1. Take her out to eat.

You could ask her to coffee or take her out for dinner. She'll love it because one, food and two, you get quality time with her which is what every mom will never turn down.

2. A gift certificate.

One thing you can't go wrong with because women love to shop. TJMaxx, Hobby Lobby, her favorite nail salon, a boutique, or even a local greenhouse if she loves to garden.

3. Essential oils.

If she has an essential oil diffuser, this is perfect. Research what the different oils are advertised to do, (i.e. Lavender is used for relaxation) and pick out one or two that might best suit her.

Sidenote: Essential oils can also be used directly on the skin so she doesn't have to have to own a diffuser.

4. A box subscription.

There are fun box subscriptions for everything. Google "monthly box for (insert subject like clothes, workout gear, etc) It's a surprise for her monthly and she'll think of you every time. (Favorite kid = you)

5. A "dog mom" kit.

Even if you're grown and out of the house, your mom will never stop being a mom. If she has dogs, use that and the recent trend, "dog mom" to your advantage this year. Fill a basket or even a small dog bed with items like:

A dog mom shirt/coffee mug, dog treats, a light up dog collar so she can see them in the dark, a gift certificate for a free dog bath, dog bandannas, and of course... toys.

6. A DIY spa day.

There are so many places to pick these items up at (depending on your price range). Bath bombs and face masks have almost become a necessity so common drugstores and even Walmart have expanded their selections. If you're looking for a brand-specific place to shop or looking to spend a little more on her gift, Bed, Bath, and Body Works or Sephora might be your place to look for your mom some relaxing, feel-good gifts.

7. This cute pot.

8. An occupationally related gift.

An occupationally related gift can be a cute reminder for her every day at work that she raised some awesome kiddos. If she's a teacher, go for a teacher-themed picture frame or decorations for her classroom. If she's a nurse, you can pick out funny tall socks for under her scrubs or a new name badge.

9. CAKE.

If you're gifted enough to bake, make your mom's favorite cake or dessert. If you're not, that's okay because chances are you there's a bakery nearby. Just acknowledging something from her list of favorite things means the world to any woman.

10. Call your mama.

Although obvious, calling her with sincerity will mean more to a mother than we will ever understand if you're not one.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
