reckon every mum deserves at least one day dedicated to them for enduring these 'joys', so when mother's day rolled around earlier in the month, Ben and I wanted to do something special. Most kids like to give their mum's a break on mother's day, whether it be helping out around the house, drumming up a slightly burnt breakfast in bed, or do something my sister Tessa specializes in – moisturizer drenched foot rubs. But since Ben and I don't live with our dear mama's anymore, we found a way to give them a break in a different way. We created a break kit. A tea break kit, to be precise.

A tea break in a jar – adorable!

Ben prepared the jars, which needed a nice coat of white spraypaint on the lids. I baked the treats – some delicious apricot and coconut cookies, courtesy of Donna Hay. Then we both made a wax seal on the lid (thanks for letting us borrow the wax gear Lauren!) and wrote on our teabag tags. Voila! A simple, inexpensive and fun way to give our ma's a tea break. And yes, they loved 'em!
