Mother's Day Guide 2021: Here's what Mom really wants!

The pandemic that completely flipped our world last year has taught us many things, but one thing we really learned is just how strong and resilient mothers are! A lot of us had to quit our jobs, start homeschooling for the first time, and some moms had to spend several months away from their adult children and grandchildren. Needless to say, this Mother's Day should be an extra special one.

With that being said, we put together a blog full of different ways to shower all the "Moms" in your life (Safely, of course)!

Let's start off with a toast...

Ingredients:

• Pour about 2 ounces of champagne into a champagne flute (about ⅔ of the way up)
• Pour about 1 ounce of raspberry lemonade into the flute (almost filling the flute)
• Top with fresh sugared raspberries. Enjoy!

 Ways to celebrate Mom at home

• LET HER SLEEP IN (Yes, this had to be listed first, trust me).
• Serve her breakfast in bed (Here is a list of recipes you can follow!)
• Clean the house for her (Here is a quick guide on how to get it done in just an hour!)
• Binge watch her favorite Netflix show with her
• Draw, Paint, or engage in anything creative with her
• If she has young children, encourage them to make her a homemade card
• Pamper her with a homemade face mask or bath salts for a relaxing hot soak (Plenty of DIY face mask recipes here)
  
  

Ways to celebrate Grandma from afar

• Set up a video call date (I'm pretty sure we're all professionals at using FaceTime and Zoom at this point!)
• Send her a bouquet of flowers
• Order her a tasty meal from a local restaurant (you may be supporting a fellow mom's small business!)
• Send her a thoughtful gift filled with photos of her sweet grandchildren! (Here is a link to different options from Etsy!)

Cheers,
