Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Guide
May 10 is the big day--our chance to celebrate moms. Since it's unlikely many of us can plan a special in-person visit, we've got to get creative with our gift giving. Here are three of my best ideas for last-minute Mother's Day gifts.
Make Bouquets and Flower Bomb Your Mom Friends
Fabulous Florals is a family-owned wholesale business in California. they're now in the business of shipping flowers to consumers. Because pivoting is the new normal. They shipped me a mass of glorious peonies this week. I made up mini bundles for my local mom friends and have done drive-by flower delivery.

Quick Flower Arranging Tips;
- When you open your delivery, trim about an inch off the bottom and get the flowers in water right away.
- Make sure you are using CLEAN containers. Bacteria can ruin your arrangement.
- The height of the flowers should be in proportion to the size of the container. Since I was using cheap and cheerful mason jars, I trimmed the stems quite a bit.
- Don't overcrowd the flowers.

Give Chocolate and Hope
I know a LOT of women are finding comfort in chocolate and I 100% support this. Here's a way to gift something mom will love and do good in the process. The Vosges Momma Bar is a wonderful partnership with Covenant House, an organization that helps runaways and children in need.
The Founder of Vosges is a fellow Vanderbilt grad and a Founding mama. She's seen her fair share of challenges. Last year her husband lost his arms and legs due to illness. Somehow she's still finding a way to give back while also homeschooling her boys and running a million dollar business.
For every chocolate bar purchase, Vosges will match and send a bar and meditation to a mother in need of being acknowledged and thanked.

The bar is my absolute favorite blend of pink Himalayan salt and 45% deep milk chocolate and it's infused with vibrational sound therapy.
That's right, chocolate really can heal. The pink salt represents the strength of the mountain and of a mother.
