Before I had kids, I had the toughest time trying to figure out what I wanted to give my mom on Mother's Day.  Would it be flowers, skincare, a spa certificate?  I just didn't know.  On top of that, depending on when Mother's Day landed that year, my mom's birthday was two weeks after.

Now that I have children of my own, it's fun to come up with gift ideas because I know it will be an activity my children will love.  Think homemade and think simple.
