Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is almost here. If you are like me, when my hubs and kids ask if there’s anything I want... I can never think of anything. So I’ve compiled an inspiration list. Most mommas can find one thing on the list that they love and could really use!

Let me preface this list by saying this. My favorite gifts for me are pampering ‘me-time’ things. A pedicure or facial.... a blow-out or girls night. These are things I don’t always have time for or childcare. So, to me they are a two fold gift...time & activity.

On this list I have things all over the price range map. A robotic vacuum to statement earrings from Amazon. Really, something for every price range!

Wine of the month club! Last year for my birthday, my husband got this for me. I enjoyed it so much. It was a great way to try wines I wouldn’t ordinarily buy. In the gift he gave me, I got a bottle of white and red every month for 6 months. I looked forward to the delivery every month. Inside the box was information on each wine as well as a pairings recipe card. I am definitely not an expert on wine, but really enjoyed trying new things and expanding my tastes.



We do a good bit of entertaining, and I also love getting new and functional serving wear.  The piece highlighted is from the Hearth & Hand collection at Target and has a very friendly price point. It would be perfect for different kinds of dips, olives & pickles or nuts and snack mix.


Shark Robotic vacuum. I became familiar with this at my moms house last month. Here works great. What a treat to pick things up start the vacuum and then move on to the next chore. I would love to have one. We have prominent thresholds in our house, so I’m not sure it would work... but a busy mom can dream!

Simple champagne flutes. I never had a need for these until recently. When we moved into this neighborhood all my friends drink Prosecco. So of course I had to buy some to have on hand when we are hosting get togethers. This four pack from Target are so perfect. They are stemless and have good thickness and weight to them, not flimsy at all. That’s a must have in my book. The price point is phenomenal. Pair with a nice bottle of Prosecco and mom will feel like a Queen!



Workout gear. As far as I’m concerned, momma can never have too many leggings. I love the light springy colors of these. I’d love to branch out away from my typical dark gray and black. These outfits are both from old navy. I love the quality of their Active line. The price point is perfect too. I have several of their pieces and can’t recommend them enough!



Casual athleisure shoes. If you are a busy mom like me, the outfits above are not just for yoga class! So a cute pair of shoes to run errands and haul kids around is a must. I love the casual look of these new balance. They would also pair great with jeans or shorts!

Windowsill Herb Garden. I love this for a kitchen window. What a perfect gift for a momma with a green thumb or someone who loves to cook with fresh ingredients. How I wish I had a window suitable for this amazing little treasure. This also screams for a grandma or nana gift! I know both my mother in law on mom would love this!

If the mama in your life doesn’t have a green thumb, then maybe this faux plant from target is the ticket. This would be a great addition to any bathroom or hallway that needs a little pick me up.

Straw Clutch. OMG! How cute is this? Stick a Starbucks gift card inside, and I guarantee mom will be thrilled.  This clutch is so cute and perfect for summer. It will literally match everything!

Feather Statement Earrings. I found these beauties on Amazon. There are a bunch of different colors. Perfect for any of your summer outfits. These would be perfect for every event from brunch to vacation!

Tory Burch Miller Sandals. I have been crushing on these forever... but I haven’t done it. I don’t think these need much in the way of explanation, but they are definitely an everyday wear kinda of piece. Beach to Brunch. Dance recitals to dinner date.

I hope this inspired you to make the momma in your life feel special this next week and tell her you love her everyday.  If you are the momma...copy and past and send this post to your person to give them hints on what you might want to me spoiled with.  I'll be high lighting a bunch of these items on my IG stories next week leading up to Mother's Day!

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence.  Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup is an absolute classic.   Homemade tomato soup is  delicious and so easy, it also happens to be one of my family’s favorites. It’s easy to make on the stove top. A good heavy bottom pot, wooden spoon & immersion blender or regular blender. Ingredients: 1 medium onion 3-4 stalks of celery 6-7 carrots 1-2 tablespoons of butter Salt Pepper 1 tsp dried parsley 1 tsp dried basil 2 large cans or tomatoes  1 carton on chicken stock 1/2 cup Parmesan  Milk    or half & half  In a large pot, melt butter on medium high heat. Add large chunks of onion. Let get translucent or just a little browned. Then add celery and carrots. Large chunks is fin because this whole soup will get blended down. Season throughout cooking process. Stir regularly.  As veggies begin to soften add tomatoes. Stir well, put lid on and lower to medium/low heat. Let come to a boil stirring occasionally to avoid scalding...

Valentines Snack Mix

This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class.  I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn.  I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl. Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package.  I dyed mine pink for the occasion.  Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up! Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels.  Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred t...
