My hubby is a very sweet guy, but he likes to claim he just isn’t creative or thoughtful when it comes to holidays and gift giving. He tells me that other girls get flowers only because their husbands don’t fix their brakes on their cars for them (lol).
Well, for my first Mother’s Day he completely surprised me! My jaw must have hit the floor when he pulled out this basket for me with orchids (one of my favorite flowers that I notoriously love but can’t keep alive), champagne, and a HANDMADE card. He even traced my daughter’s little hand onto the card since she was too little to write! I was just rainbow vomiting over the cuteness.
He made me strawberry crepes and mimosas for brunch, and double surprised me with a pre-scheduled appointment at the Salish Lodge Spa for the following weekend.
I am not posting this to brag, but as an idea for any daddies struggling what to do, since this was just so sweet! He did admit that coming up with all this on his own and that once my daughter was old enough to talk that Mother’s Day was on HER to plan, haha! Oh well, I will take this for now! 🙂

Looks like you had an amazing day! Lucky, lucky girl xx.
Keeper alert 🙂 He has indeed been creative. The tracing of your daughter’s hand is the sweetest thing. My husband often says the same thing btw as yours but he also delivers in his own silly ways 🙂
I thought the hand tracing was SO CUTE! I couldn’t believe he thought to do that. So sweet.

You kind of scared me, I thought I missed Mother’s Day this year somehow! What beautiful gifts.
Haha no, this is from Mother’s Day a few years ago 🙂
This is the cutest!! What a sweet thoughtful gift 🙂
That’s the sweetest! Your hubby can’t fool us… he is totally creative! What a lucky gal you are!
