Hey there,

Can you believe it's already Mother's Day this Sunday?

Mother’s Day can bring many emotions. For some, it’s a joyful time to celebrate moms, grandmas, nanas, and the women who nurture and care for us. For others, it can feel tender and bittersweet. ❤️

My mother passed away a few years ago, may she rest in peace, so I always miss her on Mother's Day.

Sending love and light to anyone else who is missing their mother, grieving the loss of a child, longing to become a mother, or experiencing any of the other difficult emotions that can arise on Mother’s Day. ❤️

One meaningful way to celebrate Mom is to make heartfelt homemade gifts. As I shared in my last email, there are several thoughtful crafts and DIY gifts you can make for mom on Rhythms of Play. 🙌🏻

Most of the crafts I mentioned were related to flowers, to celebrate May Day and get ready for Mother's Day, but there are lots of other fantastic ideas you can make for Mom.

Handcrafted treasures don’t need to be perfect to be beautiful. Your creativity, love, and thoughtfulness will shine through every handmade gift.

If you will be working with your children or students, need to stick to a budget, or are just short on time, there are several fantastic last-minute Mother's Day crafts you can make.
