With Mother’s Day falling right at the beginning of Summer, I’ll be the first to admit that in the past I’ve been guilty of letting the warm weather distract me from doing right by mama. Thinking up the perfect gift and planning a memorable day can be daunting, so this year our advice is: Don’t overthink it! Getting together is really the most important thing, and if you add on one of these creative and thoughtful DIY projects, you can bet Mom will have the best day ever.

For the mom who loves tea, create your own blend with her favorite flavors, then wrap them in unbleached muslin for a DIY tea bag. Add old family photos to the pouch for a fun trip down memory lane.

    These ideas are so lovely and sweet. As I have grown older I have found that my mom loves the company over the gifts, but these heart felt options are the perfect cherry on top. Will use for sure!

    Sooo wish I could have a Mother’s Day picnic with my mama in the park (or in LA – at the beach!). Unfortunately she’s all the way in Texas, but I get to see her in a few weeks! 🙂
