Mom and I are “Like THIS”
Mom and I kinda “grew up” together. My parents were only 22 and 23 when I was born. My dad was serving in Vietnam and I wouldn’t officially “meet” him until I was 8-months old. That meant it was just me and mom!
From mom, I learned to be tough yet kind. To stand my ground yet compromise when needed. To laugh easily, shrug off adversity as “just a learning experience” – and to literally not only find the silver lining, but to find several silver linings. I learned to set a high-bar for how to be treated by others, and the confidence to walk away without a hitch when needed.
My Point – Mom’s Are Special Beings
Mom’s are special. They just are. We can all point to certain qualities we appreciate about ourselves as adults, and trace it back to Mom. Whether it was what she said, or what she did – we learned and modeled after her. Mother’s Day is just a symbolic day to Stop, Drop and Roll – and take the time to express our appreciation and thanks.
It can be something as simple as a phone call, a nice card or a little gift. What matters, is that it’s from the heart. Here are a few gift ideas for Mom, that I personally picked and love 😉
Thoughtful Gift Ideas for our Mom’s…
I love this little layout! It’s relaxing just to look at it, don’t cha think? It’s all about mom practicing Self-Care and nourishing herself. From this yummy, decadent robe, fuzzy slippers (in pink of course!), to the scented wellness candle with a gorgeous Orange-Bitter scent. I especially love the pink fuzzy slippers with these gorgeous (and affordable!) wine or water glasses with adorbs painted roses!

Mom was “the mom” who packed lunches with wheat bread, carrots and carob….NOT chocolate ;-(. Paybacks are hell – “Green juice, mom?”
My mom has worked out, for as long as I can remember. I recall being 4 years old, and walking to the track with she and her friend Sue. She would put my sister and I on the grass in the middle, and run with her friend. She was the mom who packed lunches on wheat bread, with apples, carrots and CAROB (not chocolate – to our dismay), for a “treat”.
Treat mom to a fresh new outfit, or one of these chic jackets that are perfect going from street to studio. And of course, no healthy repertoire is complete without healthy eating. Add my California Sugar Cleanse book, with 53 Sugar-free, healthy recipes – to mom’s gift bag. She’ll love it!

Mom’s always been my biggest fan. The Willing-spirit I could always count on to be there with a “Sure! I’ll help!” attitude 😉
Ok, come-on…..Tell me that relaxing with a glass of wine, curled up with a soft throw, the soft glow of a candle and light scent of jasmine wafting through the evening air doesn’t sound like, really freaking good?! Whether it’s for mom, yourself or both – add a little understated Glam with a set of 2 diamond wine glasses, an airy throw and jasmine spa candle. I really love (and bought!!) this chic bottle chiller. The gold accent adds a perfect amount of sparkle without being too much 😉
