17 DIY Mother's Day Gifts

Moms are wonderful, it’s no reason there is a day to celebrate them. Let’s face it, they deserve the whole year for all they do. I truly wouldn’t be the person that I am today without my mother holding me when I cry, supporting me for my choices and loving the person that I have chosen to become (and am still becoming). Besides giving her the love in return, here are 17 Mother’s Day crafts and DIYs to bring back those childhood Mother’s Day school project memories and show your mother how appreciated she is.

1. Pinecone Roses

Pinecone roses are an adorable spin on a commonly found item from nature and the best thing about this is that they will last way longer than roses (and you can make them ANY color you want)

2. Jar of Reasons Why 'I Love You'

This jar is the perfect way to tell your mother everything about her that is wonderful. And if you need help coming up with reasons, Hallmark has your back.

3. Thumbprint Keychain Heart

This perfect thing about this keychain is that they are so customizable and personable. You can shape them any way you like, paint them and even add your name to the keychain.

4. Popsicle Stick Frame

This proves that something so simple as popsicle sticks can turn into something so cute and special. Perfect for your mom's desk or the fridge!

5. Personalized Candle

Instead of spending tons of money at Bath and Body or Yankee Candle, why not perfect your mom's favorite scent while making the candle in a mason jar. These could be a sprinkle candle (picture above), coffee candle or even a rainbow candle.

6. Dotted Coffee Mug

This is the perfect personalized gift for the mom that cannot live without coffee. Also great for getting creative with letters, shapes and quotes.

7. Painted Mason Jars

Nothing screams spring time and mom than a pastel mason jar filled with your mother's favorite flower.

8. Scrabble Frame

If your mom is an avid scrabble player, ding ding ding, perfect match. A loving way to show your mom what makes her the best mom ever.

9. Candle Bouquet

If making candles isn't your thing but you know your mom loves them and still want to personalize it. Getting smaller sized Yankee Candles and creating a bouquet is a sure way to make your mom melt.

10. Cupcake Bouquet

If your mom has a sweet tooth, baking her homemade cupcakes and arranging them on a plate in bouquet formation would be a sweet surprise. Cake Style does a great video to help get you started.

11. Mother's Day in a Jar

The best thing about this gift is that it is 100% customized to your mom. Getting her favorite little things like makeup, lip balm and candy will make her smile.

12. Bubble Bath in a Glass

Your mom has done a lot for you, it's only fair to treat her to a relaxing bubble bath kit.

13. Personal Bookmarks

Nothing will make your mom laugh more than seeing you hanging from her favorite book. All you need is a camera, printing, string and possible laminating supplies!

14. Fruit Bouquet

Just like Edible Arrangements, you are able to make your own fruit bouquet just by picking up your mom's favorite fruit from your local grocery store along with some skews! Here is a Youtube video with instructions! And if you want to get super fancy, you can make your strawberries look like roses!

15. Relaxing Filled Slippers

Similar to the spa kit this kit is all about relaxation!

17. Personalized Oven Mitts

If your mom is the cooker of the household give her something that will last for years (until your dog chews the pizza stains off the fingers). Here is an awesome tutorial for supplies and decorating ideas!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
