Mother's Day Gift Guide


 What are you getting your Mom for Mother's Day?   I am going to give you some of the best ideas for gifts right here in this Mother's Day Gift Guide.  Make sure to bookmark this page, I will be updating it right up until Mother's Day!


I can't think of a nicer gift for Mom than a pair of Lugz.  YES, these are Lugz!  These blue tie-dye canvas mule oxfords are so comfy.  Mom will want a pair in every color.  You can also get them in pink, white, and black!

I love being able to slide on a shoe and go.  No fuss.  These are perfect for the backyard cookout or a run to the grocery store. Slide them on and go!  That is my kind of shoe, especially now that it is warmer.  Get yours now at Lugz.

Make sure to look for the giveaway coming soon!



For all the moms who can’t get enough of pasta night but desire (or require) gluten-free options, one tasty online gift for under $50 you  can consider is a subscription of new ZENB Pasta made from 100% yellow peas.Grab Mom the ZenB starter pack or get her a subscription to ZenB Pasta. Offered in Rotini, Penne and Elbow shapes, ZENB Pasta stands the flavor test for any pasta lover by offering the same taste and texture as traditional pasta, but with more protein and 30% fewer net carbs in each three-ounce serving. Boxes of six ($28.49) and boxes of 10 ($47.49) are available for delivery with a variety of cadence options so moms everywhere can enjoy convenient, delicious and nutritious pasta any time.





It’s never easy to get Mom a gift that she really wants or needs, but I think that once she gets a Finders Key Purse® she will be thrilled that she never has to dig for her keys, fobs, or safety items ever again. Going to the store and don’t bring a purse? Slip your Finders Key Purse® onto your waistband since your jeggings or leggings probably don’t have a pocket.




They are cute, fashionable, and functional and only $7.95, so they are affordable for everyone. Want to add something else to the gift? How about a panic alarm, pepper spray, or one of their “no-touch tools”. Now she has a safety product that she can actually use if needed.

Marla Goldberg is the creator of My Sacred Journal, a self-help journal to inspire and help people overcome their obstacles. This is a great journal for moms to share their hopes, dreams, and desires as well as rid themselves of negativity from their lives.

Maybe Mom needs a margarita! These Cutwater Tequila Margaritas come in a 4 pack can and retail for $12.99.

Dryel Helps Me Save Time and Gives Me Freedom

 This is a sponsored post on behalf of Dryel.



This past year has proven to me that we can get work done in our pajamas!  If you have sat at a Zoom meeting with pajama bottoms on and a dressy top, you are my people!  You now have the freedom NOT to have to wear office attire all day long.  Just pop on that Zoom for an hour and you are good to go for the day!


I like to be able to work in my loungewear, don't you?  And when I am ready to put on that dressy top and MAYBE add a blazer, I know that it will be fresh and clean because I keep my Dryel kit with all my laundry products.  I don't have time to actually go to the dry cleaners to take and pick up dry cleaning.  Why should I, I have Dryel at home.


Now that I am working from home, I have the freedom to wear what I want.  I can dress to the nines or I can put on my favorite sweatpants.  The choice is mine.  I like having the freedom to wear what I want when I want.  This has been very liberating to me.


I have rotated about ten pieces of my business attire for the past six months.  Having Dryel at home has saved me so much time. Once a month, I just launder them according to the instructions and I am good to go.  I was constantly having to either do laundry or take my clothing to the dry cleaners.  Now, I know I don't have to do that any longer.  I have time to do the things that I want to do.


I love to garden and living in a warmer climate affords me the opportunity to do it year-round.  Having the time and the freedom to do so has become so very important to me.  I can easily change from work clothes to my gardening clothes.


Dryel has helped me save time and given me the freedom to wear what I want when I want to.

Yardwork and Everyday Tasks Made Easy with Hose Reel Carts





On days where the sun is shining and the weather is warm, you may be the type of person who loves getting outside to get yardwork done. With a wall-mounted garden hose reel, you’re more than likely to be limited by mobility. Say you’re trying to water a garden or flower beds on one side of your house. It can be a hassle to drag your garden house from one side to the other! Plus, you may not have a hose reel on that part of the house, forcing you to drag the hose back over to the right side of your home. Luckily, there is a great solution that will increase your watering, washing, and filling abilities. A hose cart is a mobile reel that can be transported anywhere you need it to go. What types of things can you expect to be made easier? Here are a few everyday tasks that hose reel carts make easy and efficient!

1. Plant Maintenance

If you’re a gardener or love to keep flowers and other plants on your patio, a hose reel cart can really come in handy! They allow you to wheel your hose wherever you need it on your property. This will be a major change if you’re used to lugging your hose from faucet to faucet. The reel cart will also keep your hose out of mud, wet grass, leaves, gravel, and more than could cause damage or force you to spend additional time cleaning up before reeling it back in. Water your fresh vegetables, herbs, flowers, and whatever else you enjoy growing with ease when you use a hose reel cart. The cart will also allow you to water new grass if you’re seeding areas of your yard that need TLC without dragging the house overtop the growing grass.

2. Car Washing

How many times have you been washing your car and, when going to the opposite side, the hose gets trapped under a wheel or becomes twisted? You may have even tripped on the hose a time or two! While washing vehicles, a hose reel cart will do a great job of keeping the hose wound up and out of the way. These allow you to use just enough hose for your needs and keeps the remaining length neatly wrapped on the reel. After you’re finished washing your car, it’s quick and easy to wind the hose back up instead of manually wrapping it onto a wall-mounted hose reel.

3. Home Exterior Maintenance

Keeping your home looking presentable and up to your standards is important. The base of your home may be susceptible to splashed mud and grime after heavy rainstorms. A hose reel cart will provide the mobility you need to spray down the sides of your home to keep it looking nice. It will also be useful when spraying off the patio or driveway, filling up your pool for the summer season, cleaning out gutters, and more. Best of all, a hose reel cart isn’t permanent, so you can wheel it out of sight when you’re finished with your outdoor tasks for the day. If you don’t like the look of a wall-mounted hose reel, this is the perfect choice for you!

4. Large Dog and Animal Care

If you own a dog that is a big too large for your bathtub or you simply don’t prefer bathing your pets inside at all, a hose reel cart can help make outdoor bathing manageable and efficient. Instead of pulling the entire hose out to give your dog a bath, a hose reel cart will keep the mess at bay so you can quickly bathe your pup and get your hose put back with no issue. They’re also great for washing horses and other larger animals if you own farming property. Hose carts keep stalls as organized as possible, which is a win-win for you and the animal. No dragging your hose through mud! Instead, you can simply rinse off the cart’s wheels and place it in storage.

These are just a few of the many ways in which a hose reel cart can benefit you. When shopping for one to add to your home, choose one that is made of high-quality materials like aluminum and brass. Try to avoid plastic reels, as they will not offer the value you deserve. If you’re used to using a wall-mounted hose reel or haven’t really had a reel at all, you will absolutely love the ease and functionality that these carts bring to your everyday life.
