Mother’s Day Original Gift Idea

Mother’s Day Gift Idea – Handprint Tote Bags

In less than two weeks is Mother’s Day and I am trying to get ahead of the game by getting everything made now. Even though I think all moms should be celebrated daily, I enjoy giving a little extra on Mother’s Day. The most popular gifts have always been those that are homemade, one-of-a-kind, and are made with the help of my little ones.

Mother's Day Gift Idea - Handprint Tote Bags
It never fails, grandparents always adore artwork that their grandchildren make (as well as parents). This year I decided to take something we have done before, and change it up a little.

Over the past years, we have made handprint flowers, footprint butterflies, and even did a sun project. We have always created the artwork on (or with) paper. This year, I wanted to do more. Continue reading

Original gift for Mother’s Day

If you could choose a original gift for Mother’s Day, what would it be?



What about a clean house?

According to the OmniBus Scotch-Brite Survey in April 2014, “seventy-five percent (75%) of moms would prefer a clean home on Mother’s Day to being served breakfast in bed.  In addition, sixty percent (60%) of moms would most prefer a clean house over other gift options like candy, flowers and a card.”

As a mom who cleans and picks up after little boys every day, I have to say it would be ah-mazing to have someone else take over the reigns for a day. Of course, I’m lucky that my husband is a huge help around the house and my kids are at the age where they like to clean too. But since I’m a mom, I take it upon myself to tackle the majority of our household cleaning. Continue

Baby Shower Questions and Answers

Baby Shower Questions and Answers :
  • Can immediate family members host a baby shower?
  • Traditionally, a family member should not host a shower for a daughter, sister or other close relative. However, when good friends don't offer to step in, an immediate member of the family can get by with hosting a small (or large) gathering, in honor of the mother, and to celebrate the upcoming birth.
  • How far in advance should baby shower invitations be sent out?
  • Invitations should be sent anywhere from four to six weeks in advance. Summer is a busy travel time and vacations are often planned months ahead. Be prepared to see more RSVP declines during the summertime. Sending out the invitation sooner rather than later gives the recipients the opportunity to mark their calendar and, when possible, make plans around the special day.
  • Should the host(s) include the mom-to-be in the planning of the shower?
  • It's important to ask how involved she would like to be in the process. Some future mothers want to pick out their own invitations, while others may be comfortable with being totally surprised. Ask about details, such as if the mother-to-be would like party games, a particular theme or if she has a color preference. The guest of honor should compile an accurate guest list and give it to her host(s) early, allowing them to send out the invitations in a timely manner. While the expectant mother may offer some input, she should not anticipate micromanaging the event. Continue reading

Mother's Day gift ideas guide

Where would you be without your mother? For many of us when we were kids, probably in bed untucked, cowlicks sky-high and teeth unflossed.

Even as adults – with jobs, homes and maybe children of our own – we've still got Mom to remind us to give a great-aunt a birthday call and brag about our accomplishments to her Facebook friends. Mom taught you your please-and-thank-yous, but when was the last time you told your mother you were grateful for everything she's done?

We have a few ways you can show your appreciation, but first, say it with me: Thank you, Mom … - See more
