Mothers Day Hangover
Peggy is convinced Mother's Day is a farce. And there are many reasons I agree with her. Ever heard of the Mothers Day Hangover? Its the day after mothers day when you have to clean up everything that didn't get done the day before because you had "the day off". Our men try, bless them, but sometimes they fail. 

 Didn't get what you wanted this mothers day? Well we can help. Treat yourself! 
How about some relaxing bath salts? Some rejuvinating sugar scrub? Or some soothing body oil?

So if you didn't have a perfect mothers day, take heart. I'm pretty sure no one did. But to the person who really matters, He knows what you sacrifice as a mother every single day, and that's all that matters. 

But in the mean time, feel free to treat yourself. :)

How To Mail A Coconut
Ever go on a beach vacation and want to send something fun back home to loved ones? Well today we have an easy and whimsical DIY for you. Painted coconuts! Did you know you could send a coconut through the US mail? How fun would it be for a child to open their mailbox and be surprised with a beautiful coconut? 


All you have to do is paint a cute picture on one side of the coconut. We obviously chose an outline of the state of florida, but you could do something similar for any country you are visiting. You could also do an easy ombre sunset if you are less artistically inclined. On the other side of the coconut, you simply write a quick message and the address of your recipient, similar to a post card. Drop your coconut off at the post office and they will affix postage to it. What a fun, affordable, and adorable gift! 

 Who will you surprise with this unexpected and creative idea?
