Let me start by saying that I’m not a seasoned pro mom but I’m confident that I know exactly what the moms in your life want for Mother’s Day. My daughter is only 15 months old so this is only my second time celebrating Mother’s Day as a mom. In addition to my own wishlist, I polled my social media audience of over 25,000 women and the results were nearly unanimous.
All we really want is a break – a real break because MAMA IS TIRED! I’m sure the weight of the past year given at-home orders, social distancing, juggling working from home with kids home 100% of the time made a break extra desirable this year but I’ll go out on a limb and say you cant go wrong with this option any year, especially for the moms of young babies and toddlers.
While I’ll be starting with all of the rest and relaxation gifts we want, don’t worry… I found a few special gift ideas for those of you who want something to wrap up as well.
