Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is fast approaching.  Here are a few gifts I've had my eye on.

I posted this one last Mother's Day.  I got one of these for my Mom and I'm still wanting one for myself.  It's an Origami Owl Living Locket.  I love them!

I always have a hard time with key chains.  For some reason, they always break on me.  So I found this cute key chain that I would love to have engraved!

I've also been wanting a locket for a long time.  I don't want a typical Mom locket, I want something different and something that is my style.  I'm kind of in love with this marcasite locket so I'm hoping for this one.

I started following Jessica Designs on Instagram and I'm hooked!  I love her spoons and I really want the 'you are my sunshine' spoon.  I think I'm going to buy the 'dear mom' spoon for my mom!

I also believe I'm going to make these candles and give them to my mom from my kids.  I think they are so adorable and they look pretty easy to make.

And I fully intend to do a print of this myself and frame it for my mom.

So that's it.  Some nice home made cards would be awesome but my husband isn't exactly crafty so I'm not banking on that!  What kinds of gifts would you like for Mother's Day?

    I love the frame idea! The candles look a little out of my league, but I agree with the locket thing. I like monograms and all that but I need something kind of modern looking. I like the one you got for your mom! My mom has 5 kids & 2 grandkids..it might be a little crowded lol

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purcha...
