MY FIRST MOTHER'S DAY

My first Mother’s Day was beautiful. For me, it really started on Saturday when we went over to my in-laws’ house for dinner and I heard my own mama’s voice, then turn around to see that she had flown in from Michigan to spend my first Mother’s Day with me! Talk about being surprised!

On Sunday we had an amazing brunch which was followed by a big ole plate of desserts-I’m seriously obsessed with dessert y’all- overlooking the river and then walked around our cute little town and made it down to the ocean to watch the waves break for a bit.

 

There is nothing else in the world like being a mama. It is overwhelming, terrifying, rewarding, selfless, and so completely wonderful. I couldn’t feel more blessed to be the one that gets to be this beautiful baby’s mama!

I hope you had a fantastic Mother’s Day!

I would love to hear how you were honored, or how you honored your mama, on this special day!

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

My husband and I usually have a strict no gift-giving policy, as we typically choose to gift time to spend together doing things we may not normally be able to do. But, we decided for our first mother’s/father’s days we would give a little something to commemorate the day!

So I put together this little gift guide of not-so-expensive items that would be perfect to gift the mamas in your life or accidentally leave up on your internet browser for your spouse to find! 

I fell in love with the idea of stacking eternity style birthstone bands with my wedding rings when I saw it on Pinterest. My in-laws actually gifted me this for Christmas. Yes, before Hadley was here. Yes, we based her birthstone purely on her “due date.” What can I say, we’re risk-takers over here! The customizable charm is on my wishlist this time- hopefully Hubby is reading this!

Tommy loves that family rules sign from Fixer Upper and I have had my eye on this one. We are beginning to update our entryway, breakfast nook, and hallway. One of these signs will be making its way into our home. Obviously there’s only one sensible way of deciding; Rock-Paper-Scissors.

Having a baby now makes gift-giving to your own mama a piece of cake. What grandmama doesn’t want handmade artwork from her little grandnuggets?! Hadley will be gifting both of her grandmamas these easy, but oh-so-adorable, footprint plates!

Can’t end this without including pictures of the sweet babe that made me a mama! I love you more than I ever thought possible, Roo!

What is your gift-giving go-to?
