Hallie's Mothers Day 2018

For mothers day this year I decided to go cheap. I was looking for a sugar scrub she had received a few years ago and re-gift it. I know that might sound horrible, but hear me out! Our linen closet is kinda just a throw all, or like a giant junk drawer! We have all kinds of stuff in there; sheets, towels, wash clothes, batteries, cleaning supplies, candles, nail polish, soap, shaving cream, razors, hair curlers, more candles, contacts, old glasses, travel soaps (LOTS), first aid stuff, even more candles, pillow cases, I think you guys get it, we have lots of random stuff in there!

I changed my mind and decided to clean the linen closet for her! I cleaned out the top drawer and organized it, cleaned the shelves, and organized the towels, rugs, hand soaps, and lotions. Then I tackled the second drawer, full of random stuff, like totally random everything and anything! By then I was kind of almost over it. I pressed on and finished! I also found a whole bunch of spa type stuff!

I found a gift bag from Easter and added the spa stuff into the bag. I remembered we had some mini jars and wax cubes. If you've never seen it on Pinterest and don't know what i'm talking about its little car scent things. You put a few wax cubes into the jar, and poke holes into a cup cake wrapper or the jar lid. You then take the rim of the jar lid and screw it on! Put it in your car so when its warm the wax will melt and put off a wonderful scent! My dad cleaned out an old candle jar and we gave it to her too. I found an old notebook of mine and my dad and I wrote 20 reasons why we loved her (10 each) and finally my dad gave her flowers to plant because she loves plants. 

I did all of that yesterday, and so this morning when we woke up I made her some cheesy scrambled eggs (my parents favorite thing for me to make) and toast. After she finished her breakfast we gave her our presents, we managed to make her cry so I think my dad and I did great!

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there!
