Love the idea of this book as a gift for any female in your life. Joy shares wise words from powerful women along with her own beautiful watercolor illustrations. A lovely and thoughtful gift.
 

That's What She Said

///
 

The cutest jammies. And they're from Target so you know they're affordable!
 

Lemon Print Pajama Set

///
 

I have two of these cuffs and wear them frequently! The saying on this one is perfect for mom.
 

She Believed She Could Cuff

///
 

I don't know much about the healing properties of crystals, but I have to admit I'm intrigued. For the woman who has everything, this would be a fun gift. Even if the crystals don't amount to much in the healing department, they are beautiful!
 

Serenity Gemstone Box

 

///

 

The prettiest robe in my favorite color.

 

Knee Length Kimono Robe

///

Such sweet dishes for mom to store her jewelry.
 

Jewelry Dish

///
 

A luxurious throw that mom would never buy for herself.

Skylar Throw

///

Cheryl Strayed is one of my s-heroes. If you've ever read her before, you know she's basically a psychologist without the degree. This book shares some of her best quotes.
 

Brave Enough

 

///

 

Another pair of Target pajamas. Love the navy and yellow together.

 

Pajama Set

///

This vase is a piece of art. Fill it with blooms from the yard for the perfect gift.
 

Larue Vase

///

You can't go wrong with Fresh products. And the packaging of this gift set is so pretty. If mom is a skincare guru (or is just starting out), she'd love this gift set. 

Rose Hydration Heroes Set

///

Any mom would love this as a prompt to write down the hilarious and poignant things her kiddos say day in and day out. Bonus: write a sweet note to mom on the inside cover.

 

One Line a Day Memory Journal

///

I've always wanted a Longchamp bag. The pink is perfect for Mother's Day, and it's a bag that would last a lifetime.
 

Longchamp Shoulder Tote

///

Such a fun, cute tee. Pair it with jean shorts in the summer for a cool look.
 

Mom Tank

///

The sweetest name necklace. I love the vertical bars.

 

Vertical Bar Necklace

///

This is a diffuser! I'm not sure how it works, but it's so pretty and functional...and even when it's done diffusing, you can still keep it out as a lovely piece of décor.
 

Mini Succulent Aroma Diffuser

///

If mom is in to (side note: in to vs. into?) oils (and so many women are these days), surprise her with this gorgeous diffuser. How pretty would this be on the counter?

Aromatherapy Diffuser

///

Delicate heart earrings that she could wear every day.

 

Heart Stud Earrings

///

I've always loved this scent, and holidays are a great time to grab their gift sets. Any mom would love this.

 

Amazing Grace Gift Set

///

The Opalhouse line at Target is killing it, and this frame looks so much more expensive than it is. Put a sweet picture inside, and mom's day will be made. Promise.

Cast Palm Frame

///

I hope this list gave you some good ideas! If all else fails, a homemade card and letting mom sleep in is a gift itself! :)


 

Weekend Update + Life Lately

How was everyone's weekend? Did all the mamas reading have a happy Mother's Day? I surely hope so!

I woke up to donuts and purple tulips yesterday, as well as some precious cards from my girls. Lily told me I was her BFF. Doesn't get much better than that. We went to church and visited with my parents that afternoon. It was a simple, sweet day, which was just what I wanted.

 They're laughing in the picture below because I said, "Mommy is going to rest all day and won't have to do any laundry or tidying up." Yeah right. Ha!

Saturday was a really special day. I drove up to Memphis for the day to celebrate my niece McKenna, who just graduated from high school. She's going to Tulane in the fall, and she's just a shining star in every way. The drive up was just what I needed. I was alone for 3 hours (alone for 3 hours?!?!) in my car and listened to music that I hadn't listened to in years. I danced; I sang; I reminisced. It was fun. Once I got to Memphis I was able to see so many family members I hadn't seen in a while. Lots of hugs and catching up...it was so good for the soul.

And remember this face below. She is going to do big things in life, I have no doubt.

We caved and got bags and bags of sand for the sandbox area that came with the girls' swing set. Sand is everywhere, but it's worth it because they love it.

We are winding up the school year this week, and I am.so.ready. I need a break from schedules and homework. And come the end of June I'll be ready for schedules again. Isn't that the way life goes? :)

Hadley's school had their annual May Day performance recently, and we had a long talk about being brave and getting up on the stage and singing with her classmates. She seemed ready, and I only prepped her because last time they had a performance she spotted me in the audience and began crying for "Mommy!!!!" I thought to myself how great she was going to do this year...and life laughed at me. As they were walking out as a class, waving their flags, she spotted me and refused to go on stage. I snapped a pic right before the tears fell. Bless her heart. Next year I'm either going to wear camo and hide among all the other parents, or we're just going to skip altogether!

As most of you know, my Dad relapsed last summer and is living with mantle cell lymphoma for the third time. He's been on oral chemo since then and has done pretty well. Recently he's had some setbacks, and his blood pressure has been running extremely low. He'll see the doctor today, and we're hoping for some answers and easy solutions. It's an overwhelming time, and I'd be lying if I said we weren't concerned. We would treasure your thoughts and prayers, dear friends.

We're heading to the beach this week, so I have lots of odds and ends to do around here to get us ready. And I'm getting a spray tan this morning so I won't frighten children on the beach with my whiteness! :) Any tips for making a spray tan stay put?

I hope everyone has a happy day and a great week ahead.
