Mama’s Day is just around the corner and what better holiday screams for a DIY than that of the one who gave you life. I know my mama deserves each and everyone of these gifts – plus more. What’s really exciting is that its my very first mother’s day as a mama and because Sofia Marie is a little too young to craft with her wee little fingers, I think I’m going to make a few of them on her behalf… to me, from me!

Has your little one made you something for Mother’s Day that has held a special place in your heart? Do share – a love a heart warming story just as much as the next sap!
