Have you jumped in on the Instant Pot craze yet? I am slowly getting there, my friends and they are truly amazing appliances. They have so many features and can save you so much time in the kitchen. My favorite thing to make (by far!) are mashed potatoes. Seriously, so easy and they turn out so well. My friend Mel at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe has some great Instant Pot recipe, see them by clicking HERE.
Assorted Design Certified International International Large Bowl Set. (For cereal, pasta, soup, etc.)
I bought a set of these fun bowls at Costco this past winter (not sure if they are still in stock there, but you can find them on Amazon at the link above). Oh, my goodness, we have loved them. They are light weight, colorful, hold the perfect amount of soup, cereal, etc. My kids love them because they don’t get overly hot in the microwave. They would make a great mothers day gift. Everyone can use more bowl, right?
This immersion blender is handy for so many things. I use mine to blend up salad dressings, stewed tomatoes, soup, smoothies, etc. It’s so much easier to wash than an entire blender. Love it!
Are these stoneware pans not the cutest? I love all of the Pioneer Woman Dishes, and especially these!
This better bowl is another favorite. So adorable and perfect for making pancakes, biscuits, muffins, etc. Also, the cute factor is definitely high.
Handbag Purse Organizer, with 13 pockets
To say I love this purse organizer would be a grand understatement. It is light weight, has a ton of pockets and fits nicely inside a medium sized purse (you can buy it in several different sizes). I load it full of all kinds of things Mom’s need handy such as… Excedrin for Migraine ;), gum, band-aids, headphones, lipstick, lotion, pens, hand sanitizer, dental floss, etc. I love it because it keeps everything organized so the inside of my purse doesn’t look like a war zone. Also, when I want to change purses I just switch it from one purse to the other. Precious cargo transferred in just a second or two. Love it.
Juicy Bath Co. Lotion and Body Souffle and Body Lotion
A dear friend gave me this lotion/body souffle set for my birthday last year and man, do I love it. The scent is super fresh and fabulous.
I love a good Wooden Salad Bowl. This one is sturdy and deep, making it perfect to take a long to a party. And it looks so pretty…
Soap Dispensing Scrubber Brush
While this scrub brush might seem Overly Practical in the gift giving department it is never the less Ah-mazing and makes dish doing so much better. It holds dish soap right in the handle. With a press of a button the soup leaks out into the brush (or sponge) and onto whatever dish you are cleaning. It’s perfect to use when there are just a few dishes to wash and you don’t want to run a whole sink of soapy water. Love it!
Bronze Family Tree Frame with 6 Hanging Picture Frames
Isn’t this frame adorable! I love the idea of the photos hanging on a “family tree”. I recently attended a wedding reception where the couple had gathered wedding pictures from their parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and even great-great-grandparents. They framed each one individually and hung them in a tree that was growing in the yard where the reception was being held. It was amazing! It would be fun to use this little tree in the same way, perhaps hanging wedding photos of your mother’s posterity. It would also be great stocked with pictures of grandkids, children, siblings, etc. Load this baby up with whatever your Mom would love. (Or buy it for yourself and put your favorite family pictures in it).
Several years ago I made a fun Family Birthday sign for my Mom so she could keep track of all of her children and grandchildren’s birthdays, all in one spot. She loves it. This sign I found on Amazon would work in much the same way. Great for Mom’s and Grandma’s with an abundance of posterity to keep track of.
My mother passed away at age 95 about 4 years ago. But, the things I love most about her was that she was honest to a fault and would tell you the way it was even if it was hard to hear. I also loved when she was younger that we always had family dinner on Sundays and it was fabulous!
I love that she has a sense of humor. She’s putting together a funeral plan and is trying to think what to put on the headstone. She is learning toward, “I’d rather wear out than rust out” with an arrow pointing to my dad’s side saying, “here lies Rusty”. She is constantly on the go and never stops, my dad has a hard time going ?.
My mom had the most wonderful sense of humor in dealing with her nine children. She was always such a vibrant woman. She had wonderful family parties with delicious food.
My grandmothers were both very stalwart in their faith. They taught me to stand up for what I believe in and to do quiet acts of service every day.
My Mother is no longer alive but the most significant Mother is my life is my daughter, Melissa. She is so devoted to her sons it is amazing to watch. She not only snow boards with her sons but she also skis, paddle boards, and takes them to every sporting even that they are in. I lost my soul mate quite unexpectedly on Christmas Day and my Melissa stepped right into his shoes and looks after me all the time. In addition she brings me bouquets of flowers every Sunday and does my grocery shopping for me. No one and I mean NO ONE can ask for a better Daughter and Mother than my Melissa. God Bless her in every things she does in life.
My mother in law is such a wonderful example to me. She had 12 children and to see her patience, faith, and strong love for each and every one of her family members is such an inspiration to me!
I am blessed to still have my mom in my life! At 82 she is a bundle of energy and such a wonderful example of caring and compassion. She not only tells us but demonstrates how her faith in God has and continues to give her the strength to keep loving and serving. WE are so blessed!
My dear mother in law passed away several months ago at the age of 91. She remained until the end, independent, spunky, and fun to be around. I was eternally grateful that she chose to live her final years close to us where we could all be a part of her life. One of her fav sayings was, “getting old isn’t for sissies”. So true! She was a great cook and I learned a lot from her. We miss her!
My mother has always been a selfless soul–one who truly puts the needs of other family members above her own. I will be forever grateful to her for her example.
My mom will turn 95 this October. She still lives alone in her home in Nebraska. We live in Colorado so I try to visit her once a month. I love how independent she is. I’m blessed to still have her in my life.
