“Be kind to your Mother because you’ll never have another!”
Well, that might not be exactly true, but it was something I heard all of the time from my grandfather Big Daddy. FYI - When I was confused as a little child, my family told me my grandfather was the BIG Daddy, which stuck!
My MOM adored her Mother, and we spent time with my grandmother Mary-Mary (whom I'm named after) as often as possible. My Mom was my best friend, despite the fact that we still had the Mom and daughter issues from time to time, but this isn't so unusual. Plus, I was a handful! As much as Moms and daughters love each other, I hear from so many others how the dynamics can be complicated from time to time. No one knows you better than your Mother, or at least that's what my Mom would tell me, and it was true. She knew me like the back of her hand, she'd say. I still miss our laughs, our conversations, and our irreplaceable relationship. She passed away about twenty years ago now – at 58 years old, but time doesn't change love. It's the one thing that can last for eternity. So, let's join together and cherish our Moms, whether they're still with us or just looking over us, on this Mother's Day!
One way to celebrate our Mothers - and the other women in our life – is through pampering and providing a few gifts that are meaningful, and isn't it even great if they're made by women? And give back?! Well, check out the great gifts below. Just a little extra TLC might be especially needed after the year MOM has had, so I would love to call your attention to the products that are sure to pamper and please below!
And even though some of us may not be a MOM - like me, I am a "Dog" mom, so I feel that I might pamper myself, too! Why not?! If you are getting to know me, you are realizing that self-care is an ongoing theme here!

In my previous life, I ran a spa and beauty company, and this company was one of my ultimate favorites. I loved their high-end, quality spa and beauty products, and they were one of the first ones I reached out to when wanting to offer natural, environmentally conscious companies here. I so encourage you to review their offerings as the discount is a real treat for us all! I'm using the heavy moisturizing cream right now, I've needed it at night time for the winter. And I've also liked their overnight mask. It is all helping me feel more moisturized and healthy!
