5 Gift Ideas that prove THOUGHTFUL is better than EXPENSIVE…
I found this post on Juliannehough.com
I couldn’t agree more with the post that her friend Catt Sadler wrote. I had to share it.
Happy Mother’s Day to my lovely Mom, Susan. I love you with all my heart! I’m thankful everyday to have YOU as my Mother.
It’s hard to put into words what being a mother means to me. It is the greatest privilege I’ve ever known. Whereas in most areas of life I can reason and use logic to approach a given situation, this is the one arena where I find all that goes by the wayside. Most mothers would agree you’d die for your children. You’d run into a burning fire for your children. You’d move mountains to know they are safe, healthy, fulfilled, inspired and living their best lives; whether they are two weeks, two years, or twenty years old!
With that said, when it comes to Mother’s Day I know many people spend hours online and in the stores seeking out the perfect gift for mom. Well, I’m a mom and let me tell you the truth: the priceless gifts cannot be bought because they don’t cost a thing! We really just want to be with you, spending quality time, laughing and loving on each other.
Some of the best days with my kids were the greatest presents I’ve ever received. Feel free to turn my memories into your weekend plans! Below are some inspirations for beautiful memories to make with your family.
1. Nature Walk
There’s something to be said about getting outside and going for a good ol’ stroll. Some of my deepest most meaningful conversations have been had while simply taking a walk.
2. Flea Market
Hunting for treasures is always a fun way to spend the day. There’s something for everyone and even if you don’t find anything worth taking home, it’s exciting to look.

3. Get Crafty
Whether it’s decorating a frame, painting on canvas, attempting a piece of pottery, or making jewelry, creating art is an awesome way to bond.

4. Plant a Garden
Veggie and herb gardens are the gift that keeps on giving. Once the garden you created starts to harvest, you can enjoy meals together truly made from scratch!

5. Picnic Time
There’s nothing better than well thought out picnic. Don’t forget mom’s favorite foods and snacks, she’ll notice. Promise.

Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful and selfless mother, Linda. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and step-mothers out there doing their best. And Happy Mother’s Day to the women in the role of mother being examples to those little ones in need.
A Happy Day indeed.
