Mother’s Day is a time to pause and celebrate the women who have shaped our lives with love, strength, and unwavering support. Whether it’s through quiet guidance, bold sacrifices, or the simple everyday moments that often go unnoticed, mothers have a way of making the world feel a little more grounded and a lot more beautiful. As we honor the mothers, grandmothers, mother figures, and caregivers in our lives, this day offers a chance to reflect on their impact and express the gratitude that often goes unspoken.
Up on the blog this week, interior design is taking a back seat, and Mom is taking center stage.  We're entering the home stretch, Mother's Day is this Sunday! For those of us who didn't realize just how quickly the holiday was approaching, you're on the verge of running out of time to find a great gift. Luckily, we created this helpful list of Mother’s Day gifts for every kind of mom, from artsy moms to fitness moms, and moms who love to cook.
