Good Morning everyone!  I hope you’ve been enjoying the May flowers that those April showers brought us.  I have really enjoyed gardening and working in the yard again this spring!  I’ve pruned our rose bushes and planted some gladiolus bulbs, a lilac bush, and a bleeding heart in our front yard so far and I still have some trimming to do on our bushes and trees.

Celebrating our Mothers for Mother’s Day

For some reason, I always associate flowers and spring with Mother’s Day.  Maybe it’s because we used to pick flowers from the yard and give them as gifts to our mothers when we were little?  Giving flowers just goes hand-in-hand with giving to my mother in my mind.  But I am always looking for fun, unique gifts that I can give to my mom for Mother’s Day so this year I decided to do a little research and find some great Mother’s Day gift ideas.  And of course, I have to share my list of awesome Mother’s Day gift ideas with you all so you can be inspired this year as well!  Some of these ideas are actual gifts but others are fun activities you can do with your mom to treat them and remind them just how special they are to us.  I hope you enjoy this list and find inspiration for your mom this Mother’s Day!

30 Ways to Celebrate your Mom this Mother’s Day

Gift Ideas-

• Buy her favorite tree or flower and plant it in the yard so she can enjoy it for years to come!
• Pick up a favorite book or a new book she’s wanted.
• Buy a candle of her favorite scent.
• Send a vase of her favorite flowers with a special note.
• Chip in with other family members and treat your mom to an extravagant gift. Find something that she’s always wanted but won’t buy herself!
• Purchase a piece of jewelry with her birthstone in it. Or you can take it a step farther and get the birthstones for each of her children, and you can even include the grandchildren.
• If your mom enjoys making crafts you can stock her up with craft supplies – or even trick out her craft room with organization ideas!
• Pick up a new mug (or personalize one yourself) and treat her to her favorite coffee or tea.
• Buy her that new kitchen gadget that she’s wanted but won’t splurge on herself.
