Cooking Dinner
I have discovered a few amazing tricks over the years when it comes to quickly preparing fresh, delicious and healthy meals for the family. One of my recent favorite’s is a subscription to Nurture Life. They provide healthy, quality and delicious meals for babies, toddlers and kids. I have even snuck a meal for myself and find them so delicious for a quick lunch. They are made from the highest quality ingredients (organic whenever possible) and are ready in 3 minutes or less! I find these are perfect for those busy days with after school activities or when I haven’t had time to go grocery shopping. The food is customizable for your children(s) age and preferences. You can now get $30 off your first order if you use the code “PUREJOY” at checkout! This would be a great gift to any mom!
The Instant Pot has become a serious game changer, especially during our kitchen renovation. I am going to keep my eye out for the best deals this Black Friday as this is SUCH a great gift/kitchen essential. You can even gift it along with this recipe book that shares tons of great recipe’s.
How cute is this meal planning pad from Anthropologie! A great way to list out and visually see what’s on tap this week for mealtime and a great guide for grocery shopping and a way to indicate what can be prepped in advance.
Keeping Things Clean & Organized
I’ve talked about my love for the cordless Dyson so many times but it’s because it’s seriously so quick, easy to use and saves me from dragging out the entire vacuum for everyday mess. Another item I will be on the hunt for on Black Friday to share the best deal with you all as it was the most popular requested item for me to find so I have your back on this!
Does anyone else feel like they can never find their phone or keys when they need them? I found this on Amazon and thought it would be a perfect gift for any mom who’s like me that looses things a lot! Or if your the one that always has a phone on low battery (like Kelly!) then I suggest getting them a portable charger they can have with them whenever they need it.
Getting Ready
If I only had 5 minutes to get ready (which most mornings is all I have) my must have’s would be the T3 some dry shampoo and mascara. I would then throw on my mom-iform usually consisting of a pullover, jeans or leggings and Uggs and run out the door! Now that the kids are both at school I enjoy knowing I have time to come home and continue getting ready for the day if I have meetings or photoshoots, but for the mama’s who don’t have time in the AM those essentials will help you get by!
Self-Care
I wish I had this bath caddy! It looks like it would be so relaxing to safely bring your phone, a glass of wine and your favorite book, magazine or Netflix show on your iPad to the tub.
For the moms who workout, these beautiful Yoga mats from Anthro would make a great gift along with a membership pack to their favorite gym or yoga studio.
Whatever it is you think the busy mom in your life might like (again even if it’s you!) make sure you show them some sign of appreciation and love this holiday season because they deserve it 🙂
