Great Mother's Day Gift Ideas

*Note - I had planned to post this review much earlier, but my oldest came down with a NASTY bug.  When I finally had her nursed back to health, she lovingly shared the bug with me.  Haha!  I considered not posting, but then I thought of how many folks forget Mother's Day, so I thought it would come in handy.  Also, to be honest, as a mom, I much more prefer to be surprised with a gift on a day OTHER than Mother's Day.  It shows that my loved ones appreciate me even when they aren't required to!  So pick up one of these fantastic books for your mom and hold it as a "just because" gift. Your mom will love that!

Mother's Day is coming up!  (Yay!) Does anyone else wish Mother's Day was on a Saturday instead of Sunday?  Seriously, what mom gets to sleep in and enjoy breakfast in bed when you have little kids to get ready for church?  But I digress. Every mom wants to feel appreciated, so I thought I'd give you guys some great gift ideas for that sweet mama in your life.

Erin Condren Teacher Planner Review and Discount!

I'm back with another Erin Condren review! You know how much I LOVE all things Erin Condren!!!  This time its her Teacher Planner and, once again, I'm in love!!!  I just started homeschooling this week, and although this planner is set up for a teacher in a public of private school setting, it can also work great for homeschooling with just a few adjustments!  So let me walk you through the planner and show you all the awesomeness.  To begin with, its 9" wide by 11.5" long, so there's plenty of room to keep track of everything. And I love that its coil bound, so it lays flat and is easy to write in.

Inside the front cover is a place for you to write your name and number or school name, etc.  And then there's a colorful title page.  Erin Condren loves color and so do I!

OK.  I'm done.  I just had to gush for a moment.  If you've been reading my blog for a while (or keeping up with me on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest) then you know my love for all things Erin Condren.  I've already reviewed their Life Planner and Address book - both of which are AWESOME, by the way - and I have several other amazing products just waiting to be reviewed!  I've just been trying to space them out so as not to overwhelm you all!  Haha!  But today I received one of their newest products and I just COULDN'T WAIT to review it!!! - The new EC Placemats!!!

They have some really great choices for placemats on their site!  There are personalized placemats, placemats you can color, and the ones that I chose - the "You Are Special" placemats!  I love these!  For $28, you get a set of 25 placemats (its like a notebook where you tear one off).  The best part is the personalization rectangle at the bottom right!  You can write a little note to whoever you are celebrating!

So, where could you use these placemats?  Well, the possibilities are ENDLESS, but here are a few ideas:
1.) Birthdays - celebrate your spouse's birthday or your child's birthday by serving their meal on top of this cute mat!  Write a note that says how much you love them!
2.) Birthday Party, Wedding Shower, Baby Shower - use these to personalize each child or adult's place at the table with their name!
3.) Family Reunion, Holiday Dinner - Use these for reunions, Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners!  Write each person's name on theirs!  Or for Thanksgiving, write one thing you love about/are thankful for for each person!
4.) Special Achievements - Dance recital, winning the big game, graduation, job promotion, good report card, or just because!  Celebrate a loved one by giving them the "You Are Special" mat and writing something awesome on it!

And look at the awesome box they come in!  Erincondren.com always sends their packages in style!!!
