Very excited about today’s post! I’ve rounded up so many of my favorites things to give you lots of fun ideas for Mother’s Day this year! This is a long post FULL of ideas so sit down and grab a snack. :) I’m kicking things off with lemons. You all know I’m a fan. I have lemons at the top of my blog, lemon trees in my back yard, lemon planning pages and notebooks and dishtowels and lemons in my kitchen year round.

Do you know why I love lemons so much?

They remind me of my mom. :) My mom’s favorite color is yellow and she is a true “yellow” personality on the color test (fun loving, happy, optimistic and ready for a party). Her favorite thing in this world aside from her family?

Lemons.

I get the yellow extrovert side of my personality from my mom. The other side of my personality – the peacemaker who is happy at home and needs to have all things in order I get from my dad. :) Aren’t my parents the cutest!? This is an older pic (I think Ad was in 4th grade!) but I had to share because of my mom’s yellow purse. She always has something yellow on or around her! Every Mother’s Day my sister and I try to get creative with a new fun LEMON gift for her that she doesn’t already have. We know if her gift has to do with lemons she’ll be happy.

Mom – this lemon collage is dedicated to you! Let me know what you want this year. ;) Thank you for all of the happiness and sunshine you bring into my life. I couldn’t ask for a better mom and being a mom myself has made me realize time and time again how much you sacrificed for us and how lucky I am to have you. Can’t wait until we are together again this summer  – swimming, shopping and eating garlic bread at Pizza Factory.

Like always, you bring the Diet Coke.. I’ll bring the lemons. :)

Next fun gift ideas are for all of the moms who love the sun and are ready for days spent at the pool or beach! We’ve had these beach towels for years and they have held up so well. Really large, nice quality!

I shared these recent summer favorites not long ago. This hat is so cute and perfect to keep the sun off your face!

These linen pants are go-tos for me in the summer and I lived in them on our Kauai trip! Perfect to throw on over a swim suit for the pool or beach but also nice enough to wear after to lunch. This straw bag is a favorite too! You can find this year’s version here.

This cute maxi cover-up dress is also back in stock. Great for vacations and another great option to throw on after the beach to head to lunch. Below are my summer favorites!

4- maxi cover-up dress   5- striped beach towel   6- sunglasses

For mom’s who love to exercise and be active I couldn’t love Vuori more! Seriously anything from their website would make a great gift!

I shared lots of my Vuori favorites in this post.

My belt bags would also make fun Mother’s Day gifts! If you want to go one step further put a gift card to her favorite store/restaurant inside.

We can’t talk Mother’s Day gifts without including a few of my favorite cozy items. Barefoot dreams blankets have become not just mine but also my family’s most requested gift! Pricey I know.. but wow. The coziest! A gift that keeps on giving and we use ours every single day – even in the summer! I’m always cold from the air conditioning and this blanket is never far. :)

My beloved Vuori performance joggers will always have my heart and I can’t talk cozy without including them. A perfect Mother’s Day gift! Hands down the most worn item in my closet. (You can also find them here.)

Older pic but I’m wearing them here with my favorite summer house shoes. Linked below – another fun gift idea this time of year!

1- barefoot dreams pajamas   2- performance jogger   3- short pajama

These are my favorite travel bags for mom’s who love to travel! Closed..

and open! I use this large make-up bag the most and gave it as a gift at one of my favorite things parties this year! You can see the extra pocket on the top and more details in this post.

Below are other favorite products for moms who love all things BEAUTY! I’ve used and love everything here.  (The detangling primer is amazing!)

1- vanity mirror   2- brush set   3- body lotion   4- sponge applicator

5- detangling primer   6- waterproof mascara   7- travel makeup bag

8- eau da parfum fragrance spray   9- eyeshadow palette   10- mac brow set

Ok.. I saved my least favorite gift collage for last. I mean.. the gifts are fun! The cooking.. eh.. not so much. ;) This pic sums up how I feel when I cook too perfectly. A combo of tense, annoyed and just waiting for the fire.

I know making scrambled eggs isn’t technically “cooking” but in my house it totally is.. so much so that Kenny has taken over all of the egg scrambling around here since I can’t be trusted to do it. This egg spatula is one of our favorite things! I love that it doesn’t get egg all over the counter when we aren’t using it (Addison is allergic to eggs so we have to be especially careful).

Kenny loves the way it scrambles eggs so perfectly every time. I eat his eggs all the time so I can attest – they are perfect. :) Below are some fun gifts I rounded up for those of you who love to cook! I will never understand you, but I will say that cute mixing bowls and aprons and dish towels do make it more tempting. :)

1- nonstick 6-piece set   2- mixing bowls   3- knife set   4- apron

5- always pan set   6- smart waffle pro   7- vegetable chopper

8- non-stick ceramic cookware set   9- cooling rack   10- spatula

11- set of 4 stripe towels   12- le creuset stoneware set

I hope this round-up was helpful and you are able to find something special for the mom/moms in your life who deserve to be celebrated! This post took a hot minute to put together so I’m off to celebrate myself and enjoy a Coke Zero.

With a side of lemon.
