17 DIY Mother's Day Gifts

Moms are wonderful, it’s no reason there is a day to celebrate them. Let’s face it, they deserve the whole year for all they do. I truly wouldn’t be the person that I am today without my mother holding me when I cry, supporting me for my choices and loving the person that I have chosen to become (and am still becoming). Besides giving her the love in return, here are 17 Mother’s Day crafts and DIYs to bring back those childhood Mother’s Day school project memories and show your mother how appreciated she is.

1. Pinecone Roses

Pinecone roses are an adorable spin on a commonly found item from nature and the best thing about this is that they will last way longer than roses (and you can make them ANY color you want)

2. Jar of Reasons Why 'I Love You'

This jar is the perfect way to tell your mother everything about her that is wonderful. And if you need help coming up with reasons, Hallmark has your back.

3. Thumbprint Keychain Heart

This perfect thing about this keychain is that they are so customizable and personable. You can shape them any way you like, paint them and even add your name to the keychain.

4. Popsicle Stick Frame

This proves that something so simple as popsicle sticks can turn into something so cute and special. Perfect for your mom's desk or the fridge!

5. Personalized Candle

Instead of spending tons of money at Bath and Body or Yankee Candle, why not perfect your mom's favorite scent while making the candle in a mason jar. These could be a sprinkle candle (picture above), coffee candle or even a rainbow candle.

6. Dotted Coffee Mug

This is the perfect personalized gift for the mom that cannot live without coffee. Also great for getting creative with letters, shapes and quotes.

7. Painted Mason Jars

Nothing screams spring time and mom than a pastel mason jar filled with your mother's favorite flower.

8. Scrabble Frame

If your mom is an avid scrabble player, ding ding ding, perfect match. A loving way to show your mom what makes her the best mom ever.

9. Candle Bouquet

If making candles isn't your thing but you know your mom loves them and still want to personalize it. Getting smaller sized Yankee Candles and creating a bouquet is a sure way to make your mom melt.

10. Cupcake Bouquet

If your mom has a sweet tooth, baking her homemade cupcakes and arranging them on a plate in bouquet formation would be a sweet surprise. Cake Style does a great video to help get you started.

11. Mother's Day in a Jar

The best thing about this gift is that it is 100% customized to your mom. Getting her favorite little things like makeup, lip balm and candy will make her smile.

12. Bubble Bath in a Glass

Your mom has done a lot for you, it's only fair to treat her to a relaxing bubble bath kit.

13. Personal Bookmarks

Nothing will make your mom laugh more than seeing you hanging from her favorite book. All you need is a camera, printing, string and possible laminating supplies!

14. Fruit Bouquet

Just like Edible Arrangements, you are able to make your own fruit bouquet just by picking up your mom's favorite fruit from your local grocery store along with some skews! Here is a Youtube video with instructions! And if you want to get super fancy, you can make your strawberries look like roses!

15. Relaxing Filled Slippers

Similar to the spa kit this kit is all about relaxation!

17. Personalized Oven Mitts

If your mom is the cooker of the household give her something that will last for years (until your dog chews the pizza stains off the fingers). Here is an awesome tutorial for supplies and decorating ideas!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
