Of course it looks different for us all this year. But you can still send your mother or mother figure a gift.

Etsy is a great place for gifts.

Here are a few that I have you might like:

Spa Items: Perfect for relaxing (and we all need a little of that right now)

I have six different items where you can choose the scent. 

I used these exfoliating scrubs daily:

New Jewelry: Even though we're not going out into the world, maybe your mom needs something fun to show off in the Zoom meetings.

I have earrings, pendants, necklaces, and charm bracelets.

Here's one of my favorites, it reminds me of summer!

Or I have a few fun jewelry boxes.

And don't forget your card, I have some fun ones for mothers and mother figures

I'm partial to this one, because I'd love to be drinking margaritas with my mom right now...

A Mother's Day Book: The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus.

Holly's not sure what to think of life at the moment. She's just about to turn 50. Her daughter's getting ready to go off to college. She's not she how to talk to her husband at times. Plus her book deadline has come and gone. To make everything worse, she just started menopause. Are her best days behind her?

My Thoughts: I've read Sonya Sones YA novels and verse and was excited to see she had one for adults.  I really enjoyed it; it made me smile, it played with my heartstrings, and it made me curious as to what I hope my life with be when I turn 50. (Thankfully, I have 15 years to go, so I have some time for accomplishing things). A fun book about motherhood, just perfect for Mother's Day

Christmas Review: Home for the Holidays

It's winter in Concord, MA and it's not turning out like anyone expects.

Cassidy discovers that her family might be moving back to California. She's finally adjusted and loves her life in New England.

Becca's father has lost his job. They family's struggling, but doesn't want their friends to find out. Their family is still going on the cruise with Megan's family.

Megan's boyfriend broke up with her...in an e-mail. She's feeling horrible about herself. She boosts up her confidence with a boy on the cruise.

Jess was supposed to go to Switzerland for the winter holidays, but when she breaks her leg sledding, she's forced to hang out with her family. Her family's going to New Hampshire for the holidays.

Emma's invited to spend the holidays with Jess. Jess is moping and soon the two of them are fighting.

To top off all the arguments, their secret santa gifts have all been flops. Will their friendships survive the holidays?

My Thoughts: I'm sad this is the last book of the series, though once again, I'm happy the series ending with a Christmas story. I loved reading about the friendship, the drama, and the romance with these characters almost as much as I loved reading about the books they've been reading. A fabulous series! I've never read the Betsey-Tacy books, but after reading this, I think it's a series I'll be reading next year.

Cover Thoughts: Cute and fit in nicely with the rest of the series
