How is Mother's Day in just a couple of weeks?! Eek! Here are some items I have and love, have gifted, and/or want in the worst way (lookin at you Always Pan).
Letters to You Journal. Genevieve and I have been writing notes to each other and it's the sweetest thing. It's such a fun and low pressure way to connect. This journal is simple and beautiful and the perfect way to capture thoughts meant for her kiddos ♥
Biossance Overachievers Cleaning Set. I got this for my mom for Christmas and she loved it! Just added to cart. Should I get myself one too?
Classic Heart Snapshot. I made this for my mom and it came out so beautifully! I think she's going to love it! (my code might still work- try TIFFANYMOM20 to save 20%).
Washed Linen Robe. I adore this robe so much! I originally ordered a different color and it was too big but I loved it so much I ordered this one in my correct size- incidentally I gave the other one to my mom and she loves it too! Comes in 6 colors.
Genuine Leather Apple Watch Band. If your mom has an apple watch, level up her game with this cute band- comes in a ton of colors and is under $15- mine is on the way! If she doesn't have an apple watch, go ahead and get her one- the best price is always here! ;)
Personalized Snap Tote in "Wandering." I have one of these (in this pattern) and I've been carrying it nonstop. It's great for an outing where you need a few more items than will fit in the purse.
Chatbooks Monthbook Subscription. I have this and love that it gets photos off of my phone. These would be perfect for grandma- especially if you live far apart. Using the link provided gets you $10 off (for new customers).
Terracotta Bowl. This has been on my wishlist for far too long. And now I'm putting it on yours. ;) Bonus points for gifting these beautiful beads (a fraction of the cost of this set!) along with the bowl.
Packable Straw Visor. Whether for gardening or sunbathing, this hat is perfect for mom. Bonus points- it's packable and suitable for mamas with big hair (don't care).
Washed Cotton Smock. Ok, I was in World Market the other day and spotted this adorable apron. When I went to link it, I came across the smock and fell in love with it too! I love that a smock can be worn for DIY or cooking. It also comes in several pretty colors and is just $24.99!
Medium Transport Leather Tote. I love the clean lines of this tote- it's form meets function in the best way!
The Always Pan. Would I even be a blogger if I didn't tout the Always pan? I don't have one (yet) but need it! Perfect for the mama who's always whipping up something delicious. It comes in so many gorgeous colors, including ivory if neutral is her thing.
Stadium Seat Cushion. Totally random and not pretty enough for a collage but I also grabbed this for my mom. She's so supportive and comes to all the kids events but those bleachers are not made for backs over 30 years old (I need one too!).

Remember the craft closet? One of the things I loved about that project is that we could easily convert it back to a closet when/if we needed one. Fast forward a couple of years and the time has come. When I made over Dax's room, I moved the dresser out but knowing how cheap, I mean, frugal I am, I couldn't quite let it go. Anyone else amazed at how expensive even "cheap" dresser are? I'm glad I hung onto it because with a fresh coat of paint, it made the perfect base for a quick closet re-do. Here's what we did to transform the craft closet back into a regular closet (no power tools required):
I've shared before about how we keep Easter gifts simple. But the shopper in me loves to fill their basket with lots of cute finds- and get creative too. Also I'm unashamedly that mom who sneaks some "I would've bought this for you anyway" items in their baskets (new undies anyone?). So here are my go-tos for their basket and a gift guide to go along with it! I'd love to hear what gifts always make it into your kiddos' baskets in the comments!
What I Put in My Kids' Easter Baskets
1. Something tactile like these wooden balance blocks! I thought Dax might be too old for these when I bough them last year but he loves them! And bonus, they're adorable.
2. Bunny Lip Gloss. I love gifting consumables. And the girls love cosmetics. Win/win.
3. Bunny Facial Mist. This is on its way to me- Genevieve (12) will love it!
4. A spiritual book/devotional like this prayer journal. Jesus is the reason y'all. This is the latest I bought for my 12 year old. This one makes me tear up (for kids toddlers through about 6).
5. Swimwear- I adore this simple pink one piece. Filed under woulda-bought-it-anyway, but in the best way. It's the only item on the list over $25 but I also love this for an under $25 option!
6. Plus Plus- Filed under something tactile, these are a staple over here. The basic colors come in a blue.
7. Tree Hut Cotton Candy Scrub. Is my daughter the only one obsessed with this?! Perfect for the teen/pre-teen in your life.
8. Accessories like these Heishi bracelets. Genevieve loves these! Oh and this kit was maybe her favorite Christmas gift! Check here for quick ship options.
9. Dax has these fun blue trunks. They come in 5 colors! I was unsuccessful in getting him to wear the hot pink ones. A mama can try.
10. Bubbles in some form always make it in the basket!
11. Shades. You get a pair of shades. You get a pair! EVERYBODY GETS A PAIR OF SHADES!
12. Stuffed Bunny. Always makes it in but life hack- I reuse the same one over and over. You're welcome.
13. More accessories. These adorable headbands make me miss the toddler years!
14. Welly bandages. Band-Aids also always make it into their baskets- but this kit is so cute plus this brand has waterproof ones too!
15. Smiley face trucker hat. Another item that's on its way. I'm not mad at the smiley face trend!
16. Bright flip flops (comes with a yellow pair too). See ya later. Heading to the neighborhood pool.
17. Jump rope. Exercise never looked so cute! Currently under $5!
18. Books. What Makes it Rain? is so educational and fun. Easily one of our all time faves.
19. Olive and June Nail Stickers. so so fun! This line drops on 4/2 and I want it all.
20. Filed under accessories, this smiley face purse has Nadia written all over it. Available 4/2.
21. Something for outdoor play like this Large Watercolor Kite. Also comes in leopard which I may grab for myself.
22. Something crafty like this Tiny Gardening Kit. Dax is super into gardening- this tiny kit would be perfect!
23. and 24. More books! I reached out to my favorite book expert (hi Emily!) for her spring book recs. The Secret Garden is perfect for older kids, while Over and Under, the Rainforest is perfect for littles!
25. Do slinkies always get tangled? yes. Does that make Dax any less obsessed with them. No. #addstocart
26. Love these kid gardening tools - available in 3 colors!
*note- items may have changed in price. The swimsuit was the only items over $25 when I started this round up!
