I hope you all have had a great week, I am definitely looking forward to the weekend. I can’t believe that Mother’s Day is right around the corner. For those of you who are reading that surprised, Mother’s Day is set for Sunday May 9th this year which is just over a week away. My mom is one of the sweetest, thoughtful, genuine, loving, and generous people I’ve ever known and I consider myself so lucky to call her mom. I’m sure that many of you can agree that you have a similar opinion of your own mothers. Every year I struggle with what to get my mom and how to make her feel a little extra special on Mother’s Day specifically. Our moms truly deserve the world, even though I can’t give her that, I can make an effort to shower her with love that day. I also want to make it a point to explain that Mother’s Day definitely doesn’t have to be only about giving gifts and such. Some years, the best Mother’s Days have been days where we spend time together doing different experiences together. I also don’t think any mom is going to turn down breakfast in bed or a homemade dinner made for her.
From left to right: Pics with my momma💗 My sister and I with mom in London in front of Big Ben December 2016, Mom and I in front of Loch Ness in Scotland January 2017, Mom and I in Normandy France July 2018, and Mom at my college graduation May 2019.
I wanted to put together a few gift guides on ideas for Mother’s Day. I made several different versions so that there is something for all moms. As a reminder, these gifts would be great for any other maternal figure in your life such as grandmothers, stepmoms, godmothers, or new moms/expecting moms. I also wanted to mention, which I also talked briefly on my instagram, that I know Mother’s Day can also be a difficult day for some and if that applies to you, you will be on my heart that day.
