I also wanted this Grand Marnier Coffee Cocktail.

I adore Grand Marnier all by its lonesome, but it is fabulous in coffee. That hint of orange and brandy…yum.

My mother is long gone, but I’m sending this song out to her because somehow I know she will be listening.

“So I kissed her today
I think they said it would be A-Okay
I probably would’ve done it anyway
Right now I’m just gonna seize the day

Because a Mother’s love flows so naturally
And a Mother’s love comes unconditionally

So strong and true
I’m speechless just a thinking of you
And my eyes fill up with tears
The more I search and guess the more I fear

But a Mother’s love flows so naturally
And a Mother’s love it always comes for free

So I seen her smile today
So much heart she’s so brave
I heard her laughter cry out loud
I’ll do my best to make Mama proud

And a Mother’s love flows so naturally
And a Mother’s love comes unconditionally

Because a Mother’s love flows so naturally
Oh and a Mother’s love it always comes for free”

Check out Black & Blue Morning on Facebook and Bandcamp, where you can name your price to get their music.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there and a belated wish to the UK/European mums who celebrated back in March. xx

Cheers!
