Sometimes we need to offer our own families a little creative inspiration for Mother’s Day. Perhaps, you need a few fun ideas for your own mother? Better yet, many of these wonderful ideas could double as teacher appreciation gifts for the end of the school season!
Here is my notebook of Mother’s Day gift ideas for all of our sweet mom readers:

A mix of new music for the mom in your life wrapped creatively in your kid’s beautiful pictures.

A little breakfast in bed is always appreciated by moms. How about some of these lighter than air waffles with a cup of homemade vanilla chai tea?

What fun crafts or gifts have you done with your children for Mother’s Day? What gift has meant the most to you?
I’m going to be making some of my photo tiles to give my mother-in-law who is flying in to visit for the weekend and hasn’t seen the kids in 2 1/2 years! I hope she loves them. My daughter is going to help make them. I am going to be posting a mother’s day gift link up tomorrow and will be including this fabulous post chock full of great gifts. Thanks, Amy!

I am making a few of these All-Natural Moisturizing Hand Scrub to give to my mom friends. For our mothers, hubby and I ordered flowers.
Last year, hubby and my son made petifores for dessert for me. That was a fun treat!
