Pull Off the Best Brunch Ever

Get the kids involved assembling yogurt, granola and fruit parfaits to keep brunch delicious and easy, and make sure to take care of the extras, like setting the table with bunches of fresh tulips, chilling her favorite rosé and clearing the dishes. It’s the thought that counts most here, and she’ll appreciate your thoughtful touches.
