Mother’s Day Coming Soon

Mother’s Day is the second Sunday in May which is around the corner. I don’t know where you are in the midst of all this COVID stay at home craziness, but you for sure deserve some self nurturing. Let’s be real- moms deserve a lot extra nurturing this year since they have been on house arrest with the very reason why they became a mom (I say this with love). And I really wanted to share some favorites that might be adored by her, by you, as they were loved by me. Girl, treat yourself (or tell someone).

LTP (LATE TO THE PARTY)

Hairdryer brush. I am just discovering it but am loving it! Better late than never. I bought it. I tried it. I love it! I don’t like trying to blow-dry my own hair with a round brush but love the look of it. This for me was such a great tool. So so happy that I did it! (the one I bought is Revlon and I got it on Amazon).

Currently Crushing on…

Artis make up brush. I bought the elite oval 7, used it to apply my makeup. Sincerely, I felt like the difference it made with making my pores smaller and making my skin look smoother was amazing. I won’t have a ton of beauty tips. Just know when I try something and it makes it better- I AM SHOUTING IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS.

Simple and Sweet

Little glass jars with little flowers.  I love this idea. I had a friend (link to her blog below) bring over this little glass jar with several flowers and it sat so pretty on my counter . I couldn’t help but adore it every time I saw it. You can use any little glass jars and have the kids find wild flowers or flowers from your own garden. Cut and voila! I think because they are petite they are just so sweet. Of course adding it to a tray for breakfast in bed would be the way to go! (hint, hint).

With Love From The Kitchen

Chrissy Teigen banana bread. I love all things Chrissy Teigen. But when a friend brought over Chrissy Teigen (Uncle Mike’s) banana bread we all went crazy! It was bomb-diggity. Chrissy Teigen has shared this recipe and also has it in her her cookbook but for now the recipe is in the link down below.

A Cup of Humor

Umm, because life happens.

Be creative, be fun, be thoughtful, be whatever you can be

…just be from the heart. Leave grateful notes around the house. Send her a tiktok video. Pull up an online dance lesson and try it as a couple or as mom and son/daughter, etc. Play her favorite card or board game. Write a sweet message on a napkin and use it for the place setting. What about each person at the dinner table have three things we are grateful to share before dinner. What about a picnic, pizza and Prosecco (living room picnics have been some of my favorites). Send her a video telling her how much you love her. Do you have a pic of you and her when you yourself were little (put that in the video she would love that). The ideas are endless.

Just make it- about her. Something that says- she matters. Because moms would move heaven and earth and that’s the least we can do is to let her know- we know.
