It’s hard to believe that next Sunday, May 13, I’ll celebrate my first Mother’s Day. I remember this day last year so well. I had a deep longing in my heart for God to make me a mother and I was still questioning if and when that would ever happen (you can read more about our infertility journey here and here). But God is faithful, His plans for me are good, and His timing and ways are better than mine. It turns out I was already pregnant with Lively, but just didn’t know it yet. 🙂 So while this Mother’s Day will certainly hold a new meaning and set of emotions for me, I’m more-so excited for the opportunity to celebrate my mom and mother-in-law. Not only do I now understand the incredible amount of love and sacrifices they’ve made as mothers, but it’s been so fun to watch them transition into their new roles as RéRé and Mimi. I can’t wait to shower them with love and to show my appreciation for all they’ve done. Here a few ideas for gifts I’m planning on giving and a few I wouldn’t mind receiving either. 🙂
Sequin Straw Tote: A fun beach tote just in time for summer! I thought of my mom as soon as I saw this because she loves anything with a touch of bling. It’s currently 40% off with code FORYOU plus an additional 10% off with code TREAT.
Scripture Seedlings Coaster Set: I discovered this company on Instagram a few months ago and I’m obsessed! Not only are these coasters amazing for their beautiful design, but you can plant the packaging and have your own wildflower garden! How cool is that?! Perfect for the flower loving mom.
Blush Tassel Earrings: A fun statement earring in my favorite color!
Sweet Laurel Cookbook: This one is for all my fellow paleo mamas! Sweet Laurel is a trendy bakery in LA and they’ve just released this new grain-free baking book that makes eating paleo, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets a lot sweeter for home bakers. I’m dying to get my hands on this!
Caitlin Wilson Floral Zip Pouch: It’s no secret I love everything Caitlin Wilson does (I used one of her wallpaper’s in Lively’s nursery and it’s hands down my favorite thing about her room). I always have some sort of pouch in my purse to keep all my miscellaneous items organized. Love that this one is both pretty and functional.
Stripe Kitchen Towel: How pretty are these?! Just like me, my mother in law appreciates a good kitchen towel so one of these will definitely be going her way. Bonus: They’re only $2.85!
Blush Ceramic Box: The sweetest little box to store everything from bobby pins to bracelets. It comes in sizes small, medium and large or you can buy a set of three. You’ll also be giving back with this gift as each purchase empowers artisans at Chabi Chic in Morocco.
Rose Candle: I’m obsessed with all things rose scented so this is another one that’s been on my wishlist. Additionally, the jar is beautiful and could be used for storing pens, makeup brushes or even flowers once the candle has finished burning.
Deep Sleep Pillow Spray: This is totally one of those things you’d never buy for yourself but would be so nice to have. This all natural and chemical free pillow spray is a blend of lavender, vetiver and chamomile that helps to reduce anxiety and improve the overall quality of your sleep – perfect for new mamas!
Initial Pendant Necklace: I’ve had my eye on this since before Lively was born. I’d love one of these delicate necklaces to proudly wear her initial around my neck.
