Well if she does it’s not that big of a deal she’ll just know that I thought Mother’s day was on May 20th when in fact it’s on the 11th. Whoops! At least I figured it out before the date had passed so I’m totally on top of it now. If you also whoops on the date or are not sure what to get her I’m here to help!
(Last Mother’s day when my sister, mom, I were all together)
Right now in the shop I’m offering free US shipping through Monday May 5th (no code needed). I’ll take Mother’s Day orders through May 7th but to get them in time you’d have to choose expedited shipping options at checkout.
Need a few ideas:
-the state where she was born
-all the states her children live on one chain
-a state/country she’s always wanted to visit
-the state or country she’s never moved out of but loves with all her heart
-the new heart necklace with her kids initials or just plain
-a place that holds a special meaning to her
-if you need more ideas message me I’m happy to help!
And I think it was a pretty good trip! The weather here was so nice! I don’t think it rained one time while she was here and it was sunny to boot! How about that?! We spent our time shopping, walking around the neighborhoods (finding the treasure tree and this really big tree), eating tasty donuts and food, and spending the weekend on an island in the Puget Sound-it doesn’t get much more northwest than that!
After that excitement my mom and I took the kayak out and paddled out in to the sound. We heard once we got out a little ways we would get a great view of Mt Rainier and oh boy we did! And just as my mom snapped a picture of it a seal popped his head out of the water. So cute!
It was nice to show her the city but spending the weekend on the island was so peaceful. We visited the same island back in December but in April it felt like a whole new place. Maybe it was all the sun! On the last day out there we spent the better part of the morning digging for geoducks in the rocky shore but we finally got one out of the sand! Good thing because my hands were getting so cold and I think we were all on the verge of giving up.

We went back to the city Sunday afternoon and we took my mom to one of our favorite restaurants in Capitol Hill for dinner. Then we got second dinner because she had to try some Pho! Haha! On her last full day in Seattle I took her to Jock and Jill to get some fitted running shoes and since it was another beautiful day we took a spontaneous paddle boat ride on Green Lake. It was a long day out so we kind of crashed at home and got mom ready to leave the next day. I’d say it was a pretty great first trip to Seattle but we left lots of things for next time. So when are you coming back mom?
It’s taken me forever to get these up! This was our last great destination while on the Olympic peninsula in Washington while my dad was in town back in February. We had spent the weekend further in the on peninsula and on the last day we drove to the coast before swinging around to head back to Seattle.
The weather was crazy that day. It was pouring rain all day long. As we drove up to the beach we got an insane view of the ocean. The wind was whipping the trees around and the waves were crashing onto the beach and up against the rocks. It was a little scary but we braved the weather and went to explore the beach. Despite our rain gear we all ended up soaked and cold but for that view on that day it was perfect.
After a long ride home driving in the rain and me serenading everyone along with the radio we made it home. We got takeout for dinner and watched Moonrise Kingdom which my dad really loved. It was a pretty great ending to a really fun trip.
