Mother's Day + Terrariums + Gardens

This year will be my first Mother's Day as a mom! I'm so excited! Around this time last year, I hosted a little Mother's Day brunch at my friend Jennifer's house. It was a brunch full of millennials, most of whom were separated from their mamas on this special day. So, we decided to gather together and celebrate our moms, to talk about them, to brag about them. It was such a lovely time (I might just have to throw another one). We all filled out these cards, designed by Jen, to send to our moms...the cards have thoughtful prompts such as, "Growing up, I wish I had thanked you more for..."), allowing for you to personalize the card for your mama!

I'm not sure yet what I'm going to give to my mom this year, but Uncommon Goods and I have partnered to give you all some ideas on what to get for Mother's Day. They sent me this beautiful moss terrarium. What I love most about this terrarium is it's easy to build yourself, and they’ve already found just the right kind of fleecy mosses (all I have around here is the hard stuff)! My mom always has house plants, and she manages to keep them alive...for a long time. Oh to have a green thumb...a skill I definitely did not inherit from my mom. We'll see how long I can keep my moss terrarium alive (although, apparently, I can't kill it...it just goes "dormant" and then needs to be refreshed with water...so cool!!)

If you’re also looking for flora to give as a mother’s day gift, a couple other ideas might be their succulent wall planter or chemistry terrarium, also at Uncommon Goods. Now I’m going to do some more looking of my own while I wait for my little one to wake up from her nap! Then she and I are going on a walk to enjoy the beautiful day we're having in VA!

This weekend, Joe and I are going to tackle our garden. Owning a home is wonderful, but there's a lot of maintenance...and gardens just don't happen! Here's hoping all the hours of working in my mom's garden pay off! Happy weekend, friends!
