I’ll never forget my first Mother’s Day, I felt so united to other women and grateful to get to experience motherhood. At the time, my first boy was about 2 months old and I, crazy in love with him. I remember my husband telling me that I could go do whatever I wanted, but all I really wanted was to be with them (that’s changed, ha!) and eat donuts (that hasn’t!).
This is my gift guide for those special mamas in your life, including you! Because the occasion reminds me of a birthday, I don’t like getting practical gifts, but there’s a couple in here in case you do. 😉 Please enjoy this little list that I’ve put together with love!
