Hey Friends, hope you are having a happy Tuesday!! :) Mother's Day is this weekend and I am really looking forward to having the opportunity to celebrate it this year with my own mom! She is coming into town on Saturday and Nic is planning to spend some quality time with Liam while we have a girls afternoon just the two of us to go shopping together! I can't wait! This Mother's Day feels even more special knowing that I am celebrating it as a mom of TWO. Knowing this little girl is joining our family soon is all I could really ask for! I have already been spoiled with a couple of shopping trips for a few maternity clothes that I have been needing so I am hoping Nic and Liam keep their promise of just spending time with me on Mother's Day without gifts. We do however have our own moms to spoil so I've rounded up a few ideas if you are in need of a last minute gift idea for Sunday ...
As moms, we tend to have little hands around all the time that easily break or damage anything in sight (haha!) so I tend to always buy pretty cheap sunglasses because they seem to never last me more than one season (if that) but I think every mom should make an exception for these aviators from Diff Eyewear! They are seriously stunning for summer!
Last Mother's Day Liam gave me this beautiful rose gold bar necklace with his name engraved in it and it one of my most cherished and favorite pieces of jewelry. This would perfect for grandma with all of her grand kids names on it too!
My favorite flower to both give and receive are tulips! I love this idea of wrapping the bouquet in a beautiful new dish towel tied up with twine and plan on doing this for our moms this year.
If you haven't heard of Chatbooks you need to stop what you are doing right this very minute and pop over to their website! They are essentially $8-$14 books that you can create from your Instagram account, Facebook, phone, or computer pictures. We have an entire collection from all the years we've been married that have so many special pictures and memories in them. You can make custom ones as well which have become a tradition for our moms the last few years since they became grandmas of all of the pictures I've taken with them and Liam.
If you have a nursing or pregnant momma in your life these leggings are a lifesaver!
I always dreamt of having a little girl and still can't believe my dream will be coming true but how sweet are these mom and mini goldie bracelets! I'm seriously dying!! They would be so perfect for a mom and baby daughter and are secretly on my future wish list after she is born.
While I know this day is special for many, I also know that for another majority it is a hard day to face. It may serve as a reminder of a child who you've lost, a child you haven't had the opportunity to conceive, a distance that has been created between you and your own mom, or maybe a mother in your life who has passed away. I want you to know that my heart goes out to you as someone who has experienced a form of pain that a woman can face. You are not alone and you are so loved and cherished on this day and every other day! XO
