Mother’s Day is exactly one week from today!  I can’t believe I’m going to be celebrating my second Mother’s Day (third if you count when Charlie was still growing in my belly!)  Either way, time flies so quickly!

There are so many things I never fully understood until becoming a Mother, myself.  I thought I understood them, but I truly did not.  Being  a Mom is the most magical, best thing I ever did.  At the same time it is probably the hardest and craziest thing I ever did.  Daily, the highs and the lows can be extreme, but somehow we make it work.  As a family, we learn from each other.   As a mother, we learn about ourselves and preserver through the things we thought we never could get through.  We are strong.  We are Mothers. We are SHEroes.

Let’s celebrate this Mother’s Day and the SHEroes in our lives!  I’m sharing a few gift ideas for you that will fit any SHEroe in your life!

Mother’s Day Gift Idea:  DEEBOT 711 from ECOVACS

Cleaning my floors are a constant battle between having a large dog and a toddler.  This was honestly the best mail day ever when the DEEBOT 711 arrived on my doorstep!  This vacuum is the perfect gift for Mom.   ANY Mom would agree that a gift to help lessen the never ending job of cleaning your house is an excellent gift.

There are so many reasons why I love this vacuum!  You can schedule cleanings so it will automatically do the job when you want.  For example, a great time for us to use the DEEBOT is at night so I can wake up to nice clean floors. You can also start it anytime you want, in case there was an unexpected mess! For instance, my daughter  is currently putting the dirt from my lemon tree on the floor for the third time today.

You can even use this vacuum with Google Smart home or Alexa for voice command!  The DEEBOT goes seamlessly from the hard floor to carpet.  You can order your DEEBOT 711 from Amazon here which means you can get it in plenty of time for Mother’s Day!  Trust me, your Mom will love this one and think of you every day she uses it!

Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Woodloch Pines Getaway

I know we just had a vacation, but I basically start planning my next getaway while I’m on a vacation!  I cannot wait to visit Woodloch Pines for a weekend trip!  This would be a great option to take Mom for a family vacation!  It looks like the cutest place to cozy up by the fire, take a swim in the lake, and just spend some quality time together as a family without all the distractions, which is exactly what Woodloch Pines’ mission is!

Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Thank You Mom Candle

When in doubt, candles are always a good idea.  I love burning candles around my home, but when I’m giving a candle as a gift, I like to make sure it’s an extra special candle.  I want to make sure it’s a quality candle that is going to burn for hours and fill the house with beautiful scents!

When I opened my box that housed the Thank You Mom Candle from Homesick Candles, I immediately knew this was going to be one of my favorite candles I ever burned.  The scents of lavender, sage,  white lily, and sandalwood all filled the air!  This brought back the memories of home and spring, sunny days when my mom would garden outside.

These candles are hand poured in the US and made with an all natural soy wax blend (which I always try to burn!).  I love this candle so much and I think it will be the perfect gift for Mom!  You could even put this in a little basket all of all Mom’s favorite things!

Homesick candles is providing a 15% discount code from now until 5/31 for you to try their candles!  Code: Babble

Tips For Burning Your Candle–

• 1. Burn your candle all the way to the edges prior to extinguishing on the first
  burn. This will help release the different fragrance layers and help the wax
  burn down evenly.
  2. Keep the wick trimmed down to 1/4 inch at all times to avoid tall flames and
  soot gathering on the glass.  You can purchase a wick trimmer to make this job easier!
  3. Once there is only a thin layer of wax left, add warm water to soften and
  scoop out the remains. Hand-wash the glass with soap and warm water and
  reuse it as a decor piece, planter, or new beer glass!
