Nanny to Mommy

Mother's Day is quickly approaching. Have you thought about what you are sending to your loved one? During these unprecedented times, I thought I would share what you can do for your mom or grandmother or matriarch of your family that you can buy online and ship straight to their door. I have shared in the past gift ideas for mom that don't cost any money and while some of them may still be able to be done, some can't. When you can't be there in person because you are protecting the person you love, then these are great options to share.

All moms have demanding lives which means that their health and wellbeing is often put on the backburner. However, in order to be the very best mum to your children, it’s crucial that your own self-care is a priority on your to-do list.

It’s okay to take a moment for yourself or get the help and support you need, especially if you happen to be feeling completely overwhelmed or finding yourself struggling to cope with personal issues. There are moments when making the decision to put yourself first will help you become a better parent, but why should you?

Before we left for our cruise vacation to Mexico (which I will talk more about later), I contacted a few different companies that I have been wanting to work with for a while because I wanted to dress nice for dinner every night. Cate & Chloe is a company that actually contacted me and I am finally getting the chance to work with them which I am very excited about. I received their Summer Reminiscence VIP August Jewelry Box to review.

You can select The Starter which is one Piece of new fashionable jewelry per month plus a free gift or you can choose Full VIP Status where you get 3 pieces per month plus a free gift, always free shipping. One you select you box, then you choose what type of jewelry you would like to receive (they no longer offer personalized jewelry boxes), but you can pretty much pick your style. Let me explain: They have the "Trend Setter" which can includes eye catching statement pieces & boho chic designs, "Modern Classics" for those who like to accessorize their life with beautiful elegant classic jewelry designs for day or night from the office to the red carpet, and then they have "Mix It Up" which includes a variety from both trendy and classic.

I chose the "Mix It Up". And since I've explained how you can go about selecting your box, I would love to share what was in my box with you.

My husband asks me almost every night, are you coming to bed with me? And during the school year, I do. But it is summer. The kids are with me 24/7. And before they were in school? I didn't get that break. So the reason I don't go to bed when my husband does? Because I just want some me-time.

During the school year at the end of the day, no matter how many cups of coffee I have had, I'm tired at the end of the day. But during the summer, I don't have to worry about schedules or routines as much. But I do have to worry about keeping little ones entertained. All. Day. Long. I don't mind, I really don't! I love spending quality time with my children making crafts, going to the zoo, or going swimming. But I try to squeeze in me-time any way I can.

I received complimentary products to provide this review. All opinions are my own.

As you may remember I did an unboxing of the Ecocentric Mom Pregnant Box. Once they saw I wasn't pregnant, they decided to send me just the mom box for this month's unboxing. Ecocentric Mom Subscription Boxes not only have a pregnancy and mom box, but also one for mom & baby.


What I love about Ecocentric Mom subscription boxes is they have researched everything to only include the best, healthiest products for you and your family. You also get an item that is a "keeper", something that can't be "used up" and what is more eco than that!

Here's what came in this month's box:
