Hey Loves!

I really hope your new normal is treating you well. Honestly, it’s been a huge adjustment at my house and I slowly but surely embraced the changes, incorporated new practices and embraced my inner Elsa and stepped “Into The Unknown” and showed myself I can.

With that, so many events and celebrations have been canceled or altered into something unrecognizable from the original planning stages. I get it. I actually look forward to Mother’s Day every year because I get to hang out, pamper myself, eat slowly, shop and have so much alone time. Well, that isn’t going to happen like that this year so I thought I would share some ideas that popped into my head in case you are looking for ways to celebrate yourself or your favorite mama.

Curated Boxes

Chocolates, French pastries, gardening, charcuterie – oh my! Put together, or have someone put together a curated box that creates and experiences of the senses. The sky is the limit here and your imagination can take you on a journey from the packaging to the contents inside.

Mom-osa Brunch

Order in , try a new recipe, gather the Prosecco, juice and fruit. Then join in with your mom squad via hangout app,  google hangouts or zoom and toast yourselves. Get dressed, put on some make up and have a virtual Kiki of epic proportions.

Movie for One

Go with me here, place a pick or delivery order for alllllllllllllllllllll the movie snacks. Legit, all the ones you could never find to purchase before you went to the movies (you know, back in the day when that was a thing.) Or the movie snacks would never pay for with your firstborn. Actually get whatever you want, order a whole pizza and a fried goat cheese salad. Rent a movie or rent some movies from various streaming apps and enjoy in your most comfortable loungewear!

Favorite Things

This one is as simple as it sounds. Gather up all your favorite things, savor and enjoy. Or, if this is for your favorite mama, gather all her favorite things and all her to savor and enjoy. It could be big, small or a mixture of everything in between.

Online Shopping Spree

 We get it. The days of perusing TJ Maxx and finding marvelous finds are gone indefinitely but gift cards or a specific budget to do some damage online is where it is at! Phone, laptop, tablet…the vessels are optional and sales are abundant. Try not to stalk delivery trucks five seconds after you hit “submit order” though.

Spa Day

If your Mother’s Days were spent anything like mines were, massages, waxing, manicures, pedicures, facials were a great part of the celebration. Again, this pandemic life will not allow for such experiences, but we can still lavish and have an ultimate #selfcare party. Candles, bath bombs, face masks, body scrubs can lead to a day of relaxation and pampering paired with some soothing tunes.

Wishing you and yours a most joyous Mother’s Day. We deserve it.

Love you. Mean it.
