"I'm not like a regular mom. I'm a cool Mom"

Dear moms, we love you. I mean, where do we begin to thank you in one day, for all that you do? For all the dinners prepared, the lunches made, the school drop-offs and pick ups, the clarinet concerts, the Saturday softball games, the mentoring, the wisdom. How do we tell you how thankful we are for sacrificing your sanity, brushed hair and daily showers that so we can have brushed hair and showers? You made sure that we were always fed, loved and you knew our next move before even we did. And yes, I am convinced that you really do have eyes on the back of your head.

If you are like me, you know and have a ton of Mother's in your life. I am 30 so about 90% of the females in my life are mothers by now. And I am forever grateful for you! What is the one thing that every woman loves to receive? Yes, you guessed it, flowers! Even the ones that say "I don't like to receive flowers" the jig is up. We know you secretly love to receive flowers.

This Mother's Day we wanted to create something unique and special. Every holiday, the grocery and floral shops flood the front entrance with masses of the same looking bouquets for those last minute shoppers who found out the night before with a text from their sibling "what did you get mom for Mother's Day?" As the "oh crap!" comes flooding to your brain, you remember that Mothers Day is tomorrow and you better go pick up some flowers ASAP!! You know who you are. Well, this year we wanted to avaid the last minute crowds and so we created these adorable, home-made bouquets, that weren't available on the shelf in a store ;)

We created 4 bouquets for about $10 a bouquet. Super affordable! Here's what we used for the bouquets:

1 yard of burlap ($4 at Jo-Ann's Fabric)

2 Dozen White Roses ($17 at Costco)

1 Dozen of Purple accents flowers ($10 at Costco)

2 Bundles of Baby's Breath ($10 for both at Ralph's)

String (left over from a Christmas project)

Printable Tag (Free printable at The Painted Arrow)

We also wanted our moms to relax and enjoy a cup of joe on us while the kiddos are in school for those few hours a day. We know how precious your time is! Our friends over at There's a Peanut in my Belly, created this free printable on their website "Thanks a Latte for all you do" Which we just couldn't resist! (And yes, that's a coffee sleeve with a gift card tucked inside. ADORABLE!!) Head on over to their website HERE and follow them on all their social media platforms. They are a genius at creative prints! And you can still find this darling printable free,HERE.

We had so much fun making these personalized bouquets that we are definitely going to make it a regular craft. I don't think that I can purchase a random bouquet again. Make sure to follow me for a step by step tutorial on how to make these personalized bouquets. Stay tuned!
