Mother’s Day is such a special day for us. It’s the perfect day to feel spoiled, loved, appreciated and so blessed. I have told my kids that I would love to plant a vegetable garden with them. And they each get to pick out one fruit and one vegetable that they will help me grow. I am so excited the boys are old enough to understand how important it is to take care of a garden. They realize they can get food from it if they take care of it. So I am very excited for this Sunday. I just hope the weather cooperates with us.
Another tradition I love about Mother’s Day is our family photos. We get showered, dressed, color coordinate outfits and I get amazing pictures with my boys. I have trained John to take candid photos, not just posed photos, so he is getting better and better every year! Don’t get me wrong, I love the posed pictures, but I also love the candid snapshots, the bloopers, funny faces, tongues sticking out, sweet kisses on my cheek, hugs and everything in between.
I hope you all have something special planned for Mother’s Day. As for my mom, we usually pick out a really pretty bouquet of flowers and deliver them to her if we don’t have immediate plans with my parents, so we will see what the day brings and how long our gardening activity takes. But seeing my mom is one of the best things on Mother’s Day, especially now that I am a mom myself. The day just means so much more, and I love celebrating motherhood with my mom. My grandma has also been living with my parents for a couple years, so to get to celebrate my grandma/the boys’ great-grandma/”Gaga” is super important to us all.
Today, I have made a round up of my favorite Mother’s Day finds on Amazon. So if you like any of these ideas, you still have time to shop, because it’s only Tuesday! Any handmade items will probably take a little longer to receive, but for the most part, my picks are all Amazon Prime and 2 day shipping available.
You can also shop this gift guide and all my other favorites via my Amazon Storefront HERE.
When I pick gift ideas for these seasonal gift guides, I think of myself, my mom, my sister, my friends who are moms, and think about if they would like these gifts for themselves. If they are something I would buy for my own mom. If it’s something I would love to receive myself. These aren’t just random picks, I promise! A lot of thought and effort go into making these gift guides. I know you will love these gift ideas, and I hope you all get so spoiled this weekend by your husbands and kiddos! If you missed my post a few days back, I also hand picked my favorite gifts for Mother’s Day that are handmade and support small business on Etsy. You can see THAT post HERE.
