One Last Suggestion for Mother’s Day!
Do you know what a Felt Letter Board is? They are easily accessible from any craft store, Target or Walmart and usually inexpensive. If you have one or want to get one to express how much you care for your Momma it is super easy! Pick a quote and put it on the board for your Mom to cherish! You can change it when the mood fits or leave it, but this is a wonderful and inexpensive way to show mom how much you care. Below are my five favorite quotes about mom!
- Home is where your mom is
- If I know what love is, it’s because of my mother
- All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my mother
- To the world you are a Mother, but to your family you are the World
- You have my whole heart for my whole life
Some of these quotes are from famous personalities and some have unknown authors. But they are all wonderful!
Conclusion
If nothing else, the best thing you can give your Mom, is your time. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, I would do anything to spend more time with my babies. And with the pandemic I have not seen my Momma in well over a year. Time goes too fast and life is too short. So spend time with your Momma this Mother’s Day, I know she will love it!
Check out some self care ideas HERE for mom too!

I haven’t seen my mom for a year and a half due to the pandemic. I love all these ideas! I agree that time is the best gift (quality time is my love language). I’ll have to send her something extra special this year and settle for a Facetime date in the meantime!

Yes! That would be great!!!!

I’d love to give my mother a gift that wouldn’t worry her over finances.
Kelly
Do it! I am sure she will love what ever you give!

Actually, just let a Mom rest for the whole day. It’s already a great gift. Do all the chores and let her have her ME time for the entire day.
Kelly
That is a wonderful option!
