Motherhood is easier when you’ve got a solid crew. Whether you’re looking for online mom groups, must-follow social accounts, or IRL meetups, this section is full of places to find your people.
This is the place for Mom humor and real conversations. A great podcast, always keeping it fun and real on social media and just a fantastic community where you can tell it how it is.
Tara Clark Modern Mom Probs (@modernmomprobs)
She might be my favorite. A true honest mom who just speaks to me and probably you too. Highly recommend following her, it's so helpful in every aspect of motherhood!
Diary of an Honest Mom
I love this woman's account. She puts things into perspective so easily and so clearly. As an aging woman/mom your body is a hard thing to handle at times and I always find myself feeling better after taking in her content. Highly recommend!
Danae Mercer Ricci (@danaemercer) - Instagram

Things Moms Actually Want
No, we don’t need another “Best Mom Ever” mug (unless it’s really cute). This section is packed with gifts that moms will actually use and love—think wearable, practical, or just downright fun.
A beach bag for Mom. This is so pretty and chic and perfect for the Mom who may still be going to the beach this summer with the kids but at least she can do it in style. Imagine her beach read, a pair of great sunnies, SPF and your hydration of choi...
Waterproof Caning Tote
I'm a big fan of pairing down what I carry in my bag. This is perfect for just the essentials, some cards, ID, a little cash and thats it. I love the simple personalization and the zipper with the toggle is so lux!
Emily Bamboo Leather Card Case
In my opinion there is nothing better than a good quality robe. I have the bedding from parachute and I know their quality is top notch first hand. I also love the muted but beautiful color choices
Cloud Cotton Robe | Parachute
Let's be real, most moms probably love their old high school t-shirts and shorts or sweatpants but sometimes, sometimes it's really nice to feel a little fancy and to treat yourself to a nice set. This set is beautiful and fresh and feels so good to ...
Flora Nikrooz Sabrina Pajamas & Robe Travel Set
I am a HUGE fan of fresh flowers and even more of a fan if it's a reoccurring gift from a small farm. This is my ideal gift. Brings life into the home and makes me smile. I just love these!
Weekly Bloom Bundle
A favorite of mine but if I'm honest I don't ever buy it because it's a lot to spend on a candle. But as a gift I will gladly accept! :-)
Capri Blue Volcano Lavender Capiz Jar Candle
Creating an oasis right in the comfort of your own home. For the girlies who love a pink moment and savor their alone time in a hot bath this is the perfect gift.
Wavy Salt Cellar
For the Mom that loves to cook but she might always be making fast and family-friendly meals. This is a step up and allows her to take joy in her cooking again, to slow down and make something for herself with high quality ingredients.
The Luminous Capsule
These are so pretty and functional. I love getting a new pair of sneakers that are clean and stylish.

Self-Care That’s Actually Attainable
Spa days are great, but let’s be real—most moms just want five minutes of peace. From skincare to stress relief, this section has self-care picks that fit into real life (and feel like a little luxury).
You have no idea how much I love this. What a great read and she is so right. I would highly recommend you do something similar. It may seem hard to plan but in the big picture a couple nights away is really a drop in the bucket. And you deserve it.
my solo mom getaway and why you need to take one too
A fantastic resource if you need some ideas on how to incorporate some you time into your daily routine. I've used a number of these in my life and found they have literally saved me when I think I'm about to go mad!
Realistic Self-Care Ideas for Moms — Hustle Sanely® by Jess Massey
Something I wouldn't buy myself because it's not a necessary item. I do like these a lot and it does feel nice to take a little more time in the morning or evening and do a little more in-depth skincare for myself. Those bags are not getting anymore ...
Mom's Night In Patchology Patches
I love this brand, it feels so high quality and again something I wouldn't necessarily splurge on myself. I also love dry brushing. It feels so good and I do feel it helps with my circulation. A great detail to incorporate into your routine that does...
The Spa Kit
Now full transparency this is a BIG splurge but boy who wouldn't benefit from a trip like this. This is my dream and I would love to experience this first hand so I can pressure all my Mom friends to go too because I know it will only benefit them an...

A splurge that Mom's don't always take but are worth the investment. High quality ingredients and makes the skin feel so smooth.

Give Mom a Break (Literally)
Sometimes, the best gift is time off. This section is all about experiences over things—think subscription boxes, weekend escapes, and gifts that give mom a well-deserved break.
I have had the pleasure in participating in one of these workshops and I can't recommend it enough. If you are in the Baltimore, MD area these are great. Low commitment (choose just one class or sign up for a few) and they give you everything you nee...
Flower arranging class
What a great community that celebrates art in authentic ways. They had a wine and watercolor class which was right up my alley. You just show up with your creativity and see where it leads you. A great outlet for a Mom who might need a little time to...

I truly love this list and I think it is so true. These are no doubt the 10 Reasons Why a Mom Wants a Night at a Hotel as a Gift. Straightforward and truthfully and VERY insightful!
A hotel staycation ALONE!
I can speak from experience, when we hired a house cleaner to come twice a month I was a little unsure. I knew I could do it myself and it would save us money. BUT now having the house cleaner for over a year it's really money well spent. I still tid...
