Celebrating Mom | Mother's Day Gift Ideas

simple monogram tote

 

Mother's Day is only a few weeks away and if you're like me and order everything online these days, it's time to start thinking about what you might want to buy.  The simple monogram totes above are always great for moms, since we are always lugging around everyone's stuff.  I also love these sweet, girlie gifts below...

One Room Spring Tour - Front Door/Porch

Hi there!  I am really excited to be part of this One Room Spring Home Tour that Kathleen from Lindsay Hill Interiors put together.  She has the most amazing eye for design, so I feel honored that she included me.  I love how she came up with the idea to only showcase one space of your home rather then an entire home, which is quite the undertaking.  You can see the full line-up of talent at the end of this post and you can follow along on Instagram by checking out the hashtag #oneroomspringtour.

If you are coming over from Life on the Shady Grove, welcome!  I found Wendy via Instagram awhile back and oh my goodness if you haven't visited her site or feed you have got check her out.  She is a wife, mom and has the most gorgeous home and adorable animals.

Most of you know that we are in between homes right now, but we will be closing on our new one in May, yay!  So today I'm sharing a space from our last home that we sold in December.  To tie into today's theme, this set up is our outdoor porch furniture that I thought would be fun to set up in our yard and create a little entertaining or relaxation spot for Spring.

 

 

 

 

Here's a little bit about what I did to refresh this furniture and space for Spring.  The oleanders and other landscaping made a great backdrop to create this space, so I pulled our porch furniture over and got to work.  After cleaning up the furniture from all of winter's mess, I added color with the bright blue throw pillows and napkins.  I also added the black and white striped umbrella which for us provides more of a décor piece, as this area of yard is completely shaded in the late afternoon. 

 



 

 

The galvanized planters hold both my mason jars of fresh flowers, as well as my chips and dip.  I love using fresh flowers and fruit to add color to a space.  

 

So that wraps up my Spring  One Room Tour, but there is still lots of inspiration to be shared all week.  Next, head over to Sarah @ Life on Virginia Street to see how she decorated her entryway, which will be tomorrow's theme.  Her home is stunning and I am always so inspired by her décor and design ideas.

Sandals Under Thirty-three

one | two | three | four | five | six

 

Have you seen some of Target's cute and affordable sandals they have out this Spring?  I walked by the shoe department last week and of course had to take a peek.  I ended up deciding on number two and then got to the register and the lady said, "you know they are buy one, get the second pair 50% off?"  So back I went for number six :)  I've worn both already and really comfy.  I didn't see number one in my store, but found it on-line and LOVE that pair too!  They are all priced in the $20 range, except for number three which is $33.  Such great prices that even without the BOGO 50% off, you could pick up a couple of pairs.

 

Hope your week is going well!  Have a beautiful day!
