It’s also the 2nd Wednesday of the month, so it’s time for the Thrifty Style Team to share their incredible and thrifty decorating ideas. It is always a treat to see what everyone comes up with. I will have all the links to their projects listed below.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I know that my readers are already starting to stress out about what to get the most important women in their lives. With that in mind, I have hand picked some of my favorite Mother’s Day gifts and I know these won’t disappoint! Each is a quality gift. PLUS, when you use the code is MOMGIFT, making gifts starting at ONLY $8.97! Don’t forget the FREE Shipping!
To start off with, look at this monogram necklace. It’s the perfect jewelry that all moms will swoon over starting at just $8.97!
Like I said last week. We do simple Mother’s day gifts in our family. Sometimes a DIY gift, an intimate luncheon, a family bar-b-que, a homemade card, etc…
Now that we have SO many (Nine to be exact) moms in our family, I decided to make these Four Mother’s Day Free Printables. Each color pallet will fit each mom(s) home. And it will be an original gift for each one of the moms.
Spring is so pretty with blossoms, the sun and outdoor activities. Not only that, but Mother’s Day is around the corner. As long as I can remember our Mother’s Day celebrations were filled with small presents, family and lots of food.
When I became a mom, Mother’s Day was a precious day to spend with my little ones. As our family grew older, I dreaded Mother’s Day. It seemed to be a reminder of all the mistakes I was making on a day to day basis. UGH!
Then one year, the light bulb lit up. Whatever mistakes I was making as a mom were never intentional. NEVER. I wanted our children to grow up and become responsible, law abiding, God loving adults. My heart was always in the right place no matter my imperfections. I began to accept what Mother’s day is meant to be. A day to honor Mothers. Not a day to only honor PERFECT mothers.
Now when I receive a darling hand drawn picture, a sweet locket, or a painted rock-I appreciate it for what it is. A thank you for being a mom and/or grandma. Those are some of the most treasured gifts I will ever receive.

I am well over 700 posts on my blog now. That seems almost impossible to me. Some posts are excellent and others, well, let’s just say they could be much better.
I have been in the process of updating and revamping some of my older posts. Hopefully they will be a little more desirable and eye catching once I am done. Cross your fingers for me, okay?
Welcome to Field Trip Friday with Jennifer from Just JP. I met Jennifer back in January at SoFabU. It ends up that we both use to live in the same town in California, and she went to school with my older kids. Crazy, huh? I have seen all the talented crafts Jennifer has made, and she is one talented crafter, that is FOR SURE! She is here today to show you a few Mothers Day Garden Gift Ideas.
Thank YOU for being here today, Jennifer. I am honored to have you visit my blog.
So, take it away…
Happy Wednesday, my friends!! I know the day is almost over, but I couldn’t resist sharing a Spring Tea with you. With the weather so pretty outside, I am in the mood for a Spring Tea, how about you???
I set my Spring Tea table with thrifted finds, Grandma’s vintage tea pot, letters written by Hubby’s grandpa, fresh flowers from right outside my door, and a crocheted tablecloth.
Happy Monday! I’ve Got The Monday Blues for TEN Mother’s Day gift ideas. I thought you might like to see them to spark your own inspiration. Each one was made by lil ole me. I hope you enjoy my ideas…

I hope you have been enjoying Simply The BEST of 2013!! Now it is my turn to share Simply The Best of 2013-What Meegan Makes. What Meegan Makes started on Dec 27, 2011. Yep, it has been 2 full years of posts, creativity, amazing followers, and lots of fun friendships. Thanks so much for joining me on this journey of What Meegan Makes. It was a very slow start. I was doing blogging all on my own until about a year ago. I “met” some amazing bloggers that invited me to their “groups” and “troops” to help spread the word about my blog. I am SO grateful from them. (There are too many to mention) I am a blessed woman, without a doubt.
I am looking forward to a new year full of ideas, inspiration and a new look. Hopefully, my blog will continue to be a place of inspiration, recipes, thrifting, and wonderful thoughts for you to visit each day. I also hope to make the blog more accessible for all of my readers and followers. It will be a fabulous year!!
