Well, fancy meeting you here! I hope you all are enjoying your Cinco de Mayo weekend so far! The weather here in Sacramento, CA has been absolutely beautiful!!

As you know, Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Sometimes it can be tough to shop for Mom because it “seems” like she has absolutely everything already! Trust me, she doesn’t! ALL mommah bears deserve the world on Mother’s Day for holding down the fort the other 364 days of the year! TRUE OR NO?!😉

If you are thinking where to shop for her, one of my absolute favorite stores is Cost Plus World Market !! This store has a little bit of everything for absolutely everyone! Every single time I shop here, I have wild success! Trust me, if I could I would buy the entire store in a heartbeat! That’s how AMAZING their products are!

World Market has trendy, boho inspired items such as home decor, furniture, clothing & accessories, yummy treats, and soooo much more! I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite gift ideas for Mom this Mother’s Day!

Adorable and will never die! Put in a window ceil for Mom!

These are perfect for Mom’s upcoming summer wardrobe!

Mom can sip on her wine in style like the queen she is!
Straw totes are so trendy and fun for summer!

Mom can put all her fav jewelry on this trinket!

PS: World Market also has the most gorgeous gift bags, tissue, and cards! Everything is also affordable as well! Win-win baby! Go check this store out if you haven’t already! You won’t be sorry, I promise!

I sure hope this post helps you with gift ideas for Mom this Mother’s Day 2019! They all truly deserve the world for everything they do! Happy Mother’s Day to all my fabulous Mamas out there! We love you all and would be lost without you!ENJOY💋

What to get your love for Valentine’s Day!

Why, fancy meeting you here! Welcome back! I sure hope your weekend is treating you well so far! Hopefully you are relaxing and enjoying a breather from work. It’s a rainy, cold evening in Sacramento right now. Perfect to be indoors, bundled, and writing with my dogs right by my side! Are you stressing about what to get your significant other for Valentine’s Day?! Whether you haven’t been dating long OR you’ve been married forever! Read on for a few, simple ideas that they are sure to love!

  • Homemade scrapbook (My absolute personal fav! You can’t get more thoughtful than this! Chronological order is always fun. Get supplies at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or even Target. Add stickers, captions, inside jokes, song lyrics. There are no rules)
  • A customized valentine’s day playlist with all their favorite songs or your guys favs! You could even go the romantic route and play all sappy, love songs. (Play over dinner and drinks)
  • Which ties into a tasty home cooked meal! Cook their favorite dish of all time or I personally recommend some bbq’d filets from Costco, grilled asparagus, and a scalloped potato. Remember, garlic makes any dish! Don’t forget the candles for ambiance. You can’t go wrong!
  • Sports jersey! Their favorite team of course. My husband recently got a new, Sacramento Kings jersey for Marvin Bagley the 3rd! He’s a talented, newer NBA player who he just loves.
  • Pack a picnic and head to a nearby park! Talk about easy and romantic. Whether permitting of course. Pack their fav foods and drink! Most importantly, put the cell phones away!! This is a great opportunity to connect and spend quality time together.
  • DAY TRIP!! Go somewhere they have never been! Take a drive, make a dinner reservation, and play some awesome tunes.
  • On a side note, I challenge you to make a homemade card NOT a store bought one. It shows you took the time to put in that extra effort. They are so easy and fun to make. Get some blank cards, stickers, gel pens.. and go to town!

I’d love to hear feedback from you if any of these ideas were a hit! I think this is truly a great start if you’ve been stumped on what to get your love this year. I know if you’ve been with someone for years it can be difficult because you feel like you’ve done it all! Go get your creative on! Have fun doing it!! Hopefully Valentine’s Day 2019 is one for the books. Don’t forget to tell everyone special in your life you love them. Life’s too damn short!

Until next time loves!!

xoxo, Alicia
