BFF Open House

 

Happy Friday Eve and Mother's Day Weekend to all the Moms, Grandmoms, Auntie-Moms etc. 

Thank you for the supportive comments about Mr. Chocolate and his health journey. We met with the doctors on Friday, and have an appointment scheduled with another to finalize "the plan". We are both people who can deal with things but we need a plan! 

I was wondering if I was going to get a chance to make some Mother's Day cards for family and friends this year but I got them done! 

Lots of fun and festive ideas were shared at last week's party including some that could be done if you're hosting a Mother's Day meal or bringing something. I'm going to do a simple brunch for my Mom. 

Got yarn? Maybe stocked up at a JoAnn's closing sale? Sonata Home Design shared a fun DIY Pom Pom Rug that's a perfect accent for any room. I'm always looking for things I can do while watching TV. This one works! 

Our Tiny Nest shared a fabulous idea that would make a great Mother's Day, Birthday, Friend, Teacher, You Name It, gift: Personalized DIY Tea Bags. Pick up some thrifted tea cups to make it even more special! 

Press Print Party shared these adorably punny Herb Gift Tags. Perfect to present a potted herb or collection of them as a gift. 

Finally, whether you make this for a Mom or better yet, show it to someone who can make for YOU, this Nutella French Toast Skillet Casserole from Flour on My Face is...YUM! Did I mention the Banana Cinnamon Syrup? You're welcome. 

Thanks again to all who linked up and wishing you a peaceful and wonderful weekend whatever you're doing including nothing at all!

BFF Open House

Happy Friday Eve all. Another week of life being what happens when you're busy making other plans. My mom took a fall and has been in the hospital since last Friday night. Hopefully, by the time you read this, she'll have been released. 

A departure from my usual creative commentary. PSA: PLEASE start much younger than you think is necessary understanding your aging parents realities. Finances, important papers, wishe. No, it's not fun. But it will save you and them peace of mind even if you or they don't think so. Same with cleaning out their homes as needed. My mother is a self-entitled pack rat. We went through a nightmare moving her out of her house and her apartment has become just as cluttered. If your parents are already minimalists...GOOD! 

Alright, let's take a look at a few things from last week's party! 

Our Tiny Nest shared how to make DIY Tea Bags with Personalized Tags! What a great gift to make for multiple occasions from Mother's Day to showers or just because.

Condo Blues shared a recipe for another great gift idea or to make to spoil yourself. Lavender Bath Salts. Dress up with a pretty jar, fun label, or tag! 

My French Twist shared a great tutorial about How to Print on Fabric (I'm also giggling at the sentiment). Great for decor or making personalized gifts etc. 

Finally, Ann's Entitled Life shared this delicious looking Coca-Cola Cake! How perfect for showers or other Spring events! 

Thanks to all who linked up and can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!
