There are so many reasons to celebrate on Mother's Day.

I love honoring my mom for all the amazing things she does,
telling my best friends what great job they are doing and even wishing strangers Happy Mother's Day, simply because we all know what a hard job it is..
For me it is about thinking about what it is to be a good mother and the impact it can have.

But let's face it, I also love that its a day my family thinks about me
and does what I want with no (or little) complaints!

My recipe for a perfect mother's day is a casual, colorful day where
we hit my favorite spots all over town.
And of course, it is Better with Butter Chardonnay.

My recipe for a great day with my family is:

1. Stop and Smell the Flowers

We are lucky to live in the San Francisco Bay Area and stunning scenery is all around us.

One of my favorite spots is an amazing yellow mustard field in Half Moon Bay.

It's the perfect compliment for the luscious, bold JaM Cellars Butter Chardonnay.

It melts right into the landscape, just like it does in your mouth.

My family is used to me screeching to a halt,

 for any and all stunning landscapes along the roadside 

so they might as well dive right in...

because you may get a chance to eat the props!

2. Browse the Farmer's Market

It is no secret that I am a Farmer's Market addict.

I love seeing what is in season and the vendors

 are always so knowledgeable and proud of their bounty.

I could spend hours there, picking out just the right produce.

Everything is colorful, ripe and bursting with flavor,

 so of course Butter Chardonnay fits right in.

It has hints of stone fruit, tropical fruit, pear, lemon and vanilla.

It's like a Farmer's Market in a glass!

3. Go on the hunt for fun painted murals

I love a good backdrop and it is always an adventure to scour the streets

 to find colorfully painted walls.  

Art is everywhere and I find it so inspiring.

The bright, cheerfulness just makes me happy
and I love to see creative minds at work.

Everyone loves flowers on Mother's Day, right?

JaM Cellars makes Butter in the tradition of quality California wine making that really is an art.

They select the perfect juicy grapes 

when they are bursting with flavor and cold ferment them into a masterpiece.

3. Have a picture perfect meal

Since Mother's Day is my day, 

my family may have to hold that pose and appease me to get that perfect shot.

We love to great food and there are times my family can't stand the anticipation 

while I get that mouthwatering shot.

But when we are ready to eat, 

I love any pretty "spread" that includes Butter...

4. Butter at the Barn

The perfect way to end the day is a glass of wine at the rustic barn in our neighborhood.

Butter is so easy to love just like this old barn.

It's just simple, special spot to reflect on the day, and Spread the Love.
Happy Mother's Day!
