Do-It-Yourself Gifts for Mom

Blog· Family

Mother’s Day will be here before you know it and NOW is time to get started on your grand gesture to your mom! Even if mom has it all there is always something you can give her that can only come from you; a thoughtful handmade gift from the heart! It doesn’t matter if you are five, twenty, or fifty, your mom will always appreciate a gift made by you especially for her. Check out my top gifts below for a little inspiration!

In the Netherlands, Zeep Kettingen, or soap chains, are given as gifts and hung inside of homes. They are decorative and offer a soft fragrance to any room, closet, or drawer they are kept in. I like to hang them in my closet to keep our clothes smelling freshly washed. Their fine details make them the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. Happy Home in Holland shows us a basic recipe and design for making soap chains at home, but a quick online search will display how elaborate you can make them too. Add beads, craft gems, braided ribbons, or shells to make your zeep kettingen truly your own creation.

Motherhood Journal Jar Prompts are one of the most creative gifts I have seen in a long time. What I like most about this gift is, even if mom doesn’t love to journal, she can use the journal jar prompts to open up to her child, to tell them a story, or share a memory of a special moment she remembers from when he/she was young. Wondermom Wannabe has a full printable sheet of prompts to add to the jar, but I encourage you to write your own to make your gift even more personal.

If you are crafty with a Silhouette Cameo, this is the Mother’s Day project for you, if not, read it anyway and ask a friend if they can help (everyone knows someone who is a queen of the Silhouette Cameo.) It’s worth the effort! One of the coolest projects I’ve ever done has been to take a vinyl wall transfer and place it on a weathered board. It’s a grand statement in the room, just as this Mother’s Day gift idea is.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
