Once I became a mother, I understood the difficult journey and work that goes into each day raising children. This Mother's Day, I want to show my love and appreciation for all mothers, grandmothers, and those who basically raised us. 

Here are some fun and inexpesnive ways to celebrate your mother this weekend, or show yourself some love and attention with self-care. It's your day to enjoy some rest and relaxation. We love you!

  1. Make a Mother's Day card
  2. Sunday brunch at her favorite cafe
  3. Hand pick some wildflowers
  4. Let her sleep in
  5. Hire a cleaning service
  6. Custom embroidery, homemade gift, or craft lesson 
  7. Gift certificate for the spa (or just an hour alone to take a hot bath)

  9. Family Zoom meeting
  10. Create a photobook of favorite memories
  11. Gift her a good book and a quiet place to read
