+ gift guide | these custom hand-painted silhouette paintings by mr. boddington’s studio | springtwine and twig (one of my favorite small businesses ever- and local to charlotte) has a mother’s day gift guide up + 25% off everything on their site with this code: mothersday (enjoy!) last year my boys got me the most beautiful gift box from bonnie + bud and it was beyond special. (they ship!) 

+ day ideas | last year was my first mother’s day with baby boy. (today marks the two year anniversary of finding out that he was on the way!) when my husband asked me what i wanted to do… i said walk around greenville, south carolina and take photos (while enjoying time together; enjoying the simple things – like a smoothie, coffee, a book store, etc.) other ideas that i love: a quick day trip, a picnic in a park, a yoga class, an ice cream trip, a cookout, reading at a coffee shop together, visiting a bookstore or record shop, or adventures + a beer at the whitewater center

+ food ideas |  last year we enjoyed crepes at tandem creperie and coffeehouse (one of my favorite places ever!) i also love these ideas: tapas, a taco bar, fresh juice, acai bowl, homemade brunch + a yummy dessert.

    Hey girl! I've missed being around your sweet little space. You are always so refreshing and inspiring. I am in love with all your Mother's Day ideas. I need to pass this on to my guys. I'm always at a loss when it comes to giving my mom the perfect gift so I think i'm going to treat her to a pedicure and lunch this year. Of course with flowers and maybe a pretty bracelet or necklace, too. I love the idea of giving time together!

    I hope you have an amazing weekend.
    Xo.
