Mother's Day Guide

This Mother's Day will be special for us because both Matt's mom and aunt will be in town (along with his uncle, cousins and some other family and friends). We're having everyone over for a BBQ on Sunday and I've gathered inspiration from Pinterest & blogs to make the day special.

1 - I love this beautiful (and free!) cake topper template via Studio DIY 

2 - I'm planning on making a lemon poppyseed cake, both of these recipes look great: 

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting via Technicolor Kitchen

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting via Always With Butter

3 - I'd also love to make these Nutella Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies via Averie Cooks

4 - I love a beautiful, messy floral arrangement. This could be easily made with some 
Trader Joe's blooms and some clippings from my magnolia tree (image via here).

5 - Champagne and Sherbert.. sounds delicious! (image via here).

I've also rounded up some of my favorite pretty things that one wouldn't typically buy for themselves.. which makes for the perfect thoughtful gift!

1 - I adore this set of beautiful, feminine bowls available in my shop.

2 - This dainty bracelet is so simple and pretty... and it's on sale!

3 - Have you smelled the new Aerin Lauder candles? They are amazing (and perfectly feminine). 
I especially love the Sky Flower scent.

4 - I have had an undying love (obsession?) for macarons lately! They are so pretty, 
and a perfect little treat for Mother's Day if you don't have much to spend on a gift.
