I remember my first Mother’s Day like it was yesterday. This year will be Mother’s Day number tres. The past two years I have been completely spoiled by the hubs and Charlotte, but I fall into the camp of “gifts make me feel awkward.” Don’t get me wrong, I love them, but I never expect anything. And to be the center of attention kind of makes me super shy. But if I were a wishing woman and wanted to indulge on one fine day celebrating my motherhood, I would wish for these things. Maybe you would wish for these things, too?
ONE.
A day at the spa.
I don’t even remember the last time I got a massage. I take that back. I think I was 13 weeks pregnant with Charlotte. My favorite spa is at Nordstrom, so a Nordstrom gift card along with a free pass to go pamper myself would be highly appreciated.
TWO.
Sunglasses to hide the bags under my eyes.
Respectfully, I would like to hide the dark circles under my eyes from all of humanity, more importantly, the drive-thru people at Chick-fil-A. Right now I am loving these Karen Walker glasses, but I did just get these Tom Ford sunnies at an auction and am loving them.
THREE.
Fancy flip flops.
Because who wants to bother with straps when you’re wrangling a toddler? Anything to make my life easier is what I’m all about. I love these Tory Burch sandals because 1) I can get them wet when playing with the sprinkler or hitting up a splash pad and have no worries about messing them up and 2) because they’re super cute and go with everything.
FOUR.
Pajamas.
Since I’m seriously contemplating the capsule wardrobe via Unfancy, I don’t really need any new articles of clothing. And let’s be real, Mama loves living in pajamas. However, back to the capsule wardrobe point. If you’re familiar with the concept, you will know that pajamas do not count when paring down your closet. There’s a reason for that. The reason is because pajamas are fabulous and fall into the “you can never have enough” category. I love these “bananas” print PJ’s from Nordstrom. They are fun and perfect for summer!
FIVE.
Coffee.
Anything that has to do with coffee, specifically Starbucks, is my love language. Mugs like these or just a wonderful gift card to Starbucks (or even a 32 count Breakfast Blend K-Cup pack) would totally let me know how much I’m appreciated for all that I do as a mom. It’s the little things, people.
No need for more candles like this; I just got a new one not too long ago. But any of these things mentioned today, and I will be a happy camper. Although, I’ll still be just as content with all that I have now and an extra hug and kiss and “I love you, Mama.” But just in case…
What do you want for Mother’s Day, girlfriend?
Happy weekend! See you later, alligator!
Let’s keep in touch…

I’m just gonna go head and send this post to my husband as I would be okay with anything on this list! :) Great ideas! I need new sunglasses, maybe it’s time to branch away from TB!
Awesome! Happy to help, Jen! I have some old Tory Burch as well and some Ray Bans that I love, but the new ones were such a nice change-up. :) Happy weekend!
Yes, yes and YES to all of these things! I have a similar post written for next week except I don’t have a cute collage since personal masseuse and personal chef aren’t great image material… or maybe they are… haha! But seriously, I love this list. I need all of the coffee and some sunglasses today – last night with Clara was rough! — Lisa | Two Martinis
Yay! So glad you like it, Lisa! Hope the nights have been better for you. :) And may your Mother’s Day gift be something on your list!

Great picks! I would love a massage as well. I never pamper myself. And amen to PJs! You can never have too many pj pants.
Oh, the days of massages! How I miss them. Yep, pajamas forever! :)

Great list, my friend! I agree 100% about the pajamas thing. A girl can never have too many!!

Thanks, Alycia! And you are so right about the pj’s! I think my people have something up their sleeve. ;) Hope you’re having a great week!
