Mother's Day

Happy Monday!

Mother’s Day is around the corner and even though I am a believer that most of us probably have enough, no one deserves more acknowledgment than mothers. It’s time to send the card, flowers, or order the gifts. I always tell my kids I don’t want anything, which is true, but the times they have joined forces to make me breakfast or brunch were the best. Another “gift” is allowing me to choose a family activity for the morning and no complaining please.  I think I will have two of the three kiddos home this year, so plus Hubs and me makes a pickleball game. Surprise!  Here are some other delightful items that I love or are on my radar:

L/Uniform Tote - I get so many compliments on this tote and it fits a ton of stuff, plus fits under the seat in front on a plane.  It only has one interior pocket which I use for my phone and kindle.  But I am a pouch gal and keep all my stuff in zippered pouches, so that suits me just fine.

Zwilling Personal Blender - what took me so long to get a personal blender? I use this all the time now for single-serve smoothies, small quantities of dressings and dips, blended oats and more.

Staub 3-pc ceramic bakeware set - I use this set regularly, especially for entertaining. All the pieces are chic enough to use for serving, and they’re good quality and don’t chip.  This set is part of a Staub Mother’s Day sale which I promoted on IG as a sponsored post.  Keep in mind, I only do sponsorships with brands and products I use personally and absolutely love.

Trelle Racket Bag - I want this for Mother’s Day!  It’s a cute bag for all my pickle gear.

New Balance Sneakers  - my favorite sneakers ever.  They are so comfortable and when I travel, they can double up as workout sneakers and walk-around-town sneakers.

Funny T-shirt - This company has a bunch of cheeky t-shirts.  I especially like this one, “I am silently correcting your grammar.”

SiO Silicone Wrinkle Patches - a couple of my friends who haven’t done injections are liking these silicone patches.  I’m ordering some to try for softening my fine lines. Why not?

Aloha pouches - My girlfriend gave me this waterproof pouch a few years ago and I wasn’t immediately blown away, but I soon became obsessed. It is durable, doesn’t stain and can withstand leaks and more.

Plants - We give my mother-in-law a new rose bush or plant for her garden every year for Mother’s Day and she loves it!

Storyworth is a project.  It is a way for a loved one to write about memories and stories and create a keepsake book.  You provide questions and the recipient, the subject of the book, writes the answers.  It is recommended that the recipient answers one question a week and then after a year, submits the content to Storyworth to turn it into a book.

Gift certificates for beauty services are never wrong! Mani/pedis, facials, foot massages, body massages….no one was ever disappointed to receive one of these!

What is the best Mother’s Day gift you ever received?
