Happy Wednesday friends! Whoa, where has the week gone!? I meant to get this post up on Monday but I’ve been in my head a little this week and have been feeling sort of overwhelmed and down. Anyone else? Luckily, the weather was beautiful yesterday and we went on a long walk. The sunshine really helped clear my head and focus on enjoying the warm weather and fun we were having as a family. Today, just as I do every year, I’m rounding up my favourite gifts to give mama for Mother’s Day. I can’t believe that this will be my second Mother’s Day! Jamie made my first Mother’s Day last year so so special and I feel so lucky to have him as a husband. I feel like this year, more than anything, I’d love to have a day where I could just hang out with myself, doing all of the at-home things I love like taking a long shower or bath (or both!), giving myself a mask, manicure and pedicure, maybe bake or do some yoga. I love spending time with Edwin (don’t get me wrong) but it has been weeks since I’ve had more than 3 hours to myself at once and I miss it! With that, I’ve curated a gift guide filled with comfort and wellness in mind. For the mamas who likely need a little break at this point….I see you. Happy online shopping husbands!
PS: This photo is of me and my mama last year when we did a flower arranging class together (read the post here). We had so much fun and I got lucky and my little newborn bubs slept through the entire class. Looking back at this photo now is crazy because I can still see how swollen my face was from giving birth about 7 weeks prior. What a difference an entire year makes!
