It was 2010, and I told my sister “I finally understand mom.”

It was when my first son Rohan was born, and everything just clicked. Even all of the overbearing mom things we used to get so annoyed with and gab about for hours!

Everything came from love, we just didn’t get it yet.

I get it now and it was an incredibly overwhelming moment to understand what all Mom did for us.

Mother’s Day is a hard one, how do you tell Mom how much you love her, and honor everything she’s done for you?

1. Well top on my list is quality time!

That is my first must have to celebrate Mother’s Day. In our tradition we try to spend the Saturday before Mother’s Day together so the day is all about her.

My sister and I love to look for things that Mom will treasure. We steer past the useful and look for the just because type of gifts.

Here are a few your Mom might love.

2. Vintage Tea Cup Candles

3. Jeweled Pill Box – add a little glam to your daily health care routine

4. Gift Soaps on a Vintage Plate

5. Jewelry – can’t go wrong

6. A piece of art to finish a spot for mom

7. A workshop for you and Mom to do together

8. A little humor

9. Gorgeous Mirror

10. A family portrait – looking for a current family photo where we are all there and smiling is tough! Make it easy for mom and schedule a day for family photos including all.

Design tip – coordinate clothing to match your decor so your portraits blend seamlessly with your home design.

Which one reminded you most of your mom?
