4 Things Mom Taught Me and Glorious Treats Chocolate Mousse Recipe GIVEAWAY

Since it’s Valentine’s month, I’m very excited to share an easy Chocolate Mousse recipe from Glorious Layered Desserts cookbook, plus give 2 copies away!

Have you heard of Glorious Treats? I just love both of these names … Glory, and Glorious Treats. I was a lucky girl (one of the perks of being a blogger and knowing friends all over the States) in meeting up with Glory and her mom and friend last summer in Ashland (Oregon) for lunch, and learning more about her book, Glorious Layered Desserts. I absolutely loved getting to know these sweet people, especially Glory’s mama. Since my mama is gone, I love watching a sweet mother/daughter relationship. I don’t get jealous, as it’s been close to 20 years since my mama passed away, but I savor the sweetness in the beauty and dance between a mother and daughter.

I learned so much from my mom when it comes to entertaining. Mom entertained beautifully, not perfectly. There’s a big difference. Beautiful as in, she set a pretty table, she actually used what was in her china hutch, but I do remember a few mishaps here and there. Three things mom taught me have always stuck in my head:

3 things Mom taught me:

1. Just be real. Be your true self and let your entertaining style shine through. Love people with what you’ve been given and do it the best that you know how.

2. Put doubt behind you. Put any judgment or comparing yourself to others aside. Don’t spend energy worrying about what others think, but love and embrace those in your home.

3. Entertain beautifully, not perfectly. When imperfect things happen, learn to smile, be humble, and find the beauty in the moment. Focus on the positive–for example, look at these amazing people who have come to your home to share a meal with you! People over perfect.

4. Don’t apologize. Just move on if something doesn’t turn out perfectly. Show a more authentic side of yourself by not focusing on yourself.
